Widgets are small pieces of software that you can add to your ContentBox website to perform a specific function. There are several Widgets built into ContentBox that are used for various parts of your website, and you can insert widgets into blog posts and pages to make your website even more dynamic.

Widgets are one of the ways ContentBox is extendable, you can install modules and themes that overwrite existing widgets, or are brand new... or you can create or customize your own widgets.

Widgets are maintained through the Administrator under Look & Feel > Widgets. You can managing existing widgets, upload new widgets, or download widgets from Forgebox.

In this section of the documentation, you will learn how to use Install, Manage and Use Widgets

To learn how you can develop your own widgets, read this section under Developing for ContentBox
