Description
The ResOnline Booking Gadget allows registered Hotels, Motels, Caravan Parks and other Accommodation Businesses to embed a relatively user-friendly booking widget directly on their website.
This plugin simplifies the process of embedding the ResOnline Booking Gadget by adding a simple shortcode to WordPress, allowing you to add the ResOnline Booking Gadget to any page, post or CPT on your site using:
[resonline id="123456"]

Shortcode Usage
For ease of use and flexibility, this plugin’s shortcodes can be added with practically no options; however most functional options can be used and / or overridden at a shortcode level (including the Columns and Room Label options)
Basic Usage
At a minimum, the Hotel ID must be supplied in order to “pick up” the correct Booking Gadget. So, if you have the Hotel ID 12345, the corresponding short code would be:
[resonline id="12345"]
Additional Parameters / Overrides
The following parameters can be added to the Standard or Pro version of the short code to override the default features:
currency
Any three-letter ISO currency code available to the vendor (eg AUD, USD, IDR, etc)
layout
Layout override. Either horiz for the Wide / Horizontal Layout or vert for the Tall / Vertical Layout
show-images
Set to true to display preview images / thumbnails, or false to hide image previews
columns
The default number of columns to display, when showing a Booking Gadget in Wide / Horizontal Layout mode
label
The label to show (eg, Rooms, Apartments, Cabins, etc)

Force a horizontal layout:
[resonline id="12345" layout="horiz"]
