This plugin integrates the Checkfront Online Booking system with the popular publishing platform Movable Type.
The Checkfront Movable Type plugin is compatible with MT version 4 and 5.
Installation
Download the Movable Type plugin and copy the Checkfront folder to your plugin directory. Login to your website, and make sure the plugin is active under the MT plugin menu.
Click on Settings, and supply your Checkfront host name (this is your unique Checkfront URL, eg: yourcompany.checkfront.com).
Save your settings
Use
At this point it is assumed you have already configured your Checkfront inventory and settings. If not first login to your Checkfront account and do so.
Once the plugin is installed and setup, you can embed an interactive booking system into your templates and widgets using any of these tags:
<$mt:Checkfront>
Display the standard booking interface.<$mt:Checkfront display="calendar">
Display navigation / availability calendar only.<$mt:Checkfront category_id=1>
Display the standard booking interface and only show category 1 from your iventory.<$mt:Checkfront item_id=2>
Display the standard booking interface and only show item .
Note: if you are using the calendar widget on a page that doesn't also have a booking window, you'll need to specify a central booking url in the plugin settings for Checkfront. Clicking on a date in the calendar will forward the user to that url to make a booking for the requested date.
