LayerThe layer the widget is valid for.

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.

Category URL Prefix The results URL used to list the category clicked.

When you type a keyword into the Search with Preview prompt box, a hierarchical list of categories will display down the left-hand side of the results view. If you click one of these categories, the Category URL Prefix denotes the top category from which the results will display. 

For instance:

  • Our site domain is https://all-products-r-us and we set the category URL prefix value to categoryURLprefix.
  • We run a search that results in a category hierarchy of Sports & Outdoors > Camping > Tents.
  • We click on Camping to display everything in that category.
  • The search results will begin from: https://all-products-r-us/categoryURLprefix/sports-and-outdoors/camping

This value might be useful as an interim measure if your site has undergone a restructure.

The default value is empty, resulting in the URL following the product category hierarchy.

Always Expand Top Level? Use this button to automatically (or not) unfold the product categories from the top to sub-levels.

Default is ON.

Always Expand Sub Levels?

Use this button to automatically (or not) unfold the sub-category hierarchy.

If this button is ON, when you click the down arrow to display product sub-categories, then all sub-levels will unfold.

If this button is OFF, then you must click to unfold each product sub-category.

If this button is OFF, but the Always Expand Top Level? button is ON, then the top two levels expand, but you must click the down-arrow to display the lowest sub-category. 

Default is ON.

The default is "{0}" Categories, where "{0}" displays the keyword.
