The CMS Made Simple module

 
This module allows you to embed the Planyo reservation form on your web site. This way, your clients will stay on your web site throughout the whole reservation process.
 
You can find more information about the integration process at your Planyo account. Once logged in, go to the Settings section and choose the Integrate with your site button at the bottom of the page.
 
Note: if you don't mind that your clients will be redirected to planyo.com to make a reservation, you don't need to use this snippet at all.
First download the CMS Made Simple module (available here).
After downloading the file, unzip the XML module file. Next, go to the Admin panel of your CMS Made Simple installation and choose Extensions > Modules from the main menu.

In the Install module via XML file section at the bottom of the Modules page, click the Browse button, choose the unpacked Planyo.xml file and click Submit. Once Planyo appears in the list of modules, click Install to actually install it.



Now, you should choose the location for the Planyo form. Here we'll create a new page. Of course you can use any existing location as well. Choose Content > Pages from the main menu and click Add New Content. In the Title field of the view that opens type Reservation page.



Next, go to the Content section. Wherever you want the planyo form to appear, type the tag {cms_module module='Planyo' site='xyz'}, where xyz is your Planyo site ID. For testing purposes, you can type demo instead of the actual ID. Click Submit to add the new page.

And that's it!

Below you can see the result of the integration. Please note that you can update the CSS stylesheets and templates to adjust the look&feel of the plugin.

See the Help section of the Planyo module for additional parameters that you can pass to the tag for further customizations (e.g. to change the language). This FAQ question will offer further explanation of these parameters.
