widgitizing Page Category Plus

Hello, is it simple to widgitize the Page Category Plus? Which functions must I call?
I am using Page Category Plus and this allows me to use wordpress as a CMS.
I will be using several sidebars and need them to display different options (links to other pages), and for that I use Page Category Plus.
Exec-PHP plugin which allows me to make use of PHP code in pages, posts, and text widgets.
At the moment the solution I have found is to use text widgets in my sidebar and call the pcp_list_pages_by_category() function from there.
This is ok for me, once I know a bit on PHP and HTML, but I am developing this site to be administrated by any person who knows few or nothing on coding. So if there is a way to control Page Category Plus by using it as a widget, this would be just great.
Is this reasonable and can be achieved?
Best regards and thanks you for you great plugin.

I'm sure it's fairly easy to do and straightforward as well. I wont, myself, be able to look at this for some time however.

Hey, thanks for your repply.

Is it asking too much if I ask you to let me know which function(s) must I call in order to have the widget working and allow the users (admin) to control the plugin options from the widget menu area?

If is simple please just let me know which functions I must call and I will try to widitize the plugin and send back to you so you can put it available to other users, if u like.


best regards

Hello,

I think I just found the solution I was looking for.

There is a plugin named NAVT Plugin that does it all. Is quite good in fact and work just fine. This way I will not need Page Category Plus Plugin.

here you can find it:

I hope you have good vacations.

Best regards

Diogo
