Generating the Shortcode
Back to topThat's it now! You should have by now selected all the previous options that make the most sense in terms of your requirements. It's now time to generate the shortcode for your website.
Click on the Generate Code button and copy the resulting shortcode to your clipboard.
Once you've pasted the shortcode into your web page, publish it and check out your results.
Where to Place the Shortcode
Back to top
With the shortcode pasted to your clipboard, head back over to Drupal and locate/create the page/post in which you wish to embed the booking portal.
- Place the shortcode wherever you would like the portal to appear. This may be before, after, or somewhere within your page content.
- Make sure you select Full HTML from the Text Format field.
Shortcode With Arguments
