Widget Customizing Issue with Replaced Widgets for before_title and after title

    Using the function.php, I am having an issue with the before_title and after_title not being recognized for custom widget defined in function.php which replaces the default widget. When using default widget, it’s tags set in function.php function as expected. The before_widget and after_widget function properly with both default and customized widgets.

    The code below in case I am missing anything or this is a bug. Any ideas?

    To customize widget coding for before/after tags as found in function.php prior to customized widgets:

    <?php
	if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
		register_sidebar(array(
			'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="sideblock?%2$s">',
			'after_widget' => '</div>',
			'before_title' => '<h3>',
			'after_title' => '</h3>',
		));
	?>

    To replace the default Search Widget found in function.php after the above code:

    <?php
function widget_mytheme_search() {
?>
	<?php echo $before_widget; ?>
		<?php echo $before_title . 'Search' . $after_title; ?>
		customized code here
	<?php echo $after_widget; ?>
<?php
}
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar_widget') )
	register_sidebar_widget(__('Search'), 'widget_mytheme_search');
?>

    Correction: the before_widget and after widgets are not working either for customized widgets overwriting defaults.

    Source of code in question for rendered page:

    Search
<div id="categories-3" class="sideblock?widget_categories"><h3>Categories</h3>		<ul>cut code</ul>
</div>

    Figured it out. Adding optional name and id variables fixed it:

    <?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
	register_sidebar(array(
		'name' => '%1$s',
		'id' => 'sidebar-%1$s',
		'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="sideblock?%2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '</div>',
		'before_title' => '<h3>',
		'after_title' => '</h3>',
	));
?>
