In Custom parts, you can create a new custom content part type or link to an existing framework part type.
Note: Custom parts offer additional flexibility, but come with additional complexity. We strongly recommend only developers knowledgeable in all areas of customisations design them. This includes using writing HTML and JavaScript code. Users without this expertise should not design these parts.
To create a custom content part type, click New content part. A custom content part uses JavaScript and HTML to create the part editor and define how to display the part on a web page. You can use custom content parts to create customisations such as slideshows, tabbed content, RSS Feed readers, accordion content, pop-up boxes, and callout boxes.
To link to an existing framework part type, click New framework part. To build custom framework parts for your website, you should understand Blackbaud NetCommunity from a site designer’s perspective and have a working technical knowledge of ASP.NET. The content for custom framework parts can come from a variety of sources and can be as simple as text or HTML stored in the Blackbaud NetCommunity database, or it can be data from the back office such as constituent giving history. For example, you can use a custom framework part to create a custom individual search form or a custom pledge form for Blackbaud NetCommunity.
