Highlighting Indie Next List and Bestsellers
Q. How can I display the Indie Next List & Bestsellers widget on my site?
When you go to Site Building> Blocks, each of our Indie Next Lists have a corresponding block that can be enabled on your site. By default, the Indie Bestsellers and Indie Next List blocks are set to display on the front page of your site. The Kids Next Lists and Reading Group Guides are located in the 'Disabled' section of blocks. To turn on the blocks, select the region where you would like this block to appear, and then save changes on the blocks page.
You may notice when you click the link for 'More' on the blocks, you are taken to a page with a really neat widget:
http://yoursite.indiebound.com/indie-bestsellers
http://yoursite.indiebound.com/indie-next-list
http://yoursite.indiebound.com/kids-indie-next-list
http://yoursite.indiebound.com/reading-group-indie-next-list
Go to Site building > Menus > 'Your menu', and click the Add Item tab.
In the ’Path,' enter the portion of the address after ‘.com/’. (The corresponding path for each page is highlighted in bold, so if you are adding the Next List, the path would be 'indie-next-list.') Then, simply type a name to display to your customer, and place the link in the location of your choice within the menu. This process can be repeated for the Kobo help pages, or any other page on your site.
Tip: Tired of updating your front page? Go to Site Configuration> Site Information, and in the 'Default Front Page' box, replace 'node', with the path of the widget you would like your landing page to be.
