Samsarin PHP Widget 2.0 Beta 1

I’ve finished writing Samsarin PHP Widget 2.0 Beta 1, which is compatible with Wordpress 2.8. It is a complete rewrite, so I plan to leave it in a beta state for a few weeks while I get feedback. If you do try the beta, please let me know how it goes.

Two important considerations with this plugin:

  • As this is a complete rewrite it is not compatible with older versions of Wordpress. Use the 1.3.2 plugin for older versions.
  • The plugin doesn’t upgrade old Samsarin PHP Widgets - it looks like I may be able to make upgrade possible, but it needs more investigation.

Samsarin PHP Widget 1.3.2

I’ve just posted the latest update to the Samsarin PHP Widget. This version adds the ability to clear out the contents of one or all widgets with the click of a button. It was also qualified with Wordpress 2.5.1 in Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer.

Thanks go to Kris for help in testing this feature.

Samsarin PHP Widget 1.2

This new version of Samsarin PHP Widget increases the number of widgets available from 9 to 25. Enjoy!

Samsarin PHP Widget 1.1

I’ve just posted Samsarin PHP Widget 1.1. If you are using Wordpress 2.2, please upgrade to this version. Wordpress 2.2 introduced an incompatibility in the widget library, which this new version addresses. Thanks to JR and Kathryn for posting comments and helping me locate this issue.

I’ve received numerous requests for the Samsarin PHP Widget, so I am happy to announce that is now available here. This widget makes it easy to add PHP code into the sidebar while using Automattic’s Widget plugin.
