Custom widgets

A custom widget is a block you write yourself: an announcement, a reminder, opening hours, useful links… It can stay on your own dashboard or appear for all the club's members. It is the right way to remind people of a general assembly, a closure of the hall or the registration deadline for a camp.

1. 1Click New block, then Create a widget…, at the bottom of the menu.
2. 2Fill in the Create a widget window.

1. 1Titlethe title of the block, here "General assembly 2026".
2. 2Categorydecides who can see the widget (see below). Default: Custom.
3. 3Contentthe text of the block, formatted with the editor: bold, colours, lists, links, images, tables…
4. 4Show by default for everyonewith Yes, the widget is added straight away to the dashboard of every person who can see it (see "Sharing a widget with the whole club"). With No, it is only offered in New block. This choice only appears with the Blocks for everyone right.
5. 5Savecreates the widget.

The Icon (optional) field adds an icon to the block's header.

The category decides who can see the widget:

• Custom, Members or Other: everyone, members and parents included;
• Contacts: only the people who have the View right of the Contacts module: the committee, in the broad sense;
• Finances: only the people who have the View right of the Accounting module.

Choose Contacts or Finances for a message reserved for the committee, and Custom for a message to the whole club.

With Show by default for everyone set to Yes, the widget is placed at the top of the dashboard of every person who can see it, like an announcement. Someone who logs in for the first time later receives it too.

Everyone can then remove it from their own dashboard with the cross, or put it back with New block › Custom.

All the widgets you can see are offered in New block, under Custom, whatever their category.
