Getting Started
This guide explains how to customize RF widgets on your website using a JavaScript configuration script. This script can be embedded in the header section of your site, whether you're using CMS platforms like Wix, Squarespace, or others. Below are steps and explanations for adjusting various widget settings.
If you encounter any discrepancies or need additional customization in the future, make sure to revisit the guide or check for the latest updates.
1. Access the Script in Your Website's Head
Access script provided to the <head> section of your website.
Refer to your platform’s documentation on how to insert custom code snippets into the <head> section
Refer to your platform’s documentation on how to insert custom code snippets into the <head> section.
the configuration code should run on all pages and with the highest priority available
Wix - Squarespace - GHL
2. Understanding the Widget Configuration
The script configures various widgets such as FeaturedListings
, Listings
, Compare
, PropertyDetails
, SavedListings
and SearchBar
<script src="https://static.realtyfeed.com/index.js"></script> <script> window.rfWidgets = window.rfWidgets || {}; window.rfWidgets.config = { apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY", clientID: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID", walkScoreKey: "WALKSCORE_API_KEY", locationKey: "GOOGLE_API_KEY", mapKey: "GOOGLE_API_KEY", listingsPage: "/listings", propertyDetailsPage: "/listing", comparePage: "/compare", "featured-listings-1": { widgetType: "FeaturedListings", filters: { sortBy: { label: "Latest", value: "OriginalEntryTimestamp desc" }, city: "", propertyType: { Residential: [], Commercial: [], }, priceRange: [], listOfficeName: "", subDivision: "", ownerName: "", }, carousel: { enabled: true, infinite: true, dots: true, arrows: true, autoplay: true, autoplaySpeed: 3000, }, total: 8, propertyCard: { sqftType: "livingArea", share: true, compare: true, save: true, beds: true, baths: true, sqft: true, listOfficeName: true, subDivision: true, }, styles: { primaryColor: "358 69.4% 55.2%", }, }, "searchbar-1": { widgetType: "SearchBar", styles: { height: "48px", }, }, "listings-1": { widgetType: "Listings", total: 12, mapZoom: 10, mapCenter: { lat: 40.7128, lng: -74.006, }, propertyCard: { sqftType: "livingArea", share: true, compare: true, save: true, beds: true, baths: true, sqft: true, }, filters: { city: "", status: { enabled: true, }, listingsType: { enabled: true, listingsTypeValue: "For Any", listingsTypeEditable: true }, propertyType: { enabled: true, propertyTypeEditable: true, propertyTypeValues: { Residential: [], Commercial: [], }, }, priceRange: { enabled: true, priceRangeValue: [], }, sizeRange: { type: ["livingArea", "buildingArea"], enabled: true, }, bedBath: { enabled: true, }, listOfficeName: "", subDivision: "", }, styles: { defaultView: "", primaryColor: "358 69.4% 55.2%", }, }, "property-details-1": { widgetType: "PropertyDetails", mortgageSection: true, contactSection: true, agentSection: true, walkScore: true, greatSchools: true, details: { schools: true, beds: true, baths: true, livingArea: true, lotArea: true, buildingArea: true, garage: true, mlsArea: true, subDivision: true, driveIn: true, truckLevel: true, clearHeight: true, }, overview: ["beds", "baths", "garage", "livingArea", "lotArea"], propertyCard: { sqftType: "livingArea", share: false, compare: false, save: false, beds: true, baths: true, sqft: true, }, styles: { primaryColor: "358 69.4% 55.2%", }, }, "compare-1": { widgetType: "Compare", styles: { primaryColor: "358 69.4% 55.2%", }, }, "saved-listings-1": { widgetType: "SavedListings", propertyCard: { sqftType: "livingArea", share: true, compare: true, save: true, beds: true, baths: true, sqft: true, }, styles: { primaryColor: "358 69.4% 55.2%", }, }, }; </script>
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.
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:
apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY", clientID: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID", walkScoreKey: "WALKSCORE_API_KEY", locationKey: "GOOGLE_API_KEY", mapKey: "GOOGLE_API_KEY", listingsPage: "/listings", propertyDetailsPage: "/listing", comparePage: "/compare",
apiKey
,clientID
,mapKey
,locationKey
are necessary for API access. Do not change these values unless instructed. you can receive the values forapiKey
andclientID
from Navigating to Realtyfeed Dashboard > Api Key SettingswalkScoreKey
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.Do step above for
propertyDetailsPage
andcomparePage

4. Saving and Previewing Changes
After customizing the script, save the changes to your site's header.
Preview the site to ensure that widgets are displaying and functioning as expected.
