Tools Overview

The Leverage Community Platform provides a variety of development tools to help you in integrating and extending your community-based system.

The Widget Toolkit empowers community owners, designers, and developers to quickly "cut and paste" community functionality from the platform onto a marketing web page, event web site, blog, or anywhere you might wish to promote or extend your community. Widgets may be placed on any web page, and are an excellent way to "bubble up" interesting information from within a community. To learn more about this system:

  • Review the Widget Toolkit Overview documentation for a high-level overview of the data feeds and widgets available
  • Try the Widget Builder to see how quickly you can create a widget to suit your needs
  • Explore the Page Builder to create a community widget-driven web page in minutes

The Web Services API helps developers, systems integrators, and others to integrate the community on a data level by providing an extensible set of web services so that the community can be integrated with registration systems, web portals, customer relationship management systems, and more.
