Adding a widget with code to pull from another site
I am trying to figure out where to go for a finding or creating a widget for elgg 1.8 currently with default elgg theme (that I will change possibly tonight). The site it is on if needing to see theme is http://jawjak.com. The code I need to insert in is from Manta and just need to add a Recommendation Box that also shows the recommendations that others have posted. The code is:
<a href="http://www.manta.com/c/mx2cxvt/jawjak#widget:recommendations;w:250;h:470;emid:mx2cxvt">JawJak</a> <script src="http://www.manta.com/js/widget_embed.js"></script>
Any help would be extremely helpful at this stage. I know other CMSs' out there like WordPress and Joomla have where you can add a widget in all pages that shows your custom HTML and that is all I need, but for elgg. Elgg seems more stable and faster than the others with less SPAM issues so I would like to stick with it here.
Thanks in advance to anyone that might be able to help.

You must log in to post replies.There was some plugin for adding free html in Elgg. But not sure whether its uograded for 1.8. You can create your own widgets easily following these tutorials. If you have any doubts, ask
@Team Webgalli - Thanks for the links. I looked at the docs on how to create a plugin, but it seemed out of my reach for this particular project. However, I will look at the hello world links and try those out tomorrow. +Rep to you, thanks again.
