Hello,
I wanted to add a custom widget to the PageBuilder and found this tutorial:
https://siteorigin.com/docs/widgets-bundle/getting-started/creating-a-widget/
I followed the instructions, but i don’t know what you mean with
Once you’ve done this, you’ll see your widget in the Plugins > SiteOrigin Widgets list, it can be activated and deactivated
My Steps:
I created a Folder ‘pagebuilder’ in my theme directory’
I created a Folder ‘icon-row-widget’ in the pagebuilder folder
I created the file ‘icon-row-widget.php’ in “pagebulder/icon-row-widget”
Code from icon-row-widget.php:
<?php
/*
Widget Name: Icon Row
Description: An example widget which displays 'Hello world!'.
Author: Me
Author URI: http://example.com
Widget URI: http://example.com/hello-world-widget-docs,
Video URI: http://example.com/hello-world-widget-video
*/
class Icon_Row_Widget extends SiteOrigin_Widget {
function get_template_name($instance) {
return '';
}
function get_style_name($instance) {
return '';
}
}
siteorigin_widget_register("icon-row-widget", __FILE__, "Icon_Row_Widget");
Function.php
function wbexample_add_widget_folders($folders){
$folders[] = get_template_directory() . '/pagebuilder/';
return $folders;
}
add_filter('siteorigin_widgets_widget_folders', 'wbexample_add_widget_folders');
