no edit summary
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.
'''1. Create the landing page'''
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.
There are iFrame widgets available in SETTINGS -> BOOKING WIDGETS.
If you are using '''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.
'''2. Create the Starting Widget'''
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 which has your Beds24 booking page embedded. ** '''Links'''
Add the following to the URL or HREF
Remove the '''target="_blank" ''' value from the link if you want the new page to stay in the same window.
** '''Booking Box and other HTML forms'''
Add a hidden parameter as follows between the <nowiki><form></nowiki> and <nowiki></form></nowiki> tags
Remove the '''target='_blank' ''' from the form tag if you want the new page to open in the same window.
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.
