I notice that they’ve incorporated it into Wordpress without attribution. Sigh.

For reference… this has found its way into the wordpress core for 2.8! (see trac ticket: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8441)

Congrats!

Alex,

Thanks for the work you've done encapsulating this functionality. I've been playing with this and I think I'm just about there. However, I'm getting a 500 internal error, believing the cause to be that wp or php can't find the MultiWidget class. Where is the multiwidget.php file supposed to go? I currently have it in the includes folder.

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Christian not just what alex has mentioned, also make sure you set you FTP client to binary mode as a measure.

Christian - you have probably got stray whitespace outside of your and ?> tags. They must be at the very start and the very end of each file.

Thanks for the script! I implemented my extended pages widget in multi in 5 minutes and it works very well.
The only problem I found is a

PHP Warning:  Cannot modify header information -headers already sent by
(output started at wp-content/plugins/multi-pages-extended/multi_pages_extended.php:515)
in wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 850

On the row 515 I simply declare: $pages_extended_multi = new PagesExtendedWidget();
 and as I am not a PHP expert, I don't understand the problem

This script creates a wrong data type error in some cases, due to the second argument in: if( !in_array( $this->id_base.'-'.$number, $_POST['widget-id'] ) )
 , which is within the control_callback function. This happens when removing a multi-widget in WordPress 2.7. 

I'm not sure if $_POST['widget-id'] would ever be an array. I patched my copy by adding (array) before $_POST['widget-id'] to force it to be an array. 

Anyway, thanks for the script... it does make multi-widget creating easier.

Oh man… that is one elegant solution. Thank you so much for sharing your work! It has saved me a bunch of time.

Thanks very much for this class. I’ve refactored our Author Avatars Plugin to use this class, it works very nicely and makes creating multi-widgets so much easier… 

I overwrote one method (get_field_id) to clean up the id used on my the html form elements and remove any invalid characters (see http://ec3.pastebin.com/f566bdda2). Maybe that’s something that you’d want to add to your base class…?
