You may want to add additional Zones on your site. This can easily be done by adding Magento "Widgets". Our extension add a new widget type called "PureClarity Zone".
You can create Zone widgets using the standard Magento process for creating widgets (see example below).
The Zone widget has the following options:
Zone ID
This is the ID of the Zone, and should match what is configured in your campaigns in PureClarity. If it does not match any campaigns, no content will show.
Fallback Block Id
If the Zone isn’t populated by PureClarity when the page is rendered, your custom static block will be insert instead.
To get the ID of a block, go to Content > Blocks in Magento admin, then on the grid displayed there, you'll see the IDs listed in the "Identifier" column
Zone Display Mode
This controls what devices this Zone shows on, there a 3 modes:
Default - Will display on all devices
Mobile Only - Will only show on mobile devices
Desktop Only - Will only show on mobile devices
Apply Margin
When enabled, a 10px margin will be added above and below the Zone content area.
CSS Custom Classes
Add any custom css classes you may want/need, to help the Zone fit in with your theme.
Example - Adding a Search Results Zone
As an example of how to add your own Zone widgets to your site, let’s add a Zone to the Search Results Page.
1: Navigate to Content > Widgets. Click "Add Widget".
2: Choose “PureClarity Zone” from the "Type" drop down.
3: Choose your current theme from the "Design Theme" drop down.
This needs to be the theme that is active on the store view PureClarity is installed on.
4: Click "Continue".
5: Configure the "Storefront Properties" of the Widget
Widget Title
Add a title for your reference, such as “PC Zone SR-01” to represent a Search Results Zone.
Assign to Store Views
Choose the store view to show this Zone on, this should match the store view that PureClarity is installed on.
Sort Order
If you have other widgets in the same place, this can be used to determine which shows first
6: Configure the "Layout Updates" for the Widget
Layout updates are used by Magento to determine the positioning of a Widget with in this site. In our example we're going to add the Zone to the top of the Search Results page
Press the “Add Layout Update” button
Select “Specified Page” from the “Display on” dropdown menu
Choose “Quick Search Form” in the "Page" dropdown and “Before Main Columns” in the "Container" dropdown.
This should give you a layout update that looks like this:
6: Click "Save"
Hit the Save button at the top of the page to save the Widget.
Your Custom Zone Widget is now configured and ready to use.
As Magento uses caches to help the frontend run faster, so you will need to clear the following caches in order for your Zone to appear on the frontend of your site:
Layouts
Blocks HTML output
Page Cache
When adding new Zone widgets you may need to clear the Magento cache to see it appear.
If you have a campaign set up in PureClarity admin, your Zone can now be seen on the search results page!
