Writing Widgets for NodeBB
==========================
+See the original `blog post `_ for a high level overview and screenshots of the widget system.
-testing
+Embedding HTML and JavaScript
+-----------------------------
+You don't need to be a developer to figure this out. Head over to the Themes control panel and click on the Widgets tab. Create a new HTML widget by dragging and dropping the widget onto whatever template you want.
-testing
--------
+Copy and paste HTML or JavaScript into the widget and hit save - you're done!
+
+You can optionally give your widget a container by dragging and dropping from the containers section onto your selected widget.
+
+If you're looking for some sample scripts, head over to our `plugins section `_ and look for any topic labelled ``nodebb-script-xyz``. Don't forget to submit your scripts and ideas as well!
+
+
+Creating Widgets
+-----------------------------
+
+You can define widgets in both plugins and themes. If you're building a plugin which simply delivers a widget (or collection of widgets), we strongly suggest you follow the ``nodebb-widget-xyz`` nomenclature instead when publishing.
+
+Registering your widget
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Listen to this hook to register your widget:
+
+.. code:: json
+
+ "hook": "filter:widgets.getWidgets", "method": "defineWidgets", "callbacked": true
+
+Pass this back in the array:
+
+.. code:: json
+ {
+ widget: "widget_namespace",
+ name: "My Widget",
+ description: "Short description of what it does.",
+ content: ""
+ }
+
+
+``Content`` defines the form that is displayed to customize your widget in the admin panel.
+
+Listening to your widget
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+NodeBB core will call your widget on the appropriate page load by way of the hooks system. The hook will be named after your widget's namespace (see previous example) - like so: ``filter:widget.render:widget_namespace``
+
+This will pass in an object with the following useful properties:
+
+* ``obj.area`` - will have ``location``, ``template``, ``url``
+* ``obj.data`` - will have your admin-defined data; in the example from the previous section you will be exposed an ``obj.data.myKey``
+
+Defining Widget Areas in Themes
+------------------------------------
+
+A Widget Area is characterized by a template and a location. Themes can share widgets if they define the same Widget Areas. If an admin switches themes, widgets that were previously defined in a Widget Area incompatible with the new theme are saved.
+
+Listen to this hook to register your Widget Area:
+
+.. code:: json
+
+ "hook": "filter:widgets.getAreas", "method": "defineWidgetAreas", "callbacked": true
+
+Pass this back in the array:
+
+.. code:: json
+
+ {
+ name: "Category Sidebar",
+ template: "category.tpl",
+ location: "sidebar"
+ }
+
+
+And that's all. You can define as many Widget Areas in your theme as you wish. If you're still stuck, have a look at `this commit `_ which upgraded the Cerulean theme to use the widget system.
