@tajhay, I do use both Featured Threads and Widget Framework and you can see them in action on my site.
It isn't possible to put Featured Threads into a widget. However, it is possible to include widgets on the Featured Threads page. Check the FAQ which links to the post I made on how to use the WF sidebar on the Featured Threads page.
In addition with the 2.6 update, you can now include widgets at the top and bottom of the Featured Threads page, as
@Brogan has kindly added hooks to the new
cta_featuredthreads_featured_custom_top and
cta_featuredthreads_featured_custom_bottom templates. The hooks have exactly the same names. (There's also a
cta_featuredthreads_featured_custom_sidebar with a same-named hook though you'll probably not use this if you're replacing the sidebar with the WF one).
So, to add widgets in these positions:
ACP > Appearance > Add widget
Choose the widget you want to add (e.g. New Threads) and configure the settings as you require
In the
Position box, set this to
hook:cta_featuredthreads_featured_custom_top or
hook:cta_featuredthreads_featured_custom_bottom depending on where you want the widget to appear.
Save and the widget will appear on the Featured Threads page.
Note: You can display several widgets in each of the hook positions. Just repeat the above for each widget and set the
Display Order for each so that they appear in the required order.
