Setting up your showcase

On this page:

wikiloops showcase introduction

The "Showcase" is an optional enhancement of the basic wikiloops user profile which is only available in upgraded membership plans.

During the upgraded membership's duration, the showcase will be the default view your profile visitors will get to see first, making it the right spot to showcase tracks and albums of your choice, and to present your added image gallery.

The showcase also features a "Collaborators Map" visualising your network of collaborators around the world, a "User stats" box with your activity statistics, and widgets listing the users who are following you and the users you are following.

The "User stats" box and the two follower widgets can be hidden from public view by toggling the "eye"-icon button in each widget's top-right corner.
