Layout style options

The Contributions widget includes the Detailed List, List, and Card layouts options.

From the Edit Widget panel, select any of these options to change the layout. Each layout has its own set of unique options.

Detailed List

The Detailed List layout features a smaller thumbnail accompanied by the item's title, various elements, and a preview of its content.

List

The List layout gives you a simple, minimalistic view of the items featured in the widget. You can see the title as well as any elements toggled on in the List Item Elements area of the Edit Widget panel.

Card

The Card layout showcases the item's image and other elements you choose to include.

Configuration Options

List Style

The available options in the List Style section for the Detailed List include:

• Space: Uses whitespace to create space between items.
• Divide: Adds a horizontal line to divide items.
• Border: Creates a border that separates items into individual boxes.

Title

The Title appears at the top of the widget. If the Visible Only to Screen Readers toggle is active, the title remains hidden from most visitors; however, the title information is still relayed to visitors using screen readers.

Board Types to Include

Use the Board Types to Include drop-down menu to select the type(s) of boards to display in the widget.

Options include:

• All
• Blogs only
• Ideas only

Sort

For the Detailed List layout, you can optionally turn on Show Additional Filter/Sort Tabs to add tabbed navigation within the widget.

For example, you can have a tab for your Recent Activity content and another for Most Likes/Votes, Solutions, or Archived content.

On all styles, the Sort By drop-down menu enables you to sort items in the widget by Recent Activity (including topics or replies) or Newest Topics.

Number of Items

The Number of Items slider gives you control over the number of items that are displayed on the widget.

List Item/Card Elements

The widget includes a series of elements that showcase different information about the member's contributions. You can switch these individual elements on or off.

These elements include:

• Author: The author's name.
• Body Preview/Teaser: Preview text for the content.
• Media Preview: A preview of any media included in the content.
• Place: The category or board of the content.
• Reply Count: The number of replies to the content.
• Tags: Any tag(s) associated with the content.
• Timestamp: The time and date the content was published.
• Unread Messages Indicator: The total number of unread posts or comments on the content (for example, "1 unread").
• View Count: The total number of views the content has received.
• Like/Vote Count: A total number of likes or votes the content has received.
• Author Rank: The rank of the author.
• Time to Read (Blogs only): An indicator of the length of time the average person will take to read the content.
• Solved Badge (Discussions Only): A badge indicating whether the content has been marked solved.

The Lead With drop-down menu lets you display the item author's Avatar, discussion style Icon, or None, along with the item in the widget.
