Get widget

You can create and use any existed widget type in your Magento site.

1. In static block or cms page

  {{widget type="cms/widget_page_link" template="cms/widget/link/link_block.phtml" page_id="2"}}

2. In layout

  <block type="cms/widget_page_link" name="widget_page_link" as="widget_page_link" template="cms/widget/link/link_block.phtml">
      <action method="setPageId">
          <value>2</value>
      </action>
  </block>

3. In template (*.phtml)

  
  // 3.1. Default
  echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/widget_page_link')
                         ->setTemplate('cms/widget/link/link_block.phtml')
                         ->setPageId(2)
                         ->toHtml();
  
  
  // 3.2. Use widget template filter model (code same like in static block or cms page)
  $filter = Mage::getModel('widget/template_filter');
  
  echo $filter->filter('{{widget type="cms/widget_page_link" template="cms/widget/link/link_block.phtml" page_id="2"}}');

4. In code (*.php)

Same as in *.phml you just need to create own custom method and return html code of rendered widget.
