3rd Party Apps, Widgets, Scripts, J-Query's; Where do they go and how to place?
Is it placed in with the components or stored under the Asset Tab? Where? Then how is it placed? Object box, I-frame or snippet? Not a lot of info in the user help/manuals. Or at least that I could see. (As a full width header/slider, forms creator, menu maker, etc.)
Thanks again - Donald

It depends on the script. They are all a little different. You need to study the instructions that are (typically) included with whatever script you want to use.
Simple scripts, like a javascript, can be inserted where you want them to appear on the page by creating a text box, and pressing CTRL-T to open a window where you paste the code.
Others are a two-step process where you 1.) use the HTML button in the Properties Panel to insert some code into the <HEAD> section, them 2.) use the Text Box + CTRL-T as described above to place it on the page. You can also use the [Code] tab (between Design and Pre
Some may require the two-step process above, plus the inclusion of additional files. You can use Assets View to add them to your project if it's just a couple of files, but you have to be careful about exactly where they get published and ensure the inserted code in the <HEAD> section contains the correct path to the files. Often it's just easier to manually upload the required files to the web server into the appropriate directory as a separate step. Sure it's a separate step, but you only have to do it once, and then when you make changes to your site through NOF, these files don't have to upload each time.
Finally, advanced scripts, especially those that use a database (SQL) will require an entirely separate installation procedure. There can easily be hundreds of files and folders to upload and a procedure to get the script running. Then, the two-step process may be required. Or an I-Frame to display info from a stand-alone page.
It's a matter of knowing how to insert the bits you need into NOF.
