Add a DreamWidget to Joomla

Where it goesCustom module
What you needWorks on Joomla 3, 4 and 5. Your editor account needs a text filter that allows scripts.

First, copy your code. In the DreamWidget editor, open Settings and press Copy embed code. It is one iframe and a short script; paste both.

Add a widget to a page

  1. Create a Custom moduleGo to Content, then Site Modules, press New and choose "Custom".
  2. Paste with the editor offPress "Toggle Editor" so you see plain HTML, paste your DreamWidget code and give the module a title.
  3. Place itChoose a module position and the menu pages it shows on, then Save & Close.

A popup, bar or chat buttons on every page

Floating widgets do not need a spot in the layout; they load once per page and float over it.

  1. Assign it to all pagesSet the same Custom module to "On all pages" in Menu Assignment, in a footer position.
Worth knowing: If the code disappears on save, set your user group to "No Filtering" under System, Global Configuration, Text Filters.

Check it worked

Open the published page in a private window. The widget draws within a second; if the box is empty, see Checking it worked. Changes you publish in the editor appear on Joomla by themselves; you never paste the code again.
