Use Widgets

Widgets are one of the most exciting features of MomentVille! A 'Widget' is a portable section of one website that can be 'embedded' into another website. Widgets allow you to expand and customize your website virtually without limit. You can easily add all sorts of things to your MomentVille website, including:

  • Videos  (YouTube, Viddler, DailyMotion, etc)
  • Slideshows (RockYou, Slide, etc)
  • Music (Sonific)
  • Games (iKnowThat, YourMinis)
  • Polls (PollDaddy)
  • More....

To add a Widget to your MomentVille website you must first add a Widget Element to a page on your website.  To do this, go to the bottom of a page on your website select 'Widget' from the drop down list, and hit the 'Add Element' button.

You will then see an empty widget element.  To add a widget you will need the "Embed" code.  The code will often start and end with an 'embed' tag that looks like this:

<object ...>  ...   </object> 

For example, the embed code for a YouTube video looks like this:

<object width="425" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OPmYbP0F4Zw">
</param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OPmYbP0F4Zw" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">
</embed>
</object>

To add the widget simply paste the embed code into the 'Video Embed Source' field and hit 'Update'.  Your widget will be inserted and ready to use right away.
