I wouldn't recommend bundling plugins in with themes. Technically it is fine, but if the plugin is updated to cope with a new version of WordPress anyone using the theme would be stuck.

I completely agree with your rationale for this plugin. It would make modifying themes and reusing components in different themes a whole lot easier if the theme widgets could be isolated into their own files.

Is there any reason why this couldn't be adapted to the functions.php file that comes with a theme? I'm not quite sure how it might be accomplished in practice but I would love to use the features of the plugin without requiring the users of my theme to load the plugin.

Any pointers on where to begin?

Kevin, that sounds like you are running on PHP 4. I haven't included PHP4 support in this plugin; although, I don't think there is anything in it that wouldn't run on PHP4 except the constructor itself.

If you amend public function __construct(){

to read

function fw_theme_plugins() {

then that might work. I haven't tested it though.

Hi – any reason this plugin might not work with WP 2.7? Getting the following error code when I try to activate it:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /mnt/local/home/fmblogger/floridamortgageblogger.com/wp-content/plugins/fun-with-theme-widgets/fun_with_theme_widgets.php on line 31
