Info

Custom items provide a convenient way to add custom content to a widget without using content from any specific Joomla component. Custom items are assigned to a widget by group, therefore all custom items must belong to a group.
To create a widget with custom content:
-
Go to the extension Dashboard and click on Groups, then click on New.
-
Enter a name for this group and click on Save & Close.

On the next step you must create some items in this group. Go to the extension Dashboard and click on Custom Items, then click on New.
A custom item has the following data:

-
Assign the custom item to a group and click on Save & Close.
