Lightspeed platformHeader and footer
Some elements show up on (mostly) all pages, especially in the header and footer. The following fixed elements that are common on most pages and which are adjustable, are (apart from the usually adjustable elements like logo and cart icon):
Header:
- USP messages (as slider at the top of all pages) directly to setting
- display header ("sticky" with logo and cart, or not)
Footer:
- brands slider
- hallmarks
- Kiyoh widget, Webwinkelkeur widget & social media boxes
- company/contact info
Settings header
USP slider:
This is an area to show your custom USP messages, maximum 3. They are shown at the top of all pages, horizontally. However, if the display gets smaller, they will automatically be displayed in a carousel.
To show your own USP messages, first you need to set up a translation key via "Translations", 1 for each USP message. This is needed so that they can be set up for multiligual use. Setting up a translation key goes as follows (for USP #1):
- In the back office, go to Content > Translations
- Make a new translation key by clicking the green button (at the top), enter the name "USPmessage_1" into the "Key" input field (mind the use of capitals)
- Leave the dropdown "Existing translation" empty (-----------)
- Click on "Save"
- In the next screen, at "Translations", you then enter the different translations for the USP texts, per language (depends on how many languages your webshop is offering)
- Click on "Save & back"; the translation key with its translations is now stored.
Repeat these steps for the other USP messages (maximum 3), but then use "USPmessage_2" and "USPmessage_3" as translation keys.
Settings footer
Brand slider
The brand slider is displayed at the bottom of all pages (if used at all). This slider can show up to 10 brand logos max. (sorted alphabetically). This order cannot be altered.
Hallmarks
The hallmark images must be uploaded first via the backoffice, through the leftside sidebar menu "Files" (bottom). After you've uploaded the hallmark logo, you return to Design > Hallmarks; there you enter the hallmark name, plus the url to the hallmark website etcetera, and you link it through the green +icon at the top to the uploaded hallmark logo image.
Kiyoh and Webwinkelkeur widgets
By default these widgets are build in. The only thing you need to do, is activating them in the back office if you want to show them. These widgets will be displayed in the footer at the bottom, next to the Facebook and/or Twitter widgets (if activate). You can activate both (see example below), then they will be shown in a smaller column, or if just one of them is activated then the column is expanded.
