[Suggestion] Hook to customize sidebar params

    Hi!

    Maybe be useful if there was a hook to allow theme developers to customize the sidebar output without using default plugin system.

    This could be made adding the following to line 81:

    register_sidebar( apply_filters('custom_sidebars_params', $sidebar) );

    And these two lines at addMetaBox() top, to allow users remove the metabox added automatically by the plugin:

    if(defined('CUSTOM_SIDEBAR_DISABLE_METABOXES'))
	return;

    Are two simple updates that can turn it more developer-friendly, it’s possible merge it in main code?

    Kind Regards,
    Rafael Angeline

    Hi @rafael,

    Thanks for your great suggestions! Sorry for the delay here but I’ve asked the developers to have a look into this, sounds like a great thing to implement. 🙂

    We can’t give an ETA on this, but a task has been created for the developers to look into.

    Thanks!
    David

    Hey David!

    Not a big deal, actually, as you can see is just a few lines that already allow the developers customize a little more the plugin.

    – The first line can be used to modify params like before_widget, after_widget and other using a filter

    – The second allow the devs disable the metabox from the plugin

    Probably only a few will use these options, but is great allow this kind of thing, since this plugin saved me a lot of time and avoid a custom theme solution.

    Thank you for your time! I really appreciate! 🙂

    Kind Regards,
    Rafael
