Advanced Options: General
Appearance
- Widget size Widgets will automatically resize to
best fit the surrounding page whenever the page is loaded. Great for
libraries with mobile-responsive sites! Choose Manual to set your own
height and widths. Good if there’s extra white space at the bottom of
your widget. - Display Sorting Select in what order you want items
to show in the widget. Sorting randomly will show a different selection
of items every time the widget loads. Other options are alphabetical by
title or author, or date of publication (recent first). - Easy Share Icon Select On to let anyone take a
screenshot off your widget through the Easy Share button that will
appear on the bottom right corner of your widget. Turn off and make
screenshots yourself within widget creation. - Custom Cover URL Augment our existing cover service
with your own. URLs should look something like
http://www.yourcoverservicehere.com/UNBOUNDREPLACE, where UNBOUNDREPLACE
is replaced with the ISBN of the cover - Cover Sizing Select whether covers should have forced width, height, or be cropped squares.
Link to Catalog
- Custom Link URL Add a different URL than your
regular ISBN linking URL if items in this widget should go a different
destination. Remember to use the “XXX” configuration. Example: a catalog
that requires a different search URL for ISSNs or UPCs rather than
ISBNs. - Opens Choose how you want covers to link into your catalog, by going directly to that page or launching in a new window.
- Use Popup Box Choose to show a popup detail box
containing cover, title, author, and in many cases summary, as well as a
link to the item in the library. Turn this setting off if clicking a
book and going to the catalog directly is desired.
More Advanced Options
- Custom HTML/CSS to output Add your own HTML or CSS
to the widget to help adapt it to your site. See sample CSS classes and
ids in the purple floating box. - Internal Notes These are internal notes about the widget, viewable from the main list of widgets.
Advanced Options: By Style Type
Carousel
- Scroll count How many items to scroll forward when the widget advances through the items.
- Maximum items How many items to load into the widget at a given time.
- Automatic Scrolling If “on,” the widget will advance forward a few titles at a time without clicking the arrows.
3-D Carousel
- Automatic Scrolling 3-D carousels can be still, or advance one item at a constant interval. Determine that with the drop down menu, here.
- Number of Covers Most widgets will work well with auto covers. Adjust up or down in this setting.
