The Portal Menu Widget provides a menu bar that helps users login back in and utilize their Real Estate Portal on your website.
Leads that return to your website to use Buying Buddy will want to sign back in to their account and access their home search portal to review saved searches, alerts and properties. Once the Lead is registered or logged-in, they will access and view their Portal using the links on widgets including this Portal Menu widget.
Portal access can also be provided with several Widget Functions and links too (show the portal, show the login, show the signup form etc).
Widget Purpose
The default widget presents a menu of options for portal access, searching and other features.
The widget layout will adjust and change to fir narrow spaces such as a sidebar.
"Register Links" Alternative Layout
An alternative version of the widget shows simple register / login text links that fit perfectly into a website header. The text links shown will reflect the users current status on your website:
- When not logged in: "Register | Login"
- When logged in: "My Account | Logout"
Special Note for WordPress: To add Register Login links to your WordPress website header, you may need to add a menu item. However, shortcodes cannot be added to menus. So, so to do this you will need to use the additional HTML only version of the Register Links widget. See Register Links HTML-Only Widget for WordPress.
