I hate answering my own question, but hopefully this can help someone else with similar issues: WordPress uses Iris color picker. http://automattic.github.io/Iris/# WordPress also creates a jquery widget with default settings for Iris.

Its the camel-case in the widget ID. The following works: add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘ditto_register_sidebars’ ); function ditto_register_sidebars() { register_sidebar(array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Right Hand Sidebar’ ), ‘id’ => ‘right-bar’, ‘description’ => __( ‘Widgets in this area will be shown on the right-hand side.’ ) )); } Per the Codex: id – Sidebar id – Must be … Read more
There actually are several ways to handle the WordPress editor wrapping shortcodes in <p> tags. This code shows probably the simplest way to do it…just a simple and short function you need to drop into your functions.php file. Once you do, no more tags around your shortcodes that are on their own line! function wpex_clean_shortcodes($content){ … Read more
Short answer: Because there is a hidden widget where the TinyMCE appears first. Long answer (sorry, a very long answer): Go to the Codex and copy the example widget Foo_Widget to make sure we are talking about the same code. Now open your IDE (not an editor) and write a short testing widget as plugin. … Read more
Let’s face it in detail: The registered sidebar (with the ID left-sidebar) has two arguments to wrap the whole widget (before_widget and after_widget) which you can output via echo $before_widget and echo $after_widget in your widget (see my version below): <?php // Register sidebar if (function_exists(‘register_sidebar’)) { register_sidebar( array( ‘name’ => ‘Left Sidebar’, ‘id’ => … Read more
You’d want too look into the following actions and filters: in_widget_form – To add stuff to an existing form. widget_update_callback – To save the content of your new form. widget_display_callback – To add output to the existing output. With a bit of searching in the forums and on Google you’ll find lots of help, but … Read more
You have a couple options as I see it: There’s a the_widget() template tag that lets you control the before_widget and after_widget properties. However, it divorces the widget from the Widgets UI. Alternately, you can try to accomplish whatever you’re trying to do via CSS. If you change your before_widget line to this: ‘before_widget’ => … Read more
I would create a Custom Post Type for Videos, and use in conjunction with some plugin like Simple Video Embed From there you can make a list of videos like so: <?php query_posts(‘post_type= videoss’,’showposts=20′); ?> <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <div class=”vidoes” > <?php echo p75GetVideo($post->ID, 400); ?> <h5><?php the_title(); ?></h5> … Read more
As said I think it’s quite hard to find a reliable solution because you have to take care of so many things. I go either for the way proposed by Danny van Kooten: http://dannyvankooten.com/450/tinymce-wysiwyg-editor-in-wordpress-plugin/ add and open the editor in a thickbox or another way I’ve used once, using the widget “accessibility mode” for “advanced” … Read more
