The purpose of HTML widgets is to blend external content within the Talent Suite giving design flexibility over the display and layout of the content inside the widget. You may integrate with an external application if it provides API widget or plugin support. The opposite of pushing Talent Suite content to an external site would be to use direct Talent Suite transaction linking, via Talent Suite Gadgets or API calls to an external portal.
To use the widget
- Go to Manage > System > General Settings > Home Page Manager
- Select the home page template that you are using
- From the widget library on the right side of the screen search for HTML widget
- Drag the widget on the column and row where you wish for it to appear
There are several things to keep in mind of when using the HTML editor:
- Make sure the OWASP system security setting is turned off to allow javascript input if you would like to use javascript code. If you do not want to turn this off system-wide, you can use the override option for your role if you are the administrator.
- The editor will strip off any CSS external reference links.
- The editor will strip off any CSS code.
- The editor will impose line break tags so you'll need to make sure to keep javascript code as an one-liner with the closing appearing on the same line as javascript won't be rendered properly if mixed with HTML.
