Widgets Head Script : Widget configuration script to be placed in the custom code section of your website's head

Status
colourRed
titleDeprecated

The script configures various widgets such as FeaturedListings, Listings, Compare, PropertyDetails, SavedListings and SearchBar

Avoid Changing Configs Structure:

  • Any changes to the configuration code structure should be avoided to ensure consistency and functionality

Widget Keys Are Unique:

  • Each widget in the script is identified by a unique key (e.g., featured-listings-1, searchbar-1). These keys are crucial for correctly loading the widget configurations on your site.

Do Not Just Change the Widget Key:

  • Altering the key without making corresponding changes in the widget html element will prevent the widget configuration from loading.

Info

If You Must Change the Widget Key:

  • Update the HTML Element: If you change a widget key in the script, ensure you also update the key in the HTML element on the corresponding page of your site. The key in the script and the HTML element must match exactly.

  • Adjusting for Multiple Widgets: When dealing with multiple instances of a widget, make sure each instance has a unique key and that the HTML elements on your pages use these correct keys.

Handling Multiple Instances of the Same Widget:

  • If you have multiple instances of the same type of widget (e.g., multiple Listings widgets), the widget keys will be slightly different (e.g., "listings-1", "listings-2"). For each added widget, make sure to add a new key with the corresponding configs to the configuration script.

  • The only widget that can be placed multiple times on the same page is the FeaturedListings. Avoid adding multiple instances of any other widgets on a single page. However, you can create as many instances of other widgets as you like for different pages. For example, you can have multiple Listings pages, but only one Listings widget should be used per page

3. Customizing Widget Parameters

  • API Keys and Client Information:

    • Code Block
      languagejson

    • walkScoreKey is optional . if no key provided this section is removed from the property details page.

    • Set the listingsPage value to the address of the page where your corresponding widget is placed. If you have multiple instances of the widget, set this value to the most important one, as this value will be used by other widgets for navigation between widgets.
