Popup - Direct URL to Details, Availability & Photo Tabs
Hello,
The posibility to have a direct link on my website that opens up the booking tab in a POPUP is well documented. No problem here.
However I would like to have a direct popup link to the other tabs also.
I have been able to tinker around a little bit... And I have kinda found a solution to this. However there seems to be some wierd things going on behind the popup in the item list. Can anyone give me a better URL's to open different tabs directly?
/* Here are the URL's that kinda work

Calendar Tab - Popup
Details Tab - Popup
Photo Tab - Popup

Thank you for using our forums!
You actually surprised us with this, as this is not currently a supported feature (as far as we knew), and we did not think it was possible.
But with your findings here, we did take a quick look and have found that there is a way to format these URLs so that they will work quite well. Here is an example:
https://demo.checkfront.com/reserve/?popup=1&item_id=24#@photo
So, I hope that will work for your purposes, and please let us know if you have any more questions.
All the best,

With my very limited css skills, its nice to know I am surpricing the experts hahaha....
If so this would be really helpful as it would allow clients to check availability of items without leaving the page where they are browsing.
Thanks

What you are describing is not exactly possible. There is no way to click the Checkfront link and have it generate content on the current page; the link will always navigate the user to a new page. I think what you are looking for could be done, but it would be a solution that would need to be implemented on your site, completely outside of Checkfront.
What you could do is load the Checkfront page inside of an 'iframe'. This allows the content from Checkfront to be embedded right in your site, and can be done using our Booking Widget. But you would want to only load/display the content when a button on your site is clicked, and it would be displayed in a popup/modal.
You can find a simple example of this from W3 Schools:

I would recommend speaking to a web developer to assist with implementing this if you are not familiar with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Checkfront support will not be able to provide detailed assistance with this sort of solution.
But I hope this may help, and please let us know how it goes if you do try to implement this!
All the best,

Thanks for your question!
Are you wanting to automatically open the 'Availability' tab in item ID 3? If so, you can try the following link:
