Extending the widgets

  • Hello,
    I’m looking to do deep integration into my theme with this plugin, and in the button widget I would like to make font size extra large even larger to fit in with my theme

    I’m making a plugin that would extend this plugin but there doesn’t seem to be any hooks I narrowed my search to the SiteOrigin_Widget_Button_Widget class and can see the variables being set inside the constructor but that’s not something I don’t think I can easily override (due to plugin load order).

    Is it viable to extend the class and reimplement the constructor and somehow turn off the SiteOrigin_widget_button_widget class in favour of my extended version? Or is there a easier way of doing this?

    Hi

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Our Page Builder and Widget Bundle docs are a work in progress. Here is what we have so far:

    Page Builder:
    https://siteorigin.com/docs/page-builder/

    Widgets Bundle:
    https://siteorigin.com/docs/widgets-bundle/

    I’m not 100% certain the best way to implement this. I’ve asked our lead developer on this, @braam-genis, to drop a reply when he has a moment.

    Hi slifin

    There are a few ways you could go about doing this, depending on your needs. One way, which I think is the simplest for your case, is to simply copy and rename the button widget (use this as a guide). Once you have your copy of the button widget you can change the font size options (and other form options) to whatever you’d like them to be.

    I’ll look into making our widgets more extensible in the future, so that developers may more easily use and adapt existing widgets for their own needs.

    This is great. Any thoughts on getting this working in a theme instead of a plugin? Been trying but cannot get the siteorigin_widgets_widget_folders filter to see this when its included in my theme.
