Customise Booking Widgets

You can use HTML and CSS to create custom solutions.

Make Your Own Booking Widget

Customise Booking Page

The booking page can be embedded in a page using an iframe or opened with a link or form. It can be fully customised in SETTINGS->BOOKING PAGE. This page gives an overview. Additional options for developers are:

  • Custom CSS can be added in SETTINGS->BOOKING PAGE ADVANCED "Custom CSS"
  • Javascript can be entered in SETTINGS->BOOKING PAGE ADVANCED "Advanced HTML Settings"
  • The API can be used to develop custom applications and solutions.
  • The behavior of the booking page can be controlled with the following parameters passed in the URL or form. URL Parameters are always added in the format name=value. To separate them, the first parameter must have a ? before it and all following parameters must have an & before them. For example if you want to change the default for the numbers of night selector to 7 nights you change the link to your booking page from

https://www.beds24.com/booking2.php?propid=2047

to

https://www.beds24.com/booking2.php?propid=2047&numnight=7


For example if you want to hide the header from

Wordpress

If you use the Beds24 Wordpress plugin booking widgets and booking page can be added via a short code. Options and help regarding customisation can be found directly in the plugin settings.


Old booking page only:

|- | hidename || yes, no || Do not show the property name heading

|- | hidedesc || yes, no || Do not show the description


External CSS file

It is possible to make the booking page use a CSS file that you supply, you must host the CSS file on a secure web server (using https:).

To do this you need to add the &cssfile parameter to the URL for the booking page, or for example the iframe SRC.

You could do this to use different styling per page or site.

For example if your css file is: https://yoursite/path/your.css

Goto this site and encode it: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/

Add the resulting parameter to the booking page URL like this: &cssfile=https%3A%2F%2Fyoursite%2Fpath%2Fyour.css

Your CSS file will be included.
