Sidebar.php

<?
        ###
        # Get page slug
        ###
        $slug = split('/', get_permalink());
        ###
        # Example $slug http://somedomain.com/folder/subfolder/contact-us/
        # we want contact-us so we'll use $slug[5]
        # Array ( 
        #        [0] => http: 
        #        [1] => 
        #        [2] => somedomain.com 
        #        [3] => folder 
        #        [4] => subfolder 
        #        [5] => contact-us 
        #        [6] => )
        ###

        $slug = $slug[5]; ## Change the number to match the last part of the url, see example array above

        ###
        # Check for active sidebar matching page $slug and make sure its not the front page
        ###
        if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-'.$slug ) && !is_front_page() ) { ?>
            <div id="tertiary" class="widget-area" role="complementary"> 
                <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-'.$slug ); ?>
            </div><!-- #tertiary .widget-area -->
        <? } else { ?>
            <div id="tertiary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
                <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ); ?>
            </div><!-- #tertiary .widget-area -->
        <? } ?>

Functions.php

function toolbox_widgets_init() {
    register_sidebar( array(
        'name' => __( 'Sidebar 1', 'toolbox' ),
        'id' => 'sidebar-1',
        'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
        'after_widget' => "</aside>",
        'before_title' => '<h1 class="widget-title">',
        'after_title' => '</h1>',
    ) );
 
    register_sidebar( array(
        'name' => __( 'News', 'toolbox' ),
        'id' => 'sidebar-news',
        'description' => __( 'An optional second sidebar area', 'toolbox' ),
        'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
        'after_widget' => "</aside>",
        'before_title' => '<h1 class="widget-title">',
        'after_title' => '</h1>',
    ) );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'toolbox_widgets_init' );

This script looks for a sidebar matching the page slug of the current viewed page. Add new sidebars to match the scheme sidebar-SLUG in toolbox_widgets_init then create a post/page with a matching slug. done.

Heres a bit of a larger project I’m working on that will give you the first 10 skreemr mp3 links for a search.

<?php
$q = urlencode($_GET['q']);
$skreemr="http://skreemr.com/results.jsp?q=$q";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $skreemr);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, TRUE);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$re1='.*?';	# Non-greedy match on filler
$re2='((?:http|https)(?::\\/{2}[\\w]+)(?:[\\/|\\.]?)(?:[^\\s"]*))';	# HTTP URL 1
if ($c=preg_match_all ("/".$re1.$re2."/is", $output, $matches))  {
  foreach ($matches[1] as $url) {
    if (preg_match('/mp3/', $url)) {
      echo "&lt;a href=\" $url\" target=new&gt;$url&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;";
    }
  }
}
?>
