[Resolved] Advice: How-To (dynamic widget)

[Tom]

Okay,
This MAY be beyond basic capabilities.

I have a CPT (boats) with widgets on the right side.
I would like a dynamic widget that lists the salesman associated with a particular boat.
I would also like a button that downloads a PDF OFF the boat on the CPT.

I realize I can design a full width page with two columns – but that defeats the widget set-up. (And would like to learn the proper way to do it anyway – if there is one that does not involve editing any templates.)

Is this even possible to do:
1 – create a dynamic widget (in the widget area)
2 – that is associated with a particular CPT?
-> Specific sales person
-> Button to specific model’s flyer

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Tom,

I would say that in theory, anything is possible with a custom-coded widget.
I believe your requirements wouldn’t be super complicated but can’t say for sure.

If this is a required feature for your site, then your best option would likely be hiring a developer using a service like Codeable suggested at the bottom of this article:

Hope this provides some insight 🙂

Absolutely not required. Just thought I’d ask to make sure I wasn’t missing something (as I learn).
