WordPress Widgets allow you to create a custom sidebar, with RSS feeds, del.icio.us links, et cetera.
As of WordPress 2.2 widgets are included in the core code; users of earlier versions can get the Widgets plugin here, along with instructions on how to use it.
Widgets in Tarski
Tarski is set up to work automatically with the Widgets plugin. Just install Tarski, and enjoy your newly customisable (via Presentation > Sidebar Widgets in your administration interface) sidebar.
Creating a Widgets sidebar will replace your existing Tarski sidebar. You can always disable the plugin if you want the old sidebar back.
One more caveat—if you’re planning on having a links list, don’t use the default ‘Links’ Widget that comes with the Widgets plugin. It’ll work, but it’ll look awful.
Luckily for you, we’ve coded a replacement widget. Simply put that code in a file in wp-content/plugins/widgets, activate it in your Plugins pane, and finally select the brand spanking new ‘Tarski Links’ Widget.
Please ensure there are no extra spaces before the opening or after the closing PHP tags (that is, <?php and ?>). Extra spaces in these locations will stop the plugin from being evaluated correctly and will cause errors.
Final Note
We can’t guarantee all Widgets will work out-of-the-box with Tarski, due to the varying ways in which they’re coded. You may need to do some CSS tweaking to get some Widgets to look nice.
