Thunder: Change your Dynamic Content Selector to choose from generic content

1. Open the template of your widget designer.
   For example WidgetDesigner.ascx.
2. Find the FlatSelector, which is used to select your dynamic content:
   <sitefinity:FlatSelector ID="DynItemSelector" runat="server" ItemType="Telerik.Sitefinity.DynamicTypes.Model.TestModule.TestModuleItem"

             DataKeyNames="Id" ShowSelectedFilter="true" AllowPaging="false" PageSize="10"

             AllowSearching="false" ShowProvidersList="false" InclueAllProvidersOption="true"

             ServiceUrl="~/Sitefinity/Services/DynamicModules/Data.svc/?itemType= Telerik.Sitefinity.DynamicTypes.Model.TestModule.TestModuleItem">

           <DataMembers>

             <sitefinity:DataMemberInfo runat="server" Name="Title" IsSearchField="false"

                 HeaderText="Title">

               <span>{{Title}}</span>

             </sitefinity:DataMemberInfo>

           </DataMembers>

         </sitefinity:FlatSelector>
3. Change the following properties of the widget:
   
   • ItemType 
   • ServiceUrl.
   • The following table contains a list of the possible values for these properties:
