Hi, I'm pretty confident with making my own themes but haven't done any delopment yet, however:

I have a need for a widget that doesn't seem to exist yet. Basically a sidebar widget that displays a numbered list of 10 songs (a playlist) that link to purchase those tracks on itunes or whatever.

I want to make a widget that, when you are on the dashboard widgets page, there are 20 input boxes: 10x song names and 10x the URL of where you can buy. This is basically to simplify the things for the customer using the site.

I've managed to get a widget template and have it so you can change the title (but that's it). It currently displays a numbered list, but only because I echo the html for that in the code - it's not created from the widgets page at all.

Can someone tell me, or point me to a guide which says, how to create input boxes and formatting inside the widget options section in the dahsboard, which will then style that info and output it to the widget...

Bit of a long request for a (hopefully) simple thing...

Thanks

MC
