Widgets allow you to not only customize your custom pages but add content and statistics from the forum to the pages as well.
To edit your custom page select Structure from the admin area menu. On the following menu, select Custom Pages. Click on the name of the custom page you wish to edit from the list.
The Zone Settings tab on each of the zones on the page allows you to specify whether or not you'd like the zone to appear as a container with a title bar. This can be used to make multiple widgets appear as if they're all in the same container.
To add a widget find the zone you want to add the widget to on the page and click on the Add Widget button. Choose the widget you'd like to add from the menu.
Each widget has a Container checkbox you can check to give it a title bar and background. Leaving this unchecked will make the background of the widget transparent.
Once you're satisfied with your widget's settings click the Save button to finish its creation.
To edit or delete an existing widget hover your mouse over its window area and click on the Settings button or the Delete button, depending on what you desire to do.
To reorganize the order in which your widgets display on the page hover over one of your widgets and click and drag the middle icon with the up/down arrows. The widget will follow your mouse until you release your mouse button, then be placed in the area you were hovering over.
