This plugin allows authors to select on a page-by-page and entry-by-entry basis, which widgets they wish to appear in the sidebar of their blog (for the given entry or page).

This is accomplished by defining a new custom field type called "Widget Set". When added as a custom field to a page for example, a new form element will appear in the edit page screen that allows the author to select from a list of known widget sets.

The plugin also provides a template tag called <mt:IfWidgetSetExists> that will return true if a named WidgetSet exists and false otherwise.

Installation Instructions

1. Download the WidgetSetCustomField.tar.gz file
2. Unpack the file on your server.
3. Copy the contents of the WidgetSetCustomField folder to your MT home directory. When you are finished, you should have a single file installed in the following directory: /path/to/mt/plugins/WidgetSetCF/WidgetSetCF.pl
4. Done.

You should now have a "Widget Set" custom field type to choose from when creating new custom fields.
