If you find one you like, or if you have a client that I would like to add one of them at their website, you must understand how to put them in a Joomla site.

The most important part of adding Google Gadgets for a Joomla site is to find where and how to put the code so that it appears only in the locations you specify your client or. This is relatively easy, and I will explain step by step.

The first thing to do is to find out where to get all the Google gadget.Go to google.com/ig/directory.Quindi, choose a gadget you'd like to have on your site and click "add to your webpage". Then click "get code" under the gadget, and copy the code and paste it into a text document and save it somewhere on your hard disk.

Next, in the area Access site administrator. go to extensions > "engine" and click "New". When prompted to make a choice, choose "Custom HTML" and click "next".Give the form a title and decide if you want the title to display in the browser for all visitors to see.

You will have to decide what position module and pages that the gadget will appear on the next.Hopefully it will be you have thought this out ahead of time and then can add the pages under the "Menu assignment" and choose the location pop-up menu form. you can always change both of these at any time you want if you don't like how the gadget will appear on certain pages.

Finally, in "Custom Output" click HTML at the bottom of the pane, if you are using an HTML editor, and then paste the code obtained by Google had saved a document previously text. If you are not using an HTML editor, simply paste the right code in custom output pane. now, click "Save" and your gadgets will be in the position module on specified pages.
