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 ENGINE-> BOOKING WIDGETS.
If you are using Example: '''Wordpress''' you will will need to adjust the SETTINGS <nowiki><iframe src ="https://.beds24.com/booking2.php?propid=2869&referer=BookingPage" width="960" height="2300" style="max-width:100%;border:none;overflow:auto;"> Beds24 in your WordPress backend<a href="https://beds24. This requires plugin version 1.3 or greatercom/booking2.php?propid=2869&referer=BookingPage" title="Book Now">Book Now</a></iframe>Set the default number of nights and adults to '''not specified''' so they can be set by the incoming redirect. </nowiki>
'''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.
&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/
*'''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='referer' value='BookingStrip'></span><input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://mylandingpage.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>

In case you enter a booking widget pasting in code use the new short code [beds24-landing] for your landing page . If you use shortcodes to open in the same windowadd widgets use [beds24-embed].
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".
