Story

A tap-through story card that pulls recommended articles, mixes in configured actions, and lets users move through items without leaving the page.

Story example

Introduction

The Story widget renders a single-story viewer that fetches recommended articles from the SyncCMS recommendation endpoint and combines them with any `actions` configured in the experience.

Items are shown as a large image card with progress indicators, a title, and a read-more CTA. Clicking the left or right side of the card moves backward or forward through the loaded items.

The request is lazy-loaded when the widget comes into view, and the next image is preloaded so transitions feel more immediate once the story has started.

Features

1Recommendation Feed Plus Actions
The widget merges recommended articles returned by SyncCMS with any manually configured actions, then shuffles the combined set before display.
2Tap-Or-Click Navigation
Users can move between items by pressing the left or right half of the story surface, while the read-more button remains a direct outbound link.
3In-View Loading
The recommendation request waits until the widget enters view, which avoids doing the work too early on long pages.
4Theme And Height Controls
The integration supports a configurable height and a dark theme flag so the viewer can adapt to different placements.

Integration

The story widget requires SyncCMS credentials in `window.UNISIGNIN_CONFIG` and an experience config that provides any additional `actions`. The container itself only needs the experience ID and optional display attributes.

  • `data-exp-id` selects the experience config.
  • `data-height` controls the desktop story height.
  • `data-theme="dark"` switches the body-level dark story styling on.
<div
  data-exp="unis-story"
  data-exp-id="your-exp-id"
  data-height="500"
  data-theme="dark"
></div>
