Samsarin PHP Widget

Posted By: Saturday 10 May 2008 No Comments Yet

Reconfiguring your WordPress sidebar is easy with widgets: Just drag and drop widgets into the desired place on the sidebar of your blog, update and your done! But what if you want to use a php command line in one of your widgets? If you want to do that, you’ll find out that you can’t do that! However, there is a solution to that “problem” and it’s called Samsarin PHP Widget.
The Samsarin PHP Widget can be used like the default text widget in WordPress but it allows adding php command lines by enclosing PHP codes.
I’m using the Samsarin PHP Widget for the search widget in my sidebar. The default search widget doesn’t work for me: it doesn’t show it properly (when I enable it, it “floats” right in the middle of my sidebar while I’ve put them on the left side of the sidebar!) and it doesn’t allow me to customize the search button. So this is when I start using Samsarin PHP Widget.
The installation of the plug-in is easy: Download, extract and upload to your plug-in folder, go to your admin console, go to Pluggins, and Enable the Samsarin PHP Widget.
When you have enable the plug-in, go to your theme editor, Widgets and select the number of php widgets you want to use. By default 1 will be available. When you’ve set the numbers of php widget you drag one the widgets to your sidebar and edit its title and body and you’re good to go!
