I just need to be pointed the right direction here, I don't expect the exact answer.
Basically, I got a wordpress plugin for woocommerce. It adds a new metabox with options to choose from within the 'add new product' area in admin back-end.
Plugin here https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-incremental-product-quantities/
My theme with other plugins allow me to add new products from the front-end and so I would like to use this plugin also from the front-end.
So how can I bring the plugin to my theme template to be able to choose its option from the front-end? Or what steps to take that I could google some tutorials and take it from there?
I haven't tried anything just yet, I just have no idea where to start.
Any help is appreciated

Is it possible to develop a plugin that is able to add a panel to the widgets page? And could someone point me to a few articles to get me started if there is? I need to achieve something similar to the customisable sidebar plugin where a panel was added via activation of the plugin.
Thanks
What may be reason when i am using multiple plugins then some plugin showing in widget sidebar
but some or not like
plugin "wp-auctions" is showing in widget sidebar but
plugin "ultimate-auction" is not showing.
I am using "twentythirteen" theme.
please help me.
Well, take a look at this, http://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-auction/installation/
It seemed ultimate-auction is used on a page, not as a widget
Try create a new Page:
Enter this text "[wdm_auction_listing]" as a shortcode inside this new
page and publish it.
Then visit this page to see the auction list.
Goto the Admin page, choose Appearance->Widgets, check Available Widgets on the left side, ultimate-auction might be there, and you need drag it to the Main Widget Area on the right side.
Is there any way we can assign a shortcode to already created widget and later use that
shortcode in our specific posts and pages to show that widget instead of trivial method of
showing widgets in sidebar ? I googled about this stuff didn't find anything relative.
Any suggestion would be welcome!
Yes, You can call widget in Post/Page using shortcode. Follow this link to establish a system like that.

This might be relevant.
Widgets on Pages
https://wordpress.org/plugins/widgets-on-pages/
Observations and two questions:
This plugin allows insertion of 1 or "sets" of widgets via shortcode into pages, posts, (and Custom post types?) and it will also save a list of configured shortcodes~sets. VERY handy!
When comparing its features to the plugin Widgets Shortcode, that plugin does not provide a means to save "sets" of plugins, rather it seems to focus on inserting widgets individually. In fact, it inserts the shortcode for each widget in the bottom edge of each widget and it assigns different shortcodes to each instance of a widget. Also nice.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-shortcode/
I like the granularity Widgets Shortcode provides with an individual shortcode for every instance of every widget. When running it and your plugin simultaneously even widgets saved in your plugin's "sets" are still assigned individual shortcodes. Those individual shortcodes allow using a specific widget out of a "set" in a different location without needing to create an additional instance of the widget as it appears would be required with your plugin.
Incidently, for anyone who wants both of these features, these two plugins play very nicely together on one of our WP 4.0 Multisite installations with 50+ sites and even on a site using the theme Make.
FYI: We also tested amr shortcode any widget, but had some issues with it and rather than troubleshoot it we moved on. To be fair, we were testing quickly on a site with over 160 plugins active. Yes, 160 plugins. I know, I know, but think about it for a minute. Any plugin that you can activate into that mix of 160 plugins and it does not break things or introduce issues, then it suggests a good probability of it being troublefree to use.... well at least until the next round of WP updates. :)
We also tested Widgetize Pages Light and its pro version Sidebar & Widget Manager and had no issues with either. However, if only seeking to insert widgets into pages and posts these plugins seem like overkill as they provide additional page layout functions that may duplicate theme functions and/or other plugin functions.
I was looking for a "widgets in pages" plugin that provides a TinyMCE button to insert the widget shortcodes.
Can anyone recommend one that has a TinyMCE button to insert the widget shortcodes in pages, posts and CPTs?
Ultimately I selected Widgets On Pages as having the best combination of features for this application. Its simple to understand, easy to use, versatile and has worked flawlessly for us, even along side Widgets Shortcode.
You can do it by wordpress WordPress Widgets Shortcode plugin, you can Embed any widget area/dynamic sidebar to your pages/posts using this plugin as a shortcode
edit widgets in wp :
file in # wp-includes/widgets.php: register_widget()
in source view sample :
public function register( $widget_class ) {
$this->widgets[$widget_class] = new $widget_class();
}
I know that I can go and change my theme's style.css file to change the background color of my widget areas, or if I make a custom widget area, I can give that a specific class and thus a custom background image in the style.css, but I need to give the user control for a few widget areas.
I have searched and searched and have not found any relevant information. Does anybody have any idea how I could do this? I really don't know how to make a widget AREA customizeable, and I would really appreciate any pointers in the right direction or assistance that anyone can provide.
EDIT
To be clear, I know how to add a custom widget area to my site. I have no idea how to add a customizeable option to the widget area, rather than a custom widget. As far as I understand it, widget areas are a set thing, are they not? Any pointer to a theme that does this would be greatly appreciated, as all of my google searches only end up pointing me to how to create a custom widget area, rather than a customizeable widget area.
Check the following two links if it is helpful for you.

My understanding of your question is that you are looking for a way to allow the client/admin to modify the widgets that are displayed on any given page/post (rather than modify the widgets themselves).
This is a problem I have tried various ways to solve, never adequately imo. First of all there's the option to create a widget area for each page dynamically. I've seen it in commercial themes, I've done it myself, it is not without it's problems as you can see here - Register new widget position moves existing widgets
There are plugins that can do this, again not without their drawbacks. This plugin;
http://www.codeandmore.com/products/wordpress-plugins/wp-page-widget/
http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-page-widget/
Is great, I love it. BUT it does not work on custom page template, be aware (I've not looked at modifying to allow this, I've seen a post by the developers saying they have no intention of adding this).
There is this plugin - http://strategy11.com/display-widgets/ by the developer of the Formidable plugin, for me it makes the widget area far too complex if you have a lot of widgets and a lot of pages.
Finally there is what I ended up doing recently - using this code by Chris Coyier
http://digwp.com/2010/04/call-widget-with-shortcode/
To do my own custom code using the Wordpress function the_widget (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_widget) to deploy certain widgets on a page by page basis.
I have created a custom module for the backend. Now I need to configure an admin template for my custom module.
I am able to create a new template for the frontend in magento. But I still don't understand, how to create a new theme for the admin side.
And also, I have designed my own header, footer and sidebars (left and right) for my new admin theme.
Can anyone help me with this?
See the following link from Inchoo. They have an excellent module solution for creating a custom admin theme, without chopping up the default one. Its ridiculously simple as well. Its also upgrade proof. I used it to add a few more attribute selections to the product list.

You then just create your theme in /var/www/app/design/adminhtml/default/NAMEOFYOURTHEME
You can also just make css tweaks by adding /var/www/skin/adminhtml/default/NAMEOFYOURTHEME/custom.css (which is located in the default theme, so override it)
