Generating the Shortcode

Back to top

 

The next step is to generate the shortcode which is added to your Drupal web page. If you have any experience with the Checkfront Booking Widget, then you recognize that the process involved now is more or less the same.

Once you've generated the code, however, you are presented with one basic line of code. The more complicated code is handled by the plugin you just installed.
 
Now, if you like, you can simply go ahead and add the shortcode [checkfront] to your web page. When published, this shows the booking portal as configured in your Checkfront backend.

You can, however, manipulate the shortcode to create a more refined look for the portal. If you are experienced with shortcodes, then you can scroll down this page to see the arguments which can be added to produce certain results. If you're not sure about that, though, then the Shortcode Generator is the way to go.

Drupal Generate

Just below the Setup box, where you entered the Host URL, is another box labeled Getting Started. Click on the Shortcode Generator button.

Alternatively, you can access the same Shortcode Generator through your Checkfront backend. To do this, go to Manage > Integrations > Website Integration. Hover your mouse over the Drupal tile and click to select it.  

This brings you directly to the Drupal Shortcode Generator.

You notice at the bottom of the wizard, just above the Generate Code button, there’s a link to Show more options. These are slightly more advanced features and we look at those a bit further down the page. For now, though, let’s take a look at the basic set of configurable options available.
