I know not much info to go on, but is there any way to tell where I need to look to address this failed to startup widget Undefined error in a custom widget?

James,

Is this a custom widget you built? I look like there is an issue in the widget code itself.

Yes it is. Well, sort of -- I've taken an existing widget, renamed things and removed a lot of the functionality.

I'll take another stab at the widget code -- perhaps there's simply an incorrect declaration of something.

Thank you!

Robert -- it was just easier to start over from scratch, thanks for the encouragement. I was able to get things to load as intended and can now focus on building in the functionality. It's probably a good thing that I'm having to redo/rinse/repeat until I get it setup correctly.

I will say that there's just a lot of little details, spread out over components, that all need to be set correctly. Sorry for the lack of details here but it's just a general observation for those intending to dig into building these things out from an example.
