Choose Sidebar

Deprecated in favor of the Sidebar field.

Adds a drop-down field that lists existing sidebars and provides the ability to add new sidebars to the site.

Setup methods

disable_add_new()

Remove the ability to add new sidebars to the site.

set_sidebar_options($sidebar_options)

Set the options used for sidebars created by this field. See register_sidebar() for more information.

This method can accept an associative array of options, or an array of associative arrays with options for each sidebar.

The default options are:

array(
    'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
    'after_widget' => '</li>',
    'before_title' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
    'after_title' => '</h2>',
)

The example below shows how to create a Choose Sidebar field with custom sidebar options and help text:

Field::make("choose_sidebar", "crb_custom_sidebar", __('Sidebar'))
    ->help_text('Select which sidebar to show in this page, or click "Add New" to create a new one')
    ->set_sidebar_options(array(
        'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
        'after_widget' => '</div>',
        'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',
        'after_title' => '<div class="cl">&nbsp;</div></h3>',
    ))

The following example sets different sidebar options for each of the specified sidebars:

Field::make( 'choose_sidebar', 'crb_custom_sidebar', __('Sidebar') )
    ->set_sidebar_options(array(
        'default' => array(
            'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
            'after_widget'  => '</li>',
            'before_title'  => '<h2 class="widget-title">',
            'after_title'   => '</h2>',
        ),
        'blog-sidebar' => array(
            'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
            'after_widget'  => '</div>',
            'before_title'  => '<h4 class="blog-widget-title">',
            'after_title'   => '</h4>',
        )
    ))
