A custom plugin that will display dynamic text from the values you enter in special custom fields on a post inside of a WordPress Widget.
== Description ==
A custom plugin that will display dynamic text from the values you enter in special custom fields on a post inside of a WordPress Widget.
Add any text you want as the value of the 'posty' custom field and it will show up in this widget. Title the widget with the 'posty-title' custom field. It only works on single posts.
== Installation ==
1. Download the posty-widget.zip file, unzip and upload the whole directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
1. Drag the widget to your theme using WP-Admin.
1. Create a custom field on a post with the name of 'posty-title' and a value of your choosing (text only). This will be the Widget's title.
1. Create a custom field on a post or page with the name of 'posty' and a value of your choosing (can include HTML if you want). This will be the body of the Widget.
1. Visit the page and regal in your posty-widget gloriousness.
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Why Would I Want This? =
If you would like to create a widget from custom field text, this plugin is probably about the simplest way to do just that.
= Does it support multiple instances of the Widget? =
Not yet. However, it was designed to place the widget in the same place on different pages, and then use the custom field values to change it dynamically, depending on which post you were looking at.
= Which Custom Field values does the plugin respond to? =
Only 'posty' and 'posty-title'. The value of 'posty-title' will be used to title the widget, and the value of 'posty' will be used as the body. The custom field names should not include the single quotes (obviously).
= I want to help with development of this Plugin! =
The project is now hosted on [github.com](http://github.com/xentek/posty-widget). Just fork the project and send me a pull request.
