I've created a custom module called "Event Details Entry" which works pretty well when "dragged" into a custom blog post template.
But there are limitations on getting access to the data fields when displaying the posts. So I started exploring the use of the custom_widget tag as documented https://designers.hubspot.com/docs/hubl/hubl-supported-tags.
{% custom_widget "Event Data" widget_name= 'Event Details Entry' %}
Basically - it does not work. The content editor flags up errors about finding the module name. I've scoured the forums here and found multiple posts that have different formats for invoking this tag and a related "module" tag. Very confusing for a newbie. So is the documentation fundamentally wrong or am I missing something here?

here is a snap shot of the custom image tag requirements:
In my experience, the widget_name has to match the custom module name exactly.
You can get the "snippet" for any module from the custom module editor, left sidebar, at the bottom:
Does that help?

Well, I'm not sure what extra code woudl be helpful here. I'm trying to reference the custom module in the <additional head markup> of a blog page template. All other tags I have used in this markup work just fine, and I can see the data they contain in the blog post page via "widget_data" dict references. But when I try and add the custom module I see:

I'm having this same issue "Unable to find custom widget ..."
Did you find the solution for this? What is the correct formatting and/or does that Custom Module have to be in a certain folder?
Thanks!

Basically, I can't see how this response - referencing the use of a {% module %} tag - can be accepted as a solution for inadeqaute documentation and/or support on a potentially related but different {% custom_widget %} tag. Is one of these tags deprecated in some way?

The module name is: Email_Article_Full_Width_Image
This is what I have in the template:
{% custom_widget "news_article" widget_name="Email_Article_Full_Width_Image", label="Email Article - Full Width Image" %}
And this is what my snippet is:
{% module "module_156106020113380" path="/Corp_Conc_May2018 Theme/Custom Modules/Email_Article_Full_Width_Image" %}
I get the error: Warning:168:13Unable to find custom widget Email_Article_Full_Width_Image
Not sure what I'm doing wrong 😞 Everything matches. Do I use the snippet instead of the Custom_widget HubL?
Thanks so much for your help!

@ckrakowski I would try the snippet and see. That should work better.

@Jsum you are a GENIUS! That works! Thank you so much!
