How to add Leaderboard to a Yola website

Embed Leaderboard on Yola

01

Create a Leaderboard app for Yola on Common Ninja

First, create a Yola Leaderboard app on Common Ninja. On the apps catalog, find the Leaderboard and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Leaderboard app

When you're done creating the Leaderboard app, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Leaderboard Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Leaderboard app to your Yola website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the app embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Yola website.

04

Paste the code to your Yola website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Yola website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Yola’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Leaderboard Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Leaderboard app on your Yola website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Leaderboard app on your Yola app. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Yola website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Leaderboard app to your Yola website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Yola website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Leaderboard widget when you want to introduce friendly competition that keeps people engaged over time. Ranking participants by points, scores, or achievements gives users a clear sense of progress and status. This is powerful for challenges, learning programs, sales teams, communities, games, and loyalty activities. Public rankings motivate participants to return, improve, and stay active so they can climb or hold their position. You can highlight top performers, show trends, and connect rewards or recognition to ranking. A visible leaderboard turns isolated interactions into an ongoing experience and strengthens the sense that your site or program has an active, invested community.
