Custom Widgets

Custom Widgets

Unlike Global Widgets and Property Widgets, Custom Widgets are not created automatically. These widgets are designed for users who need a tailored display of reviews, allowing for greater flexibility and control.

Creating a Custom Widget





To create a Custom Widget: Click on “New Widget”.
  1. Assign a name to the widget.
  2. Proceed with customization just like any other widget.
Once created, the Custom Widget follows the same structure as other widgets, with three main configuration sections:

Configuring a Custom Widget

Design (Basic settings)

  1. Modify basic settings such as the title and primary color.
  2. Custom Widgets can also be renamed or deleted from this page, as they are created by the user.




Template 

  1. Select the widget template or type that best fits your needs.
  2. Adjust the position where you would like to display the widget.




Reviews

Custom Widgets include an additional configuration option that allows users to select which properties to include or exclude within the widget. You can also adjust the sorting and limit of reviews to display and the booking channel.



Selection Options:
  1. Include all properties → Functions like a Global Widget, displaying reviews from all properties.
  2. Include a single property → Works similarly to a Property Widget, but allows unique styling and layout customization.
  3. Include multiple properties → Useful for grouping reviews from selected properties, ideal for hotels or shared review sources.
  4. Exclude specific properties → Enables hiding selected properties for various reasons, such as low ratings, outdated reviews, or different business purposes.
By leveraging these customization options, Custom Widgets provide the highest level of flexibility, ensuring that review displays align perfectly with user needs.

Installation

Custom widgets are installed in the same way as global widgets.
Once the universal code has been added to your website (in the <head> section), you simply need to specify on which pages each widget should appear.
This setup allows you to control the visibility of individual widgets based on the URL or page where you want them to display.




Alternatively, if you’re unable to access or edit the <head> section of your website, you can use the alternative Standalone codes.



Each custom widget has its own unique alternative code, which you can place directly where you want the widget to appear on the page. This method does not require the universal code and is especially useful for users with limited technical access to their site’s global settings.
