    VK Games and Apps Widget for Joomla
    Not sure how to add a VKontakte app or game widget to your Joomla website? Our "VK App Widget" extension makes it easy to embed widgets in just a few clicks and without any programming knowledge!

    Description & Purpose

    VK App Widget - a module for CMS Joomla 3, 4, 5 and 6 that helps to add in a few clicks a widget to the site with information about the application or game from the social network VK.

    You have a need to display information about your applications or games on the site with a button to go to the social network, then this module is for you. You will not have to store information about your application on your site, all data is received through the public API of the social network VK. Storing information on the side of VK will allow you not to load the database of the site.

    The module has only a few options and fields that make publishing a widget as easy as possible. The first option allows you to connect the public API of the VK social network, which is necessary for widgets to work. The next field will require you to enter the application or game identifier assigned in the VK social network. The next option allows you to select the type of information displayed in the widget.

    Три варианта отображения данных в виджете:

    1. Card - the widget will display the main image of the application, the name of the application, the placement category, the number of participants in the application and the «Play» button, by clicking on which the visitor will be redirected to the application page in the social network.
    2. Members - The widget will display the main image of the application, the name of the application, the placement category, the number of participants in the application, photos of participants and the "Play" button.
    3. Button - this option will simply display a "Play" button, which will direct to the page with the application in the social network VK.

    Additional two fields will help to customize the width of the widget and the height of the button. These fields are available only when a certain value is selected in the "View" field. The widget width setting is available for the widget view - members, and the button height for the widget view - button. Module features allow you to publish an unlimited number of widgets with the application using the standard Joomla function - cloning.
