Based On Post is designed to let users and developers make use of their Theme's sidebars by enabling dynamic content that can be changed by post.

== Description ==

Have you ever wanted to display content on your Wordpress sidebar, but not have it be the same content across your entire site?
How about displaying an image gallery for each individual post on the sidebar? Or having information specific to the
subject of that particular post displayed?

Based On Post let's you do just that. This simple, but extremely useful Wordpress plugin is designed to let you place a widget on a single sidebar of
your wordpress blog, (in the furture, multiple sidebars will be supported), and for each post or page, specify the text or HTML code that is to go in the widget. The input box for the data
is on the Post or Page writing screen.

Features  

1. Display arbitrary information based on the page that the visitors view, instead of the same content throughout your site.  

2. Use Post title as the widget title, or use your own custom title.  

3. Use HTML, Plain Text, even scripts and shortcodes in the widget!  


Options  

* You will find the option for using the Post Title as the Widget Title in the widget box when you add it to your sidebar.

== Installation ==

1. Download the zip file from the wordpress repository  

2. Upload the folder 'based-on-post' to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory  

* Alternativly to 1 and 2, add the plugin through wordpress itself.  

3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress  

4. Go to your 'Widgets' Menu, and place the 'Based On Post' widget in the sidebar where you would like your content to appear  

5. Go to any Post or Page, or create a new one, and find the newly added 'Based On Post' Section. (It may be hidden at first,
to make it visible, click 'Screen Options' at the top, and ensure 'Based on Post' is checked)  

6. Input your custom Title and Text or HTML in the input form.  

7. Update/Publish your content.  

8. View your Website and look for your new content in the position of the widget.  


== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= I can't find the Based On Post input box on my 'Add Post' or 'Add Page' screen. =

Please make sure that you've placed a checkmark next to it under the 'screen options' tab inside the
'Add Post' or 'Add Page' screen. Sometimes wordpress automatically hides extra fields.

= The Widget always uses the Post title instead of my own custom Title. =

To turn the 'Post Title as Widget Title' option on or off, go to the 'Appearance->widgets' section of your wordpress
dashboard, and open the 'Based On Post' Widget. There is a single checkbox to turn it on or off. (see Screenshot 1)
