This is small plugin for testing the Advanced Comments Widget. It's meant as a brief overview, outlining ways to extend the widget.

A Quick Overview

  1. Add to the widget $instance via the acw_instance_defaults filter.
  2. Add the field to the widget form via the "acw_form_before_field_{$name}" filter or the "acw_form_after_field_{$name}" filter.
  3. Hook into the Widget_ACW_Recent_Comments::update() method to save the field value.
  4. Hook into the Widget_ACW_Recent_Comments::widget() method to display the field value.
