Planyo online reservation system - Joomla! module
The Planyo module
First install the Joomla module (for Joomla! 1.5 or for Joomla! 1.6+). Then go to Extensions / Module Manager. Enable the module by selecting it and clicking the Enable button.
Then click on the module to edit its settings. This will open the following window:
In Basic Options, change Planyo site ID to your site's ID (you can find your site ID in the Settings section of the Planyo backend). Please see this FAQ question for the detailed explanation of all the module's parameters.
In Details / Position type planyopos. This is our custom position identifier which we will use to embed the content from planyo.
Joomla 1.6+ only: After you define the module's position (planyopos), you should also set the option Menu Assignment / Module Assignment to On all pages. This will allow the module to be embedded on any page. Of course you can change the position or module assignment option if you wish.
Click Save to save the module settings.
Now, wherever you want the reservation form to appear (e.g. inside an article), you'll need to use the following syntax to embed it:
{loadposition planyopos}

{loadposition planyopos}
After inserting the planyo form on the chosen page, this form will display, depending on usage, an availability search form (with results), a reservation form, or other Planyo-related content required for the reservation process. After choosing one of the widgets available in the next step of the tutorial (Availability search box, Calendar preview or 'Make reservation' button) you should enter the URL of the page with the planyo form (e.g. http://myserver.com/my_reservations.php) in the URL of the reservation page on your website field. This way, using any of these widgets will keep the visitor on your website (to be more specific, on the page with the planyo form) throughout the reservation process.
If you want to embed the planyo module on many pages of your website (e.g. a search page, a page with a list of your resources, or on each resource details page) you can also set the display mode of the embedded module instance by adding an attribute string to the loadposition tag. The syntax is as follows:
{loadposition planyopos,attribute_string} where attribute_string is the attribute string which you can copy/paste from some of the widgets (in the last step of settings/integrate with my website) or you can consult the FAQ question Q167. Example: {loadposition planyopos,mode=reserve&resource_id=xyz} will display the reservation form for resource xyz (where xyz is a number representing a resource ID).
