My first widget. (tongue)

There are other widgets that this one uses (indicated by the red rectangles in the image); I am in the process of documenting those also.

Widget Use

The Product Search with Preview widget displays each product and related elements, such as category, image, title, price, and so on, that matches the search text typed into the Product Search with Preview prompt box.


Example of Widget Use

Following is an example of the widget in use.

For each widget called by the Product Search with Preview widget, we have changed its display text to help you envisage where they are used.


Where can the Widget be placed?

The widget can be used in the following templates:

  • All Templates
    • We recommend adding the Product Search with Preview widget to the Theme Layout template in place of the standard Product Search.

DescriptionA short description of the widget's use.We recommend this field be updated so the widget's purpose is clear at a glance from the template page.4.13.00
Layer

The layer the widget is valid for.

Required.

The layering technology allows for the content to be shown to specific audiences.

This is handy if the content is only valid for a certain type of user, or if the same widget is required for more than one audience, but different configuration is needed.

The widget can be added to the zone more than once and the layer feature can determine which audience can see each widget.

Search Place HolderThis text displays as a prompt in the Search Preview box. 

If you use the Product Search with Preview widget along with the standard product list search, then we recommend using this prompt to advise the customer of what they should expect when they type a search word or phrase into this field, such as "Product Search with Preview".

The default value is Product Search.

Number of products to displayThis value determines how many products will display in the drop-down view as the customer types in the search keywords.

This option shows the category tree level of each product that matches the keyword search.

Required.


Referring to the widget image, a value of 3 will display the top-level category and two levels below: Sports & Outdoors > Camping > Tents.

A value of 2 would display: Camping > Tents.

A value of 1 would display: Tents and Tennis Equipment. In this instance, the system displays more than one first-level category as the products displayed are in multiple categories.

The default value is 3.
