I'm looking for some good documentation on how to create a widget the "new" way with velocity and extensions. I have an external database I need to query and display in data in a widget.

Please help. I've been searching the documentation for hours and can't find a simple document that explains how to do this.

    Hi Lisa, you can find the documentation for working with widgets here.  Specific documentation on creating a widget extension can be found here.  Feed free to look around at the other widget documentation pages to get a better feel for how the whole system works.

    How to I connect to a database using a connection string from connectionstrings.config? The two links you provided me above is a very brief understanding of how extensions work. To take a deeper dive, I need to print out data from another database. Please provide this documentation.
