Description

Purpose

Similar to the way the Blog - Post widget only displays a blog post when a blog post is defined in the current context, the Core - Message widget only displays the message defined in the current context.

Where it works

A message is within the context of the <site name>/msgs/default.aspx page, but on other pages, no message is generally available.

Theme differences

  •  This widget is part of the Default configuration for the platform, which means it is available for an administrator to add to any theme using the Manage Widgets tab.
  •  This widget is available via the Manage Widgets tab with modifications specific to the Enterprise theme.

Configuration

Enable the widget

  1. Navigate to Control Panel Dashboard > System Administration > Site Administration > Widget Studio > Enable/Disable widgets.
  2. Move the widget to the Allowed widgets column.

Place and configure the widget

  1. Click Edit Page on the page, then select and place the Core - Message widget.
  2. Click Configure on the widget menu bar. The configuration dialog appears.


    You can change the widget's title from "Core - Message" to another name by clicking Change and entering the new name.

  3. Click Save in the configuration dialog.
  4. Click Save Page.
