Registering Additional Customized Widgets

[Brad]

I followed the “How to completely Customize Widgets (https://theeventscalendar.com/how-to-completely-customize-widgets/). Thanks for putting that together. But now I want another widget and I cannot get it to register.

I am doing this because I want to have some more control over featuring different event categories and highlighting (read CSS).

When I have all the files created (functions.php, includes, display). It is now showing up. Is this the line in functions.php that I am having trouble with?

register_widget( ‘CustomTribeEventsFeatureWidget’,’CustomWidget02′ );

Thanks.

Hey Brad. Thanks for the note here; not sure how to address this myself, but let me see if our dev Jonah – who wrote that tut – has any suggestions. I’ll get him to chime in directly.

Hi Brad, if you want to create another widget you cannot use the same widget class you declared before – you need a new one. So ‘CustomTribeEventsFeatureWidget2′ and then register_widget( ‘CustomTribeEventsFeatureWidget2’,’CustomWidget02’ );

That should work. Let me know if not.
