Examples
Giving The Widget A Data Source
Without specifying a data source for the questions, the widget will show all questions for your store. You can provide either a Product ID or a Group ID to use that as the data source for the questions.
Product Widget
If you are using liquid use the following snippet:
<div data-oke-questions-widget data-oke-reviews-product-id="shopify-{{ product.id }}"></div>
The general format for other frameworks is:
<div
data-oke-questions-widget
data-oke-reviews-product-id="shopify-<PRODUCT_ID>"
></div>
Group Widget
Learn more about Okendo Groups here:
If you are using liquid or general frameworks use the following snippet:
<div data-oke-questions-widget data-oke-reviews-group-id="<GROUP_ID>"></div>
Group ID is found in the Okendo Admin URL for a given group as described in the table above.
Specifying a Product To Ask About
When the widget is in all-reviews or grouped mode an explicit Product ID is needed to show the "Ask a Question" button.
If you are using liquid use the following snippet:
<div
data-oke-questions-widget
data-oke-reviews-ask-question-product-id="shopify-{{ product.id }}"
></div>
The general format for other frameworks is:
<div data-oke-questions-widget data-oke-reviews-ask-question-product-id="shopify-<PRODUCT_ID>"></div>
