Booking Widgets
This page is about the menu  (SETTINGS)  BOOKING ENGINE > BOOKING WIDGETS

1 Generate a widget using the widget designer

  • Choose the widget you want to generate.
  • Customise the settings you want to adjust.
  • Click on "Refresh" to see a preview.
  • Click on "Get Code" and copy the provided code snippet.
  • Go go the page on your web site where you want to add the widget and paste it into the HTML. If you do not know how to do this check the help for the CMS or sitebuilder you are using how to add HTML to your site or ask your web designer to do this for you.

The datepicker in the widgets will display up to one year in advance.

If you want to display multiple widgets on one page make sure you to remove the first part of the code for the second widget. Paste the code for the second widget in from this line:

<!-- Place this div on your page where you want the widget to show -->

The widgets require your page to have UTF-8 language encoding.

1.1 If you do not have JQuery

If you do not have jQuery and jQueryUI installed on your web page add the following to the <head> section of your page.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

1.2 If you do not have JQueryUI

The widget will attempt to self load jqueryUI, if this is not working properly or causing conflicts you can add it to your page after the jquery script.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.12.1/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css"><script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

If you want to optimize the loading sizes, it should be enough just to load the JQueryUI datepicker modules.

The widget can be forced to not attempt to load it's own JQueryUI by setting the following parameter.

loadJQueryUI: false,

1.3 Wordpress

If you use the Wordpress Plugin please use these instructions.

1.4 Opening a page on your site containing the booking page in an iFrame

So the date and occupancy parameters are passed to the iFrame, enter your page in the "Redirect URL" parameter

1.5.2 Exchange text on labels

Required Skills: HTML

You can exchange the text on the labels of widgets generated to with the widget designer.

1. Generate the widget and click on "Get Code".

2. Download the Javascript from the widget code (https://media.xmlcal.com/widget/1.00/js/bookWidget.min.js). Seach for the label you want to change. Change the text and save the Javascript file.

3. Upload the changed Javascript file to your web space.

4. Change the link to the Javascript in your widget code to use the Javascript from your own web space.

5. Paste the amended widget code into the HTML of your web site.

2 Embedded or link to your booking page

  • Code to embed your booking page as an Iframe into your web site can be generated under (SETTINGS) BOOKING PAGE > BOOKING WIDGETS > EMBEDDED IFRAME
  • A link to your booking page can be generated under (SETTINGS) BOOKING PAGE > BOOKING WIDGETS > LINKS
  • An URL linking to your booking page can be generated under (SETTINGS) BOOKING PAGE >BOOKING WIDGETS > QUICK URL
  • A button can be generated under (SETTINGS) BOOKING PAGE > BOOKING WIDGETS > BOOKING BUTTON
  • Code for an enquiry form generated under (SETTINGS) BOOKING PAGE > BOOKING WIDGETS > ENQUIRY FORM

3 Troubleshooting

3.1 Booking page does not open the dates and or number of guests selected in the widget

You are defining these parameters in the URL in the embedded Iframe. Remove these parameters from the Iframe URL: &numnight=2&numadult=2&advancedays=2

3.2 Problem installing widgets on Wix

Other than almost all other web sites Wix does not support JQuery. You will need to check with Wix if they allow you to add JQuery to your page. If Wix will not allow you to add JQuery you can use a button, links or our legacy widgets. The legacy widgets are available via SETTINGS-BOOKING PAGE-WIDGETS-BOOKING BUTTON.

3.3 Console Error "bookWidget is not a function"

It seem the page does not accept the word Jquery. Exchange this:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {

jQuery('#bookWidget-44005-75744-0-1589444240').bookWidget({

propid:75744,

formAction:'https://beds24.com/booking.php',

widgetLang:'en',

widgetType:'BookingStrip' });


with this:

$(document).ready(function() {

$('#bookWidget-44005-75744-0-1589444240').bookWidget({

propid:75744,

formAction:'https://beds24.com/booking.php',

widgetLang:'en',

widgetType:'BookingStrip' });
