Adding configurable widgets

Telligent Evolution allows you to configure its out-of-the-box widgets when you launch the Customize Mode or enter Edit Mode to customize your pages. The widget configuration functionality is located in the upper-right corner of the widget.

When you click the  icon, the widget opens in its configurable mode.

Unless a widget has been locked, you can at a minimum modify the widget title. A number of widgets have additional properties.

 The description for each configurable widget also includes the .net string type. A typical .net string looks something like this:

CommunityServer.Controls.ContentFragments.AcceptInvitation, CommunityServer.Controls

The string contains the widget's class name ( CommunityServer.Controls.ContentFragments.AcceptInvitation) and the assembly within which the class is contained ( CommunityServer.Controls), separated by a comma. The string is required when you want to:

  • Add markup translations 
  • Review theme export files
  • Review database-stored widget configurations
