Widget system properties
Hi there,

Is it possible to make the fields in a widget's System Properties tab (Site manager > Development > Widgets > #selected widget# > System Properties) appear in the widget configuration settings, when selecting it from the Page tab?

We'd like to edit the 'Display to roles' field of a widget on an ad-hoc basis.

Many thanks.

RE:Widget system properties
Hello,

while it is not possible to add the entire 'system properties' tab to the widget properties, it is possible to add properties listed in this tab to the widget properties through modification of the widgetized web part. You can find more information in system properties context help page. Please note this is link to localhost/KenticoCMS6 and will not work if you do not have Kentico CMS 6 installed in the standard directory. You can find the page by navigating to CMS Site Manager -> Development -> Widgets -> {edit widget} -> System properties and clicking the question mark in the upper right corner of the tab.

Regards,
Josef Dvorak

You might want to have a look through the Widgets documentation:

Hello,

the link leads to the context help of standard Kentico CMS 6 installation and will not work if you do not have the web installed in the default directory. I've edited the post to include information how to find the help page by navigating the CMS Site Manager.

Regards,
Josef Dvorak
