The Lender Library is an unusual page. It was once a hidden page on broker websites that was used almost exclusively by brokers. It has since become a standard public page within the website framework. The article in our blog titled "Mortgage Broker Lender Document and Media API, and Lender Documents Elementor Block" should be referenced for a bigger-picture understanding of how the library works and how it functions.
If we were to screenshot an entire page, it would (in the real world) translate to a document 40-feet long, so it's best to review the demo library page on this website. There are multiple features on the page you'll have to look out for, such as tooltips and modals.
The Elementor Lender Library Block
The Elementor block may be used to render the entire document library (or all documents types from all lenders, as we've done on the Library page), or you may selectively return document types from select lenders. Search for 'Lender Documents' in Telementor, drag the block onto your page, and define the options. The result will be returned immediately.
Pictured: Search for 'Lender Documents' in Telementor, drag the block onto your page, and define the options. The result will be returned immediately.
You may optionally select specific lender and specific document types (as we've done in the pictured example).
Lender Document Shortcode
Standard shortcode is most suited when rendering documents in an article (such as this one). Attributes of lenders and types are used to filter the returned data. For example, the shortcode of [bm_lender_library lenders="wbc" types="CRED_AND_CHRG_CARDS" logo="no"] returns the following (we've indented the results):
