Content Widget

With the Content Widget you can display another content or loop inside of 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 >> Widget >> Main
