Widget Use

Displays a product search with the option to specify results from a particular category. 

If the user does not select a category, the standard search results (from all categories) will apply.


Example of Widget Use


Where can the Widget be placed?

The widget can be used in the following templates:

  • All Templates
    • Recommended placement: Theme Layout Template, in place of standard Product Search


Widget Options

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.All
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.
