Number of Widgets Instantiated
-
I am having a widget which can be multiple times, and each time the CSS for it differs. I have accomplished it by using a static variable inside the widget class and naming the required HTML elements using that variable. Also I have created a custom PHP which creates the CSS and it is enqueued into
functions.php
. My problem is that I want to know how many of that widget was instantiated. I have tried the following methods:- calling the static variable by the class. But it shows 0.
- making a global variable in
functions.php
, enqueuing it into theinit
hook. Using that global variable in my widgets and then seeing the value of the variable in mycss.php
. Still it returns 0.
I am at a loss!
Here is a bi of code for the second point!functions.php
add_action( 'init', 'trial_declare_globals', 1 ); function trial_declare_globals() { $GLOBALS['tr_widgets_no'] = 0; } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'trial_enqueue_styles' ); function trial_enqueue_styles() { wp_enqueue_style( 'trial-custom-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/trial-custom-css.php' ); }
widgets.php
class trial_widget extends WP_Widget { public static $tr_widgets_no = 0; public function get_tr_widgets_no() { return self::$tr_widgets_no; } public function __construct() { parent::__construct( 'yo-widget', __( 'YO' ) ); } function widget($args, $instance) { extract($args); self::$tr_widgets_no++; $GLOBALS['tr_widgets_no'] = self::$tr_widgets_no;
and so on…
