Not working with Breakdance builder

Hi Bradley,

I did a quick search and didn’t see anything in the documentation calling out how to use classic widgets.

Would it be possible to send us a link to download the Breakdance plugin through the Private Information? Perhaps if I can see how the plugin functions, I’ll be able to see how the classic widgets work.

 

Hi Bradley,

Looking at the Breakdance plugin’s code it turns out that widgets can be supported by the builder but they must be custom registered with Breakdance.

Here is an example of adding the “Advanced Sidebar – Pages” widget to the supported widgets.

\Breakdance\WPWidgets\register( [ 'slug' => Page::NAME, 'name' => 'Advanced Sidebar - Pages', 'className' => Page::class, 'category' => 'wp_general', 'controls' => [ \Breakdance\Elements\control( 'title', 'Title', [ 'type' => 'text' ] ), ], ] );

The process of registering a widget is fairly straight forward, however registering the widget fields is complex.

• If you would like to use a few simple fields from the Advanced Sidebar widgets, our support can write the custom code for you.
• Full support of all widget fields would be an extensive project which would likely result in making an add on plugin.
