Multisite remember widgets – Shared widgets – Widget Clipboard

No. I’m saying WP is MultiSite is less than 20% “People who want shared widgets.”

Anyway. If you want to code it, go for it. No one’s stopping you, but the rest of us, who frequent these forums and the mailing lists, don’t see as much a request for it as we do other things that are far higher on the priority list, and far more used.

Your proposal is a good idea, but it doesn’t have enough need yet. Yet.

When Steve Jobs invented the iPhone, 80% or people were complaining about other matters, although he foreseen what we’ll crave for soon.

It’s the logical evolution.

Widgets made grow WordPress.
Multiple sites need branding and common candies, which come in the form of widgets
Most widgets need local info and settings.
It’s a pain to setup widgets in each site.
People will need it ??
I couldn’t code it ??

Men are not potatoes.

However to your analogy, Apple wanted the iPhone, so they made it. You want this, so you’re responsible for making it. WordPress core doesn’t want it right now, so they’re not going to. However if you (or someone else) makes it and soon everyone is using it, they may import it. Which is how Open Source works ??

I know you can’t code it. I can’t either, but I have no desire for it so I’m going to to learn how (which is how and why I learned everything else I’ve coded – want and need).

It’s a pain to setup widgets in each site.

That behavior is not likely to change.

That being said – you have clearly described what it is you;re trying to *do*, just how you think it should be solved. Going by this statement makes me thing you just want to set up some widgets and have them the same on all sites.

Well.. .there ARE plugins that let you set up template sites to clone settings to new blogs.

I tried it. You can’t copy widgets with it.
You modify widgets infinite times more than the times you place them.

It seems the subjet about duplicating sites can’t get out of your hair!
This topic is about widgets.

Punish me in the other discussions about the shared pages.
Oh!! I marked them [solved] after you recommended me “ThreeWP Broadcast”, so the inquisition chased me here :O

Which one did you try? Because you’re referencing one (“it”) and I know there are some availalve where you can set up widgets and it WILL copy those widgets to new sites.

And widget go in sites. Hand in hand.

Good Lord, I am not punishing you nor am I following you around.

I’m a moderator of this forum -I’m doing my job. Which is volunteer. I specialize in multisite and I stick to this forum subsection.

Multisite is for multiple separate sites. If you want so much information to be shared and exactly the same – then multisite is probably not the solution for whatever it is you’re trying to do.

I’m wrestling with the problem of a multisite network I’d like to share a sidebar in myself.

Wondering if it’s somehow possible to override the sidebar call so that it forces it to pull widgets from one specific site on the network?

Russ Gilbert – Yes, but most people hard code it into their theme. Make a new topic, all for yourself, and ask this ??
