How do I add a Mini Calendar and Poll to Forum Sidebar

[Scalemotorcars]

Im still new to Suite but I get the basic ideal of how it works, Ive been using VBA for years. However Im a little confused as to why the forum uses blocks in the sidebar rather then widgets like in the CMS.

So I see how to add a widget in CMS and theres plenty of options but only a few for forums. How do I add a widget into a forum sidebar?

I would like to add the Polls widget and the Calendar. Thanks.... :up:

from cms for that but you should be able to get a API from google calenders ..not sure but Ive heard you can get aps for that, polls yes in fact i think polls are a built in add on for forum sideblaocks in forums and moderators/forum blocks

Once again thanks HarleyParts. Ill just goof with some code.

Odd you would think all sidebars would use the same system but.........:rolleyes:

As for the poll its not in my Forums Blocks. Do I need to upload it from somewhere?

I don't :>
but google has this API that should be able to be Incorporated into sidebar using the HTML/php Format option http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/

but its hard to work with, but it does a lot of stuff, events and stuff
