<p>Media2Layout facilitates the dynamic inclusion of media library artwork into predefined places in your site’s theme.  It creates named positions (by default “campaign” and “header”) which can be assigned a media item per each Page.</p>
<ul>
<li>Adds an admin menu item under Themes to edit your Position names</li>
<li>Adds a dropdown control when editing Pages to select the images for each Position in that Page</li>
</ul>
<p>To insert the images into your theme, just add a bit of PHP code to your theme in the appropriate spot, for example:</p>
<pre><code><?php Media2Layout::banner('foo');?> </code></pre>
<p>For the position named “foo” this would print an  tag for the media assigned to the Foo position of the current page (or print nothing if no media is assigned to that position).  Currently it wraps the  in a</p>
<p><</p>
<p>div> with class “media2layout_[position-name]”.</p>

<p><strong>XWidgets lets you choose your widget layouts and settings for each individual page and post, instead of only having one layout applied to the whole site!</strong>  For example, you could have a Twitter feed in your website’s sidebar, but have your ‘about me’ page also display Flickr/Last.FM widgets in that page’s sidebar, with a completely different widget layout from the rest of your site — or you could have each page of your site pull in a different Google News feed via RSS — or you could add a poll to the sidebar of a specific post, without changing any others.</p>
<p>This plugin was developed alongside the PBox plugin. Using the two together greatly simplifies CMS-like layouts and functionality.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Choose widget settings from each indivdual page/post edit screen.</li>
<li>Pages can inherit widgets from their parent.</li>
<li>Pages/posts without widgets can use the global widgets (or if you prefer, none at all).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Tips</h4>
<ul>
<li>Use the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pbox/" rel="ugc">PBox</a> plugin to add highly customizable content widgets to your page sidebars.</li>
<li>Visit <a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/11/25/advanced-power-tips-for-wordpress-template-developers/" rel="nofollow ugc">Smashing Magazine – Advanced Power Tips For WordPress Template Developers</a> for ideas about Multiple Column Content Techniques.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Future Plans</h4>
<ul>
<li>Add widgets to taxonomies (Categories, Tags…)</li>
<li>Improve support for customized post types.</li>
</ul>


XWidgets

Gives you the ability to configure widgets on a per page basis.
