Hello!
I can not figure out how to do this and I have tried googling it and searching this forum a little and it doesn't seem to be a common topic. Can someone please help me out? <3
I want to create basically a clone of the standard columns widget, but add an additional control to select different variations. This will basically make it easier for the client to choose what class to apply to the columns to adjust the padidng/etc. without them needing to reference any documentation.
I do not need the columns widget's features, I just need to be able to add children to the widget and add a class with a select control. It just seemed easiest to start with something that already supports children. I couldn't find anything about adding child elements support to my custom widget (googling this turns up stuff about child templates etc)
I tried to create my own widget and then copy in the register_controls, content_template, before/after_render, add_render_attributes, _get_default_child_type, and get_html_tag from plugins/elementor/includes/elements/column.php. When I load the editor up though I get this error that I can't find on google:
