custom widgets > preserved after plugin updates?

I’m sorry but my custom widget is not loaded when I save it in the directory:
wp-content/uploads/transposh/widgets
the default widget appears instead.

It works perfectly when I save it in
wp-content/plugins/transposh-translation-filter-for-wordpress/widgets
Unfortunately it is not protected from updates there.

I’ve named the widget file “tpw_list_with_iso_codes.php”

This is the line of code that calls the custom widget in my theme (the above php file is placed inside the “iso_codes” dir)
if(function_exists("transposh_widget")) { transposh_widget(array(), array('title' => '', 'widget_file' => 'iso_codes/tpw_list_with_iso_codes.php'));}?>

This is the content of the file

<?php

/*
  Plugin Name: List with iso codes
  Plugin URI: http://transposh.org/
  Description: Widget with languages ISO codes

 */

class tpw_list_with_iso_codes extends transposh_base_widget {

  /**
   * Creates the list of iso codes
   * @global transposh_plugin $my_transposh_plugin
   * @param array $args - http://trac.transposh.org/wiki/WidgetWritingGuide#functiontp_widgets_doargs
   */
  static function tp_widget_do($args) {

      echo "<div class=\"" . NO_TRANSLATE_CLASS . " transposh_iso_codes\" >";
      echo "<ul>";

      foreach ($args as $langrecord) {
          echo "<li> <a href=\"{$langrecord['url']}\"" . ($langrecord['active'] ? ' class="tr_active"' : '' ) . '>' . 
          "{$langrecord['isocode']} </a> </li>";
      }

      echo "</ul>";
      echo "</div>";
  }

}

?>

Please do you see anything wrong in my code or setup?

Many thanks
Guido

I’m a bit confused by the “full version” concept.

A few days ago I was given this website to mantain, and it had transposh plugin v 0.9.9.0 installed. As part of a normal maintenance plan, using wordpress (.org) update I updated the plugin to the latest version available, as a result now I have 1.0.4.1.

Am I on the full version now? I think so, because of the .1 at the end.

Should I reinstall 1.0.4.1 after downloading it from the transposh website?
If so it’s very important for me to preserve existing settings and translations.

As for the webserver setup it looks fine:
the uploads/transposh/widget dir is owned by the webserver user and has 0755 permissions
if I put a test file in the same dir of my custom widget, I can see it using a web browser on a client.

Thanks again
Guido

The custom widget is inside a dir:

uploads
  transposh
    widgets
      iso_codes
        tpw_list_with_iso_codes.php

Yes, I uploaded some current widgets to that directory, but I could not find “the widget appearance selection box” to check for the asterisk you mentioned. Where is that selection box supposed to appear?
