Widget Titles

After further investigation it seems that when you have 2 of the same widget the 2 widgets will have the same title however 2 different widget types eg. 1 Text and 1 Categories don’t have the problem.

Any advice?

Same problem here.
Anyone?

Thanks

Hi Kenan,

I have solved this problem by rewriting some of the code in the block at lines 86 – 102.

Replacing the existing code with this worked for me:

foreach($dws_widgets as $id)
		{
			//Gets widgets unique number
			$widgetnumber = $wp_registered_widgets[$id]["params"][0]["number"];

			//Check if the required data is set

			if( isset($wp_registered_widgets[$id]) && isset($wp_registered_widgets[$id]["callback"]) && isset($wp_registered_widgets[$id]["callback"][0]) && $wp_registered_widgets[$id]["params"][0]["number"] == $widgetnumber)
			{
				//Get widgets settings

				$widget = $wp_registered_widgets[$id]["callback"][0]->get_settings();
				//set Titles
				if($widget[$widgetnumber]["title"]=='') {
					$title = " ";
				} else {
					$title = $widget[$widgetnumber]["title"];
				}

What that’s doing is getting the widgets unique ID from the parameters and pulling the title using that. The code then checks if the title is empty and sets a blank title rather borking itself!

Not sure if that is the cleanest way to do it but it seems to run ok.

Hope that helps!

Hi guys,

Sorry for not replying sooner.

Great that you found a solution for this, Nik. Thanks!

I have included the fix in the latest release, along with some new features for placement of the widgets on the dashboard.

For more information, see the changelog: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/dashboard-widget-sidebar/changelog/

If the issue somehow is not fixed with the new release (version 1.1.0), please let me know.

Once again, thank you for fixing the bug, Nik.

Best regards

Thanks Morten and thanks again for the credit!

Awesome plugin! I use it on every site I build. Very handy!
Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the fix, it definitely helped with the naming of the titles. I see the dropdown selector for priority level but I am unable to save my selection.

Suggestions?
