Question

I have created a custom widget and I want to load an instance of it in a phtml template file.

How can I load my Widget by “Widget ID” or “Widget Instance Title” ??

Thanks a lot.

You can also call it programmatically in the template file like this:

Mage::app()->getLayout()->createBlock(‘catalog/product_widget_new’, null, array(‘products_count’=>5, ‘template’=>’catalog/product/widget/new/content/new_list.phtml’))->toHtml();

Ofcourse you need to replace the variables with your own.
