About Configuration and Panels

Blocks allows site creators who install your widget to customize it in their site-editor. Site creators can change the look and feel of your widget and remove or change elements, so that it integrates with their sites.

Configuration

Go to the Blocks Configuration tab, to determine how your widget and its elements look and behave when they're installed on a site. You can configure:

• Display names of widgets and their elements
• Widget behavior (for example, whether or not site creators can select)
• Action bars of widgets and their elements

Panels

Every Blocks widget comes with several default panels for design, presets, settings and adding or removing elements.

You can also go to the Panels tab to create custom panels. Creating custom panels has three steps:

• Design your panel: plan the panel, add elements and text.
• Code your panel: add the code that connects between the panel elements and the widget's behavior.
• Connect your panel to an action button, so that when a site-creator clicks the button, the panel opens.
