Installation & Usage

1. Download and extract the files to your Q2A plugins folder (e.g. qa-plugin/widget-anywhere). Check the releases page for the latest official version.

2. If your site uses a different language, copy qa-wa-lang-default.php to a new file with the required country code (e.g. qa-wa-lang-de.php for German) and edit the phrases for your language.

3. In Q2A go to Admin > Plugins, enable the plugin and run the database initialization.

4. In the plugin options, click 'Add new widget' to create a module. Enter a title (this is for your reference and is not displayed on the front-end), the position, pages to appear on, ordering (relative to other WA modules) and the HTML content. Anything is allowed, including scripts.

5. To edit a module, click the appropriate link from the plugin options. Make the required changes and save. To delete a module, go to its edit page, tick the "Delete widget" checkbox and save.

Widgets can be added on custom pages: tick 'Show on custom page(s)' and enter the page slugs (URL fragments) in the field. Also note that certain positions (e.g. 'After question text') are not available on all pages.

Make sure the HTML syntax is correct before saving! If you are missing closing tags (especially for <script> and <style>) you may end up making your site unusable. If this happens you'll need to edit the database manually (the qa_widgetanyw table) to fix the HTML.
