Hi Guys
As you may have guessed from my other recent questions, we are using social groups a lot in our ClearspaceCommunity site.
We want to add a link to one of the group home pages and the obvious way to do that is to put it in a borderless html widget which we can position under one of the other widgets to get the required proximity. But the borderless html widget seems to be available only on the communithy home pages, not on social groups.
I understand that some widget types are not applicable in some contexts and I understand that the java code has an annotation that determines which contexts a widget may be used in. But why should there be any such limitation on where I can put a bordeless widget? Its the same as an HTML widget but wihout a border?
This feels like a mistake and as such a bug and I'd like to know if you can fix it or suggest a workround (could build a custom widget but its not clear how to hide the title and border divs).
Thanks
Mark
Hi Mark,
Where did you get this borderless widget from? This isn't one of our included widgets and I don't believe that we have any supported code or plugins out there that provide this functionality. The four supported plugins that we offer are:
And the list of default widgets can be found here:

If this is a custom widget then any requests like this will need to be taken up with the plugin author directly (usually via the plugin page itself). Thanks.

Excellent question, Todd.
I thought it was a standard feature.
A little digging reveals its provenance to be the "essential plugin" (http://www.jivesoftware.com/jivespace/docs/DOC-4940) which was already part of the furniture in our instalation when I moved in. This answers my question. I have seen this plugin mentioned in the forum elsewhere and I noticed it is "at your own risk" and sometimes has been blamed for system problems. But since the source is there I can learn how to hide the border of my own widget should I wish to make one.
thanks again for a prompt and incisive reply
