Codes & Widgets Guidelines
Welcome to Codes & Widgets! This is the place to share CSS, JavaScript, HTML, widgets, and snippets that help members customize their ForumSpark forums.
Posting Your Code
Only post your own work. If your code builds on someone else’s, get their permission and credit them.
Use code blocks. Put your code in a code block so it keeps its formatting and is easy to copy.
Explain what it does. Describe what the code changes and add a screenshot or preview if you can.
Include instructions. Explain where the code goes, such as custom CSS, a widget, or a template, and any settings that need to be changed.
Note any requirements. Mention which ForumSpark layout it’s for and anything else it relies on.
Test before posting. Make sure your code works, and note any known issues.
Keep it safe. Code that steals data, tracks members without their knowledge, or harms forums isn’t allowed.
One topic per code. Post updates in your existing topic instead of making a new one.
Using Code
Follow the creator’s terms. Don’t redistribute or resell someone else’s code, or claim it as your own.
Keep the credits. If the creator includes a credit comment, leave it in place.
Ask for help in the code’s topic. That way, the creator and other members can find the answer later.
Staff may remove any code or topic that breaks these guidelines. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to a member of staff.
