How to show multiple instances of the WP125 Widget?

Question

I have multiple sidebars, based on different pages. How can I get the WP125 widget to show on all of them?? Once I add it to one sidebar, it is unavailable to put on others (like many other widgets by the way).

Just to clarify, just multiple instances of the widget with the same content. In other words, the same widget but on more than one page (with different sidebars)

Below the registration function:

//Create Widget
function wp125_create_ad_widget() {
        register_sidebar_widget(__('WP125'), 'wp125_write_ads_widget');
}

Below the line I added to see if another widget is created in the widget area:

        register_sidebar_widget(__('WP125-2'), 'wp125_write_ads_widget'); //nothing happens with this line added.

The rest of the wp125.php file:

function wp125_write_ads_widget($args) {
        extract($args);
        echo $before_widget;
        if (get_option("wp125_widget_title")!='') {
                echo "\n".$before_title; echo get_option("wp125_widget_title"); echo $after_title;
        }
        wp125_write_ads();
        echo $after_widget;
}

Answer 1

You have two options:

Create the widget yourself with the "new" widget api as a class an it will be multiple instance widget.

Or find the line that registers the widget and register the same widget with a new name for example find:

register_sidebar_widget(array('Content License', 'widgets'), 'widget_cc');

and replace with:

register_sidebar_widget(array('Content License 1', 'widgets'), 'widget_cc');
register_sidebar_widget(array('Content License 2', 'widgets'), 'widget_cc');
register_sidebar_widget(array('Content License 3', 'widgets'), 'widget_cc');
register_sidebar_widget(array('Content License 4', 'widgets'), 'widget_cc');

Answer 2

//Create Widget
function wp125_create_ad_widget() {
register_sidebar_widget(__('WP125'), 'wp125_write_ads_widget');
}

replace the above function with the below function,

//Create Widget
function wp125_create_ad_widget() {
wp_register_sidebar_widget(__('WP125 1'),'WP125', 'wp125_write_ads_widget');
wp_register_sidebar_widget(__('WP125 2'),'WP125', 'wp125_write_ads_widget');
}

its work for me, wish its help you.
