Widget Theme Customizations

Widget CSS Files

The css files that the widgets use are located here:

• /com_jreviews_addons/widgetfactory/views/themes/widgetfactory/theme_css/widget.css
• /com_jreviews_addons/widgetfactory/views/themes/widgetfactory/theme_css/widget_custom_styles.css

It is not recommended to customize the widget.css file. Instead add your custom override styles to the widget_custom_styles.css file.

If you already have a custom JReviews theme inside the jreviews_overrides folder, you can copy the file there. This would be the full path:

Joomla

/templates/jreviews_overrides /views/themes/your_theme/theme_css/widget_custom_styles.css

WordPress

/jreviews_overrides /views/themes/your_theme/theme_css/widget_custom_styles.css

By default, the widget container doesn't have any styles (borders or backgrounds):

You can add a background and a border to the .jrWidgetLayout class name in the widget_custom_styles.css file, for example:

.jrWidgetLayout {
    border: 1px solid #ddd;
    background: #f5f5f5;
    padding: 10px;
}

If you want to add your site's logo to the widget, the quickest solution is to add the logo image to the Widget Layout parameter in the Widget Manager, for example:

A widget with a logo would look like this:

Alternatively, you could add the logo as css background of the .jrWidgetLayout class or add the logo directly to the widget's theme file.

Widget Theme Files

The theme file that the „Many Listings“ widgets use is this:

Joomla

• /com_jreviews_addons/widgetfactory/views/themes/widgetfactory/widget_listings/many.thtml

WordPress

• /wp-content/plugins/jreviews_addons/widgetfactory/views/themes/widgetfactory/widget_listings/many.thtml

The theme file that the „One Listing“ widgets use is this:

Joomla

• /com_jreviews_addons/widgetfactory/views/themes/widgetfactory/widget_listings/one.thtml.

WordPress

• /wp-content/plugins/jreviews_addons/widgetfactory/views/themes/widgetfactory/widget_listings/one.thtml

Both of those files can be placed in your custom JReviews theme inside the jreviews_overrides folder, this would be the paths:

Joomla

• /templates/jreviews_overrides /views/themes/your_theme/widget_listings/many.thtml
• /templates/jreviews_overrides /views/themes/your_theme/widget_listings/one.thtml

WordPress

• /jreviews_overrides /views/themes/your_theme/widget_listings/many.thtml
• /jreviews_overrides /views/themes/your_theme/widget_listings/one.thtml

You can have multiple suffixed theme files if you want each widget to use its own theme file. In the widget's Theme Suffix paramater enter the suffix (i.e. _hotels) and then create a many_hotels.thtml theme file.

The WidgetFactory theme comes with one suffixed theme file by default:

• /widget_listings/one_badge.thtml
