Widgets

The Curator.io platform has a powerful embedding system that gives the Curator.io team functionality to help you customize your widgets without you having to touch the code after it's embedded.

If, however, you're the kind of person who likes to get their hands dirty or is looking for a more bespoke social media aggregator then you've come to the right place.

The Curator.io Widgets are built to be as extensible as possible and, hopefully, easy to understand. So you can
use the code as a foundation on which you can build your own awesome social media widgets. We look forward to seeing your creations.

We're still working on the documentation but you can dive right into the code on our GitHub:

Curator GitHub

The code in GitHub is the latest version of the code we use in our off the shelf widgets.

CDN

CDN hosted Curator.io Widgets are a great way to get up and running quickly:

In your <head> add:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//cdn.curator.io/1.3/css/curator.css"/>

In your <body> where you want the feed to appear:

<div id="curator-feed">
    <a href="https://curator.io" target="_blank" class="crt-logo">Powered by Curator.io</a>
</div>

Then, before your closing </body> tag add:

<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdn.curator.io/1.3/js/curator.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    // While you're testing
    Curator.debug = true;

    // Change FEED_ID to your unique FEED_ID
    var widget = new Curator.Waterfall({
        container:'#curator-feed',
        feedId:FEED_ID
    });
</script>

FEED_ID can be found in the Curator Admin

jQuery / Zepto

Curator comes in two flavours:

  • curator.nodep.js - a stand alone widget which is not dependent on any libraries (it has Zepto pre-packaged in the js file)
  • curator.js - which requires either jQuery (1.7 +) or Zepto included before the curator.js <script> tag
