snipet VS. widget

hi, i wanted to add a like button as a widget, but then i realized i don't know what is the different between snipet and widget in WFS. i'm really new to it (a couple of hours) but i'm willing to learn and have big plans for it! can some one please explain what is the difference, and what is the proper method of creating a reusable widget? thanks.

Hi Asaf, here's the section of user guide that explains components: http://wireframesketcher.com/help/help.html#working_with_screens/working_with_components

it explain how to use them, but not how to create them. let say i want to create a 5 little stars in a row (as vote indicator) that in the properties of the widget i can choose from a drop down between 0,0.5,1,1.5,2,2.5,3,3.5,4,4.5 and 5. halfs will be half star, and you'll be able to set different rating with it,... hope you understood what i've ment. how should i accomplish that? thanks.

You can't really do components with properties. What you cand do, is provide several widgets, one for each value. I created an example that uses star icon for ratings from 0 to 5: http://mockupsgallery.com/star-ratings

Take a look at it to see how it's done. Note that it's just a regular screen file with some named groups in it. You can also use an image instead of an icon, for example for a half-filled stars.
