About this Widget

Widgets by Social Edge are quality, easy-to-use custom widgets that do one thing very well (e.g., display unfiltered HTML, such as calls to action on your home page) for your Verint community.

Fully skinnable and adaptable to your brand's style, the Unfiltered HTML SE Widget comes with its own configuration panel and can be placed on your community's global homepage or any Group Homepage.

This Unfiltered HTML+ widget does not replace Telligent’s existing widgets. Rather, our Unfiltered HTML+ widget wraps code so that it is self-contained and doesn't change the rest of the CSS on your site. You can copy any CSS/HTML from an existing widget and just place it inside of our Unfiltered HTML+ widget. No additional modifications will need to be done to any of the other HTML widgets on your site.
