Drupal Plugin: Working with the Shortcode

Generating the Shortcode

Back to top

 

 

 

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.

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.

Adding some of the arguments from the list lower down this page will control how the booking portal appears and the information it contains. Below is an example of what this shortcode might look like:  

Following is a list of arguments that can be added to the basic [checkfront] shortcode to change the look and behaviour of your booking portal.  

Show specific items: [checkfront item_id="3,8,37"] Show specific categories:[checkfront category_id="2,3"] Limit upcoming events to specific category: [checkfront filter_category_id="3"]  

Tabs as categories: [checkfront options=tabs] Hide search and calendar: [checkfront options=hidesearch] Together, they would look like this: [checkfront options=tabs,hidesearch]  

Include an automatic discount code: [checkfront discount_code="insert_code"]  

Font colour: [checkfront style="color: #000000"] Font family: [checkfront style="font-family: arial"] Background colour: [checkfront style="background-color: #873333"] Together, they would look like this: [checkfront style="color: #000000; background-color: #873333; font-family: arial"] 

Fast forward to specific date: [checkfront date="20141224"] Add an end date: [checkfront end_date="20140131"  

Tracking ID: [checkfront tid="promo-page"] See campaign tracking for more information on using tracking ids.
