There are 6 types of widgets:

Facebook Widget
For Facebook, it's as simple as adding your Facebook Page URL and clicking create. This will insert the Facebook feed into your Widget Sidebar.


Email Signup Widget
We have a built in signup widget for email lists right within your Media Center. If you already have Distribution Lists created within your ISEBOX account, you can just choose the list you would like this widget to add new subscribers to from the drop down menu. To customize the text in the Email Signup Widget, simply edit the Text field, and click Create.

Text Widget
Text is great for links to your website, contact information, or other information. This mini editor will allow you to add some style and links to your text.

Embed Widget
With Embed Widget, when a URL is entered, ISEBOX will intelligently capture the Title and Meta Data from the chosen URL. The player looks for appropriate media to display in the player. Because the player depends on the design of the site you are embedding - this may or may not look the way you expect. We're unable to make changes to the way the Embed Widget displays a page. However if you have access to the website you are embedding, you can have changes made there.

Custom Widget
With the Custom Widget, simply enter your Java Script, CSS or HTML in the provided field and click create. Thinks polls, surveys, calendars, or any other external software (we will give our best-effort for software that isn't ISEBOX".
