no edit summary
Generate the code for the widget you want to us in SETTINGS -> BOOKING WIDGETS. Paste it into your html and add the following code.
'''yourURL''' is your landing page URL on your web site.
** Links
Add the following to the URL or HREF
&redirect=<nowiki>http://yourURL</nowiki>
** Booking Box and other HTML forms
Add a hidden parameter as follows between the <nowiki><form></nowiki> and <nowiki></form></nowiki> tags
<input type='hidden' name='redirect' value='<nowiki>http://yourURL</nowiki>'>
** Wordpress
You will will need to adjust the SETTINGS -> Beds24 in your WordPress backend.
This requires plugin version 1.3 or greater.
Set the default number of nights and adults to '''not specified''' so they can be set by the incoming redirect.
** Your own page
This will work on any page hosted on the same or a different domain as the Starting Widget.
Include the booking page in an iFrame on your page. Make sure you are not specifying the number of guests or nights in the iFrame SRC.
* How it works
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.
