[[Category:How toLegacy_Widgets]][[Category:<div class="heading">Redirect Legacy Booking Widget to an Embedded Booking Page]]</div> This page explains how to redirect a booking widget to an embedded booking page. <div class="warning">{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} This method is not supported any longer. You can set the URL using the widget designer in SETTINGS ->BOOKING ENGINE-> BOOKING WIDGETS </div> [[Category<span style="color:Widgets]]#f3e504; font-size: 250%;" >{{#fas:lightbulb}} </span> '''Requires:''' Knowledge of HTML
By default a booking widget opens your secure booking page in a new window. You can add a redirect so the widget opens an embedded booking page on your own website. You can also change the widget so it stays in the same window.
'''2. Create the Starting Widget''' Generate the code for the widget you want to us in SETTINGS ->BOOKING ENGINE-> BOOKING WIDGETS. Paste it into your html and add the following code. '''''yourURL''''' is your landing page URL on your web site which has your Beds24 booking page embedded. ** '''Links'''
Add the following to the URL or HREF
&redirect=<nowiki>http://yourURL</nowiki>
If your URL contains & characters you will need to first url encode it with a tool like http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/ Remove the '''target="_blank" ''' value from the link if you want the new page to stay in the same window. *'''Booking Box, Booking Button, Booking Strip and other HTML forms''' Add a hidden parameter as follows between the <nowiki><form></nowiki> and <nowiki></form></nowiki> tag <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.yoururl.com">Remove the '''target='_blank' ''' from the form tag if you want the new page to open in the same window. Example: <nowiki><div style="color: #2f2f2f; font-size:14px; width: 100%; padding-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; text-align: center; background: #ffcc66; ..... <input type='hidden' name='redirectreferer' value='BookingStrip'><nowiki/span><input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://yourURLmylandingpage.com/"></form></div> <script type='text/javascript'>var dateNow = new Date();var dateFirst = new Date();dateFirst.setDate(dateFirst.getDate()+14);var numMonths = 24;var selectMonth = dateFirst.getMonth()+dateFirst.getYear()*12-dateNow.getMonth()-dateNow.getYear()*12;if (selectMonth < 0) {selectMonth=selectMonth+12;}var selectDay = dateFirst.getDate();var theList = document.getElementById('fdate944537_monthyear_propid10594');var theDayList = document.getElementById('fdate944537_date_propid10594');var len = theList.length;var i;for (i=len; i>=0; i--) {theList.options[i]=null;}var dateNow = new Date();var monthNow = dateNow.getMonth() + 1;var yearNow = dateNow.getFullYear();var monthName = new Array(12);monthName[0] = 'Jan';monthName[1] = 'Feb';monthName[2] = 'Mar';monthName[3] = 'Apr';monthName[4] = 'May';monthName[5] = 'Jun';monthName[6] = 'Jul';monthName[7] = 'Aug';monthName[8] = 'Sep';monthName[9] = 'Oct';monthName[10] = 'Nov';monthName[11] = 'Dec';var thisYear = yearNow;var thisMonth = monthNow;for (i=0; i<numMonths; i++) {if (thisMonth > 12) {thisMonth = 1;thisYear = thisYear + 1;}var thisMonthLead = thisMonth;if (thisMonth < 10) {thisMonthLead = '0' + thisMonth;}theList.options[i] = new Option(monthName[thisMonth-1]+' '+thisYear, thisYear+'-'+thisMonthLead);if (i == selectMonth) {theList.options[i].selected = true;}thisMonth = thisMonth + 1;}theDayList.options[selectDay-1].selected = true;</script></nowiki> *'''Availability Calendar''' Add a parameter as follows between the <nowiki><form></nowiki> and <nowiki></form></nowiki>tags
This will work on any page hosted on the same or a different domain as the starting widget.
The Starting Widget opens the booking page with the redirect parameter.
The redirect parameter causes the booking page to store the included information such as checkin date and number of guests in a session and then immediately redirects the user back to the page specified with the redirect parameter.
If the booking page is included in an iFrame on the redirect page it will open with the values from the Starting Widget stored in the session.
The Iframe cannot redirect the user to secure payment due to the security settings in browsers. If you want to take deposit payments go to SETTINGS -> BOOKING ENGINE -> BOOKING PAGE->BEHAVIOUR and set "Open in new Window" to "On Secure Payment".
