Widgets

Catalog of page widgets (CMS plugins) for ND Theme CMS v4. Prefer NDT widgets for new content. Use legacy widgets when you need domain-specific listings (events, people, side nav, ribbons) that NDT does not replace.

Prefer NDT

When the plugin picker offers both an NDT widget and a Bootstrap / djangocms_frontend option, choose the NDT widget. NDT components match the Notre Dame Web Theme and stay consistent across the site.

Shared link fields

Many NDT widgets that link somewhere use the same pair of fields:

Field Options Notes
Link CMS page picker Prefer this for internal pages.
External link URL text Use when the destination is outside the CMS. Leave empty if you set Link.

If both are set, the internal page link wins.
