I’m trying to setup the Widget plugin by wiredesignz at http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/109584/P20 but I keep getting the error. I am pretty sure I have everything setup as directed in the thread, but I’m getting the following when I try <?php widget::run("test"); ?> in my view:
class Test extends Widget { function run() { echo "test"; } }
Fatal error: Class 'Test' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\test\application\helpers\widget_helper.php on line 52
The only thing I can think of that is different about my install is that I’m using Phil Sturgeon’s template library.
Here is how I have everything structured:
/application/helpers/widget_helper.php
<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Test extends Widget {
function run() {
echo "test";
}
}
/application/views/layouts/public.php
<?php widget::run("test"); ?>
Any idea how I can get this working? Is this just outdated?
I’ve been searching for a better solution to do Widgets but I can’t seem to find any. I just need to be able to control what appears on the site sidebar on a page-by-page basis. Are there any alternative methods?
