How To Use Widgets

The widgets are a very simple and effective way to incorporate some sophisticated and complex functionality into any page. A widget is inserted directly in-line with the content and looks similar to an XHTML tag.

Working with widgets is very simple. Just insert it into the content or sidebar and set the attributes.

There are 2 ways to specify the contents for an attribute:

  1. Set the attribute content by selecting the ALL CAPS default value (usually just "REPLACE") and insert your own text.
    Example:
    label="REPLACE" → label="My own label"
  2. Choose one of the provided values separated by vertical bars (i.e. "yes|no"). Keep the value you want and delete the rest.
    Example:
    align="left|center|right" → align="left"
