Any way to insert content from a widget field into a template?
-
I have a custom widget created where one of the fields is a full telephone number. It’s use is a call to action widget for the sidebar (e.g. enter the number, some text, a button URL, etc.). Is there any way to grab the content from this field (if it’s populated in the widget) and add it somewhere to a template? I want to add a phone number to the footer but instead of hardcoding it in the footer, I thought it’d be nice if it could just grab the number already entered in the call to action widget. Is this doable? Thanks.
Here’s my widget code:
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'sidebarctawidget' ); function sidebarctawidget() { register_widget( 'sidebarctawidget' ); } class sidebarctawidget extends WP_Widget { function sidebarctawidget() { $widget_ops = array( 'classname' => 'sidebarctawidget', 'description' => __('A widget for the sidebar call to actions ', 'sidebarctawidget') ); $control_ops = array( 'width' => 300, 'height' => 350, 'id_base' => 'sidebarctawidget' ); $this->WP_Widget( 'sidebarctawidget', __('Sidebar Call to Action', 'sidebarctawidget'), $widget_ops, $control_ops ); } function widget( $args, $instance ) { extract( $args ); //Our variables from the widget settings. $title = apply_filters('widget_title', $instance['title'] ); $text = $instance['text']; $prefix = $instance['prefix']; $number = $instance['number']; $fullnumber = $instance['fullnumber']; $url = $instance['url']; echo $before_widget; echo '<div class="sidebarcta">'; // Display the title if ( $title ) echo $before_title . $title . $after_title; //Display the text if ( $text ) printf( '<p class="text">' . __('%1$s', 'sidebarctawidget') . '</p>', $text ); //Display the text if ( $prefix ) printf( '<span class="prefix">' . __('%1$s-', 'sidebarctawidget') . '</span>', $prefix ); //Display the text if ( $number ) printf( '<span class="number">' . __('%1$s', 'sidebarctawidget') . '</span>', $number ); //Display the text if ( $fullnumber ) printf( '<p class="fullnumber">' . __('(%1$s)', 'sidebarctawidget') . '</p>', $fullnumber ); //Display the button and URL if ( $url ) printf( '<a class="button" href="%1$s">' . __('Learn More', 'sidebarctawidget') . '</a>', $url ); echo '</div>'; echo $after_widget; } //Update the widget function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) { $instance = $old_instance; //Strip tags from title and name to remove HTML $instance['title'] = strip_tags( $new_instance['title'] ); $instance['text'] = strip_tags( $new_instance['text'] ); $instance['prefix'] = strip_tags( $new_instance['prefix'] ); $instance['number'] = strip_tags( $new_instance['number'] ); $instance['fullnumber'] = strip_tags( $new_instance['fullnumber'] ); $instance['url'] = strip_tags( $new_instance['url'] ); return $instance; } function form( $instance ) { //Set up some default widget settings. $defaults = array( 'title' => __('Get Connected TODAY!', 'sidebarctawidget') ); $instance = wp_parse_args( (array) $instance, $defaults ); ?> <p> <label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'title' ); ?>" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><?php _e('Title:', 'sidebarctawidget'); ?></label> <input id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'title' ); ?>" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name( 'title' ); ?>" value="<?php echo $instance['title']; ?>" style="width:97%; border: 1px solid #dfdfdf; -webkit-border-radius: 3px; border-radius: 3px;" /> </p> <p> <label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'text' ); ?>" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><?php _e('Text:', 'sidebarctawidget'); ?></label> <input id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'text' ); ?>" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name( 'text' ); ?>" value="<?php echo $instance['text']; ?>" style="width:97%; border: 1px solid #dfdfdf; -webkit-border-radius: 3px; border-radius: 3px;" /> </p> <p style="float: left;"> <label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'prefix' ); ?>" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><?php _e('Telephone Prefix:', 'sidebarctawidget'); ?></label> <input id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'prefix' ); ?>" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name( 'prefix' ); ?>" value="<?php echo $instance['prefix']; ?>" style="width:50%; border: 1px solid #dfdfdf; -webkit-border-radius: 3px; border-radius: 3px; display: block;" /> </p> <p> <label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'number' ); ?>" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><?php _e('Telephone Number:', 'sidebarctawidget'); ?></label> <input id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'number' ); ?>" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name( 'number' ); ?>" value="<?php echo $instance['number']; ?>" style="width:50%; border: 1px solid #dfdfdf; -webkit-border-radius: 3px; border-radius: 3px;" /> </p> <p> <label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'fullnumber' ); ?>" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><?php _e('Full Number:', 'sidebarctawidget'); ?></label> <input id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'fullnumber' ); ?>" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name( 'fullnumber' ); ?>" value="<?php echo $instance['fullnumber']; ?>" style="width:97%; border: 1px solid #dfdfdf; -webkit-border-radius: 3px; border-radius: 3px;" /> </p> <p> <label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'url' ); ?>" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><?php _e('Button URL:', 'sidebarctawidget'); ?></label> <input id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id( 'url' ); ?>" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name( 'url' ); ?>" value="<?php echo $instance['url']; ?>" style="width:97%; border: 1px solid #dfdfdf; -webkit-border-radius: 3px; border-radius: 3px;" /> </p> <?php } }
