I just released version 0.06. There are two New features:

1. Quick code generator

I tried to make something available to users that are not ready to sign-up for an account yet. I hope it enough for them to get more interested and not just dismiss it as to very simple tool.

2. WordPress 2.8 code generator option

WordPress 2.8 is adding a whole new way of supporting widgets with the new WP_Widget class. I’ve took a stab at creating a generator for this way of doing things as well. That’s one of the great things about having a generator like this is that now you can generate your Widget in both ways. You don’t have to figure out each way.

I’m still having a tough time getting the details of what the WordPress code wants from a plugin. For example here’s the notes for parameters to the constructor of the WP_Widget class.

var $id_base;       // Root id for all widgets of this type.
var $name;          // Name for this widget type.

What is a widget type exactly? What do you want it to be? What name space is it in?

I guess this is why I created this service in the first place. If was easy to figure out than I wouldn’t have wanted to create a tool that lets me easily take care of all the details from me. All I have to do is figure it all out once. And for you it should just work.

Plus few other tweaks where added here and there in these release.
