Higher Logic provides dozens of widgets that you can use to:
- modernize the look of your community pages,
- enhance the usefulness of your site, and
- increase member engagement.
In this article, we'll focus on our profile-based widgets.
Access the widgets
- On the Admin Toolbar, click (or right click for a new tab) Edit Page.
- In Page Designer, click the Build tab and scroll down to the Widget section.
- Use the Category dropdown and/or the search field to more quickly find a specific widget.
- Widgets are grouped and accessible from their own category in the dropdown.
- Select the All category to view the complete list of widgets.
- As you add and configure widgets (see Build Page Layout and Content), it's a good idea to occasionally click Save.
- After you add widgets to your community, be sure to click Publish.
Profile widgets
The widgets in the Profile category control the profiles for your community users. Your site is prebuilt with a page in the CMS called ProfileBase, and this is where the majority of these widgets are used.
- We do not recommend removing or editing these widgets on the ProfileBase page, as this could break the profile experience for all users across your community.
- These widgets should not be used outside the ProfileBase page. Because of this, these widgets will not be discussed in detail in this article.
- With that said, there are two Profile widgets you may want to review/customize to suit your needs: Digital Ribbons and Badges and Edit Profile Demographic.
