How to create custom widget layout
To add new widget layout, you need to override widget configuration.php and template.php files. We will use widget "separator" as an example and add new layout "custom" to it. In the same way you can add any number of layouts to all widgets.
Step 1 / 2 - override widget configuration file
Copy file config.php from ip_cms/modules/standard/content_management/widgets/text_photos/separator/ to ip_configs/standard/content_management/widgets/text_photos/separator/.
Add new line:
<?php
$layouts[] = array('translation'=>'Custom', 'name'=>'custom');
?>
Now you should see new layout in layout select box.
Step 2 / 2 - customize template
Now we need to customize the look of new layout. Duplicate template.php file from ip_cms/modules/standard/content_management/widgets/text_photos/separator/ to ip_themes/ip_default/modules/standard/content_management/widgets/text_photos/separator/.
Modify your new template.php file to support new layout. Add these lines to your new template.php file:
<?php case "custom": return "\n".'<div class="ipWidget ipWidgetSeparator ipWidgetSeparatorCustom">---Custom HTML---</div>'."\n"; break; ?>
If you change something in ip_themes/ip_default/modules/standard/content_management/widgets/text_photos/separator/template.php your changes will be visible on public website after you clear the cache or resave the page.
