WPBakery Visual Composer Widget Particle #1207

Would be an awesome thing if we could add a Widget Particle to Visual Composer it lists now only the WordPress Core Widgets. I know a lot of users are using it ...

It would be even more awesome if this was a contribution. 😺 Are you at all familiar with that plugin? Perhaps you could try giving it a go and see if you can get anything out of it, or at least point us to some directions etc?

Guys, this really shouldn't be difficult to implement. I know nothing about Wordpress and Visual Composer but I believe that a WP guru like @newkind will be able to implement it easily :wink:

Basically, this should be a modified version of the "Gantry 5 Particle" widget but coded into a Visual Composer add-on.

Implementing this will opened completely new doors for G5 in the WP community. It will increase the G5 popularity a big time! Visual Composer is the most selling WP extension. It has almost 170 000 sales - imagine the number of sites/people who use it - quite unbelievable! Every singly WEEK, Visual Composer has about 3500 sales. Also, in the Wordpress Add-ons section, 90% of the items are actually VC add-ons. In short - everybody develops for VC.

You can find the VC documentation here and a VC plugin example here.

We are accepting pull requests for this, help is welcome. At the moment we have other things we need to focus on before we can look into this. Might be an easy one but still requires time that we don't really have at the moment.
