CARD WIDGETS
Previous widgets such as “Featured listings”, “Popular events”, among others, were replaced by new fully customizable “Cards” widgets. Now it’s up to you which listings, events, blogs… will be shown on your widget. It’s possible to either choose the items yourself or choose the conditions to arrange them.
- Each widget conditions can be customized, including:
1. Ability to change the widget title and the label of the “view more” link;
2. Ability to select the module that will be displayed on the widget;
3. Show items from specific level, categories or location;
4. Ability to choose the order criteria;
