### How to use Etherpad widgets without an integration manager (like Dimension) |
|
|
|
### Integrating a Etherpad widget in a room |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is how it works in Element Web, it might work quite similar with other clients: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To integrate a standalone Etherpad in a room, create your pad by visiting `https://etherpad.example.com`. When the pad opens, copy the URL and send a command like this to the room: `/addwidget URL`. You will then find your integrated Etherpad within the right sidebar in the `Widgets` section. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Set Dimension default to the self-hosted Etherpad (optional) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you decided to install [Dimension integration manager](configuring-playbook-dimension.md) alongside Etherpad, the Dimension administrator users can configure the default URL template. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Dimension configuration menu can be accessed with the sprocket icon as you begin to add a widget to a room in Element Web. There you will find the Etherpad Widget Configuration action beneath the _Widgets_ tab. |

|
#### Removing the integrated Etherpad chat |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you wish to disable the Etherpad chat button, you can do it by appending `?showChat=false` to the end of the pad URL, or the template. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example: `https://etherpad.example.com/p/$roomId_$padName?showChat=false` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Known issues |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your Etherpad widget fails to load, this might be due to Dimension generating a Pad name so long, the Etherpad app rejects it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`$roomId_$padName` can end up being longer than 50 characters. You can avoid having this problem by altering the template so it only contains the three word random identifier `$padName`. |
