modification to add per page widgets to custom post types

  • if you edit the main plugin file i123_per_page_widgets.php line 196

    Change the function i123_widgets_custom_fields_add() as below and the widgets chooser will show up in your custom post types as well.

    [ Moderator Note: Please post code or markup snippets between backticks or use the code button. ]

    function i123_widgets_custom_fields_add() {
    i123_widgets_admin_init();
    add_meta_box( 'i123_widgets_custom_fields', __('Per Page Widgets', 'i123_widgets'), 'i123_widgets_custom_fields_controllbox', 'post', 'side', 'high' );
    add_meta_box( 'i123_widgets_custom_fields', __('Per Page Widgets', 'i123_widgets'), 'i123_widgets_custom_fields_controllbox', 'page', 'side', 'high' );
	$args=array(
		'public' => true,
		'_builtin' => false
	);
	$operator = "and"; //'and or 'or'
	$output = "names"; //names or objects - names is default
	$post_types = get_post_types($args,$output,$operator);
	foreach($post_types as $post_type) {
		add_meta_box( 'i123_widgets_custom_fields', __('Per Page Widgets', 'i123_widgets'), 'i123_widgets_custom_fields_controllbox', $post_type, 'side', 'high' );

  • This is the right idea, but there is a better approach.

    Instead of editing the plugin file, use the WordPress action hook add_meta_boxes in your functions.php file or custom plugin. This way the boxes get added and you won’t run into upgrade issues on the plugin.

    Here’s the adapted implementation:

    function my_custom_meta_boxes( $post_type, $post ) {
	$args = array(
		'public' => true,
		'_builtin' => false
	);
	$operator = "and"; //'and or 'or'
	$output = "names"; //names or objects - names is default
	$post_types = get_post_types($args,$output,$operator);

	foreach($post_types as $post_type) {
		add_meta_box( 'i123_widgets_custom_fields', __('Per Page Widgets', 'i123_widgets'), 'i123_widgets_custom_fields_controllbox', $post_type, 'side', 'high' );
	}
}

add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'my_custom_meta_boxes', 10, 2 );
