Samsarin PHP Widget

By Chris Pettitt | March 10th, 2007

If you are not familiar with Wordpress widgets, take a look at Automattic’s Widget plugin. The plugin makes it easy to reconfigure your Wordpress sidebar by dragging and dropping widgets into place on a sidebar menu.

The Samsarin PHP Widget adds a new text widget that allows PHP to be included inline.

Installation

  1. Download the Samsarin PHP Widget and unzip it.
  2. Copy samsarin-php-widget.php to the /wp-content/plugins directory.
  3. Login to your admin console, go to Plugins, and enable the Samsarin PHP Widget.

Recent Changes

  • Now hosted at the Wordpress plugin directory. This should allow you to get notifications when the plugin is updated.
  • 1.3.2 - Added an option to reset a widget or to reset all widgets
  • 1.2 - Increased max # of widgets to 25
  • 1.1 - Fixed a widget API incompatibility in Wordpress 2.2
  • 1.0 - Initial release

Known Issues

  • Editing widgets does not currently work in Internet Explorer. A short term workaround is to use another browser, such as Firefox or Safari. This will be addressed in an upcoming release.

Usage

The Samsarin PHP Widget can be used like the default text widget. In addition, you can add PHP to the Samsarin PHP Widget by enclosing PHP code as follows:

<?php your_code_here... ?>
  1. In your admin console, go to Presentation, and then go to Sidebar Widgets
  2. Select the number of PHP Widgets you want in the “Samsarin PHP Widgets” window. By default, 1 will be available.
  3. Drag one of the Samsarin PHP Widgets to your sidebar.
  4. Click the window button on the Widget to edit its title and body.

Frequently Asked Questions

What versions of Wordpress are supported?

This plugin has been tested with Wordpress 2.2, 2.3, and 2.5.1.

My Samsarin PHP Widget does not show up in the widget admin console

First, make sure that the plugin is enabled.

  1. Log in to the admin console
  2. Go to Plugins
  3. Verify that “Samsarin PHP Widget” is in the list. If it is not, then wordpress doesn’t see the plugin. Is it in your plugin directory (wp-content/plugins)?
  4. Verify that the plugin is enabled

If it is enabled and you can see it on the left hand side of the Design | Widgets page, then it is possible that the content of one of the widgets is causing a problem. With Samsarin PHP Widget version 1.3.2 you can reset the widgets.

  1. Backup your database.
  2. Go to Settings | Samsarin PHP
  3. If you know the name of the widget that is not working, use the “Reset” option. If you do not know which widget is failing, use the “Reset All” option. This will reset the widget to its initial, empty state.

Warning

This widget provides great flexibility in customizing your sidebar. It achieves this by automatically evaluating any included PHP included in the title or the body of the widget. Care should be taken when including PHP code in the sidebar, as with anywhere else in the Wordpress system.

License

This Wordpress widget is available to use and redistribute as you wish. If you redistribute this plugin, please include the original copyright and license information. I would be happy to hear how others are using this plugin and I would also appreciate enhancement requests.

    [...] Widgets WordPress widgets - the jewel in the WordPress crown. Widgets remove the need to hack individual files, inserting snippets of code here and there to get extra features and functionality. Before widgets, upgrading your WordPress installation could be a tricky manoeuvre, fraught with danger - you upgraded and lo and behold you lost all those little snippets of code. However, the great thing about Widgets is that not only can you download hundreds of them, you can also take all those little snippets of code and widgetize them. You can create your own “Text Widgets” and use text and JavaScipt inside them. If you want to include PHP code inside of them, then just download the Samsarin PHP Widget. [...]

    I love your plugin! and it’s working like a charm. I have one question/request though. I’m using xlanguage to make my blog bilingual. The only problem is related to widget title localization. I’m using some normal text widgets on my sidebar but the don’t get the title translated. I’m thinking about change them for your samsarin php widget because HelloSam the creator of xlanguage provides some instructions to localize plugins using a simple instruction in the code of the widget. He claims that instruction doesn’t break the code even if you’re not using his plugin. The problem is…I don’t know where to add this funtion in your plugin’s code, and I dont like to modify other’s work without permission. Could you take a look at his instructions and let my know if it’s possible and where to add it?

    These are the instructions:
    1. Open the php file that contains the widget code
    2. locate the widget code responsible for rendering, usually the handling function is specified by the wp_register_sidebar_widget invoked in the code.
    3. In the rendering function found, locate the $before_title variable.
    4. Wrap the title variable with the apply_filters: localization, so it might look like this: apply_filters(’localization’, $title)
    5. Done

    And this is the page: http://hellosam.net/lang/en/project/xlanguage/4

    Thank you so much in advance.

    Hello Dibujor,

    My widget is free to change as you like. You don’t even need to publish the changes to me, though I’d definitely be happy if you did, and I will credit you in the changelog.

    I haven’t done any localization work yet on the plugin, but it would certainly be a nice feature to add.

    It looks like you need to change line 81 (of version 1.3.2) from:

    $title = $options[$number]['title'];

    to:

    $title = apply_filters('localization', $options[$number]['title']);

  36. DibujorNo Gravatar says:

    June 28th, 2008 at 3:37 pm

    THANK YOU!. It works like a charm. If you go see my blog, in the sidebar, the sections Subscribe, Link me and Take a look (you should click the union jack flag first of course, as my blog native language is spanish) are made with your plugin after changing that line as you said. And you can see the translation shows perfectly. I have not the abilities to change your amazing work (as you can see by my prior question). Just trying to make my blog FULLY bilingual. The xlanguage plugin is perfect for that matter and, with the adition of your php plugin for some parts, they make a killer combo. If that line doesn’t affect the php plugins inside work when you’re not using the xlanguage I recommend you add it definitely (HelloSam claims so but, as I’m not a php master…I don’t know. Hellosam proposes to define that function as a standard for the widget and translation plugins. This way every plugin developer can add the funtion to their work and users can localize that plugins without touching the code.

    Anyway, I must thank you again, and again……..thank you so much

    1. Go to your admin console (/wp-admin)
    2. Go to Settings
    3. Select the Samsarin PHP Widget tab

    Now you can choose either “reset all”, which will erase all of the Samsarin widgets, or you can choose a specific widget to delete from the drop down.

    Is there some call I have to make first or something?

  62. Chris PettittNo Gravatar says:

    March 3rd, 2009 at 7:26 pm

    @Scott Somehow I missed your comment, but saw your tweet on twitter. You shouldn’t need to do anything special to use the plugin. I tested the Alex King articles plugin on WP 2.7.0 with the Samsarin PHP widget successfully (inserting <?php aka_show_articles(); ?>). I was also able to get the plugin working with Thematic.

    Assuming you’re testing in a staging environment, what happens if you put <?php phpinfo(); ?> in the widget? Does it still display nothing? Also, what happens if you put something like this in the widget:

    BEFORE
<?php aka_show_articles(); ?>
AFTER

    The fact that no error is getting displayed makes this a little trickier, but these two tests may give us more insight into the problem.

  63. Scott AllenNo Gravatar says:

    March 3rd, 2009 at 10:34 pm

    Go figure. I uninstalled and reinstalled the plugins, and now at least the Alex King Articles plugin works. Needs tweaking to look like I want it to, but it’s a starting point. I swear it wasn’t working yesterday after several attempts.

    The Featured Post plugin isn’t working, but never mind. And Those Were the Days works partially, but it’s its own widget, so I’ll take it up with the author.

    Thanks so much for your help, Chris.

    I have tried three different php code excution widgets and can’t get any of them to process a case or if statment properly. I am sure that it is something I am doing wrong but I can figure it out.

    I am try to select an image based on the post number.

    <img src=”/wp-content/image/sidebar_img_.jpg>

    if the value of the_ID() is 1 I get 11. It seems that the default option is always echoed.

    If I remove the default value, I get the correct value for the current page and I get the correct image name, but I would like to be able set the default value.

    I have also tried changing this to an if statement and have the same problem.

    I don’t get it. php can’t be this hard.

    @David

    the_ID() doesn’t return the id but prints it straight out to the page (see http://tr.im/i8VZ). You probably want to use $post->ID (see http://tr.im/i8WJ for examples). Also, this requires you to be in the loop, which wouldn’t be available in the sidebar. If you’re on a single page, you could save the value in a global variable and use it from the sidebar.

    Hi there. Love the widget but have one question. I want to hide your Samsarin PHP widget on certain pages. Widget Logic doesn’t work with your widget. Is there code for hiding/showing Samsarin PHP widget on particular pages? I know what the conditional statements should be, but not the “hide/show” or “visible/invisible” statement. (I saw something about register/unregister, but would like an alternative. That seems too dramatic.)

    Thanks.

    Hello, thank you very much for the plugin!

    I’m trying to order posts in a list by meta_value (because I want to use another order than chronological) in the sidebar with it. The meta_key is called “Order”. I’ve entered this:

    =”);
    //Reset Query
    wp_reset_query();
    ?>

    But I guess it won’t work because it’s not in the loop? Does anyone know how I can code this? Maybe show me a forum where I can get an answer? Thanks!! :)

    It looks like the new scheme requires a rewrite of the plugin. I’ll work on a 2.0 version that will be compatible with WP 2.8+ but will no longer work all the way back to WP 2.1. The benefit is that the plugin will look and act more like more modern widgets.

    I expect to have the new version done this weekend.

    Hello Chris,

    I have been using your Samsarin WP plugin for over a year. It was working pefectly until I upgraded to WordPress 2.8.

    Now, I can’t get additional Samsarin widgets to appear at the Widgets Dashboard after the upgrade to WP 2.8.

    I hope that you can have your revised plugin published soon because I have some php scripts that need your invaluable Plugin.

    Thank you for this wonderful plugin that you have conceived.

    Windy

    Nice! Cant wait. I really love your plugin but i need to have more than one, and i just upgraded to 2.8 :-)

    Will it be upgradable from the admim inteface or do we need to manually DL and install the new one?

    First, thanks for this great plug-in.

    Second, I just upgraded to Wordpress 2.8.2 and discovered that I cannot get new instances of the widget to show up in the available widgets area. Is anyone having a similar problem?

    Thanks,

    Got it working right away with 2.8.4

    It helped me get around a problem using the Custom Widgets plugin which allows widgets to show on certain pages.

    I needed to show a PLUGIN on certain pages and Samsarin allowed me to effectively call the plugin php code as a widget thus allowing me to use it with the Custom Widget plugin - phew!

    Hope that makes sense and thank you!

    Hello,

    Great plugin.

    Anyone found a way to use shortcodes with this plugin? my shortcodes work with all other widgets, except this one. You can see for yourself on the sidebar of http://shipkifarm.com/dev. The last widget “image of the week” is powered by Samsarin.

    Many thanks!

    I have installed your widget it does exactly what it says it does, but I have one small problem I can only see one copy in my widget section of my admin page in wordpress. I have selected more copies and saved but they still do not appear. What am I doing wrong.
