Microblogs as widgets

In addition to the display of microblogs in the microblog console of the folder view you can also have microblogs displayed as widgets on your personal portal or any workspace portal.

Microblogs as portal widgets

You create a microblog widget

      by selecting  File    New    Widget  in the top menu of your personal portal or a workspace portal. Choose ‘Microblog’ as the type of the new widget.

The context of the new microblog widget in your personal portal is by default your entire social network, the context of the new microblog widget in a workspace portal is this very workspace. That means that the new microblog widget in your personal portal shows by default the microblog of your social network and that the new microblog widget in a workspace shows by default the microblog of this workspace. The display of events is disabled at first.

You may change the context of a microblog widget

      by clicking on change in the title line of the widget and enter a new context in the ‘Preferences’ section of the ‘Change Widget’ action form. This way you may also have the personal microblog of a user displayed in a portal widget.

For creating and changing widgets in a portal cf. also 3.4.1 Personal portal.

In other respects, the microblog portal widget works like the microblog console.
