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 widgets associated to our Glossary module.

Access the widgets

You'll be able to add, edit, and remove widgets when editing one of your community's pages. To edit a page:

1. Navigate to the page you want to update and click Edit Page on the Admin Toolbar (or right click for a new tab). Alternatively, you can click Edit Navigation to access the CMS and your community's complete page list, from which you can access and edit any page.

2. Editing a page is accomplished with Page Designer. Click the Build tab and scroll down to the Widget section.
3. 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; click Glossary to view the widgets discussed in this article.

Why use a Glossary?

The Glossary is your site's custom repository for definitions and explanations of words, phrases, and terms that are used within your organization. It can be a valuable resource in which knowledgeable users and experts can share their knowledge, especially technical terms and industry jargon that other might be unfamiliar with.

To learn more about this optional feature, see Site Glossary.

Glossary widgets

Each of the widgets in the Blog category is described in its associated section below.

Glossary List

Displays your complete Glossary list. From this list, users can add Glossary terms, click to view existing terms, and apply various sort options to more easily locate specific terms.

• By default, this widget is used on the "Glossary" page.
• You can add this widget to a custom page, if you want to share your Glossary terms in multiple locations across your site. Keep in mind, though, that this widget enables users to add terms.

Create/Edit Glossary Entry

Displays the form used to add a term to your Glossary.

• By default, this widget is used on the "Add to the Glossary" page, which is the page displayed after clicking to add a Glossary term.
• You can add this widget to a custom page to give users the opportunity to add terms to your Glossary from several pages across your site.
• When adding this widget to a page in Page Designer, we recommend placing it in a single, full-width row, as the form is quite large; if placed in a smaller space, it will be scrunched and difficult to use.

Example

Glossary Entry

Displays a Glossary term's description and other details (e.g., how many comments, views, and revisions).

• By default, this widget is located on the "Glossary Entry" page, which is the page displayed after clicking to view a term.
• This default widget is purpose-built to power the Glossary Entry page, and it will not function on other custom pages.

When viewing a glossary entry, all users can:

1. Click Edit to update the entry or select Delete from the dropdown to remove it. (These options are not available to non-Super Admins if the entry status is Final.)
2. Click this to recommend the entry, elevating its popularity and increasing its visibility when sorting entries by Top Rated. You can also click the number to the left to view users who have recommended it.
3. View and copy the entry's URL, making it easy to share with others.
4. Access any links that other users have provided and add your own by clicking Add.
5. Read any comments that other users have posted and add your own by clicking Add.
6. View the entry's tags and add your own. (Super Admins can control whether non-admins can tag content, so this option may not be available to all users.)

Glossary Revision History

Shows the history of a Glossary term's revisions.

NOTE: A Glossary term has to have revisions in order for this widget to work.
