Tips❤️"How to put a widget in the main left column of the homepage" was one of the first questions I asked Hoop about during Beta, and I have seen many others ask the same question since. Answer: you can't put real widgets there. But I did figure out how to 'fake' one there --which also has the side option of creating 3 columns, if you like that sort of thing. Why?

To handle this, create nested grids- an outer grid...

Blog Post CommentYou sure can! On your blog page, on the right hand column, you should see an RSS link. Just grab that and feed it into Hootsuite as I described above, and voila. Just let me know if you run into any trouble, and I can help further.

Topic ReplyI knew, I knew. Just saying that now that Hoop2 has forced ALL of us in coach into the cockpit, maybe our plan should include it. Other than that, how'd you like my fake widget/3 column tip Mr Lincoln?

Topic ReplyHello, Crowdstack's default widget code limits displayed content to avoid crowding the narrow widget column. Use a <div> tag with specific styles to create a scrollable container for the widget content. Create Custom Widget: Go to Customer/Embedded Widget settings in the control panel. Select "Add Embedded Widget". Create a Custom Embedded Widget and copy the code. Modify the widget code to show your desired content (e.g., "last 50" posts). Add Scrollbar Code: Paste the following code...
