Content Widget

With the Content Widget, you can display another content or loop inside your content.

Please note:

The Content widget runs in an iframe, which inherently has performance issues on some devices due to the iframe implementation on the platform. The widget loads another instance of the entire displayer (or loop displayer with loops) within the iframe. This results in substantial extra workload on the device, especially if multiple widgets are used simultaneously.

Please use this widget while keeping performance in mind.

Properties​

Contents​

In the Content Menu, you can select the content or loop you want to display in your main content by clicking on the "Choose content" button.

  • One page function: Displays only one page of a content. After selecting a content as the source, you can choose which page you want to appear.
  • Query params: Set parameters for the widget (like top=0). These parameters are for SoftMatrix displaying.

By clicking on the "Choose content" button, the content browser appears where you can select the Loops, Contents, or Schedules you want to play. You can search for the name and type if there are multiple contents. Only one can be selected at a time.
