# Duplicate IDs when adding widget multiple times

 * Hi there,
 * whenever I add the widget multiple times on the same page, the SVG symbols are
   being added multiple times in the source code, too. This results in duplicate
   IDs for the symbols `grw-tripadvisor` and `grw-google`.
 * It would be great to have a solution so that these IDs are unique, either by 
   only adding it once when necessary or by randomize them every time they are being
   added, so that they are unique for each widget.
 * Best regards,
   Matthias
