Widgets Module

What is a Widget?

"Widget" is a term used for small bits of code that allow functionality from one web site to be embedded into another web site. Some examples of widgets are YouTube videos, Google Calendars, or any of the widgets found at sites like WidgetBox.

What Does the Widgets Module Do?

The Widgets Module performs two basic tasks:

1) Eases importing widgets from other web sites into your EditMe site. This is referred to as Importing Widgets. For example, if you want to display a YouTube video on your site, you would copy the code for the video from YouTube and paste it into the Import Widget form provided by this module. Once imported, you can display the widget in any page with a simple [[include:MyWidgetName]] tag.

2) Allows EditMe pages to be exported as a widget for embedding in other web sites. This is referred to as Exporting Widgets. For example, if you want to display a page from your EditMe site in your blog or Netvibes page, you can use the Export Widget form to generate the needed code to do so.
