Planyo online reservation system - Drupal module

First download the Drupal module (for Drupal 6 or for Drupal 7). Unpack all files to the planyo directory directly inside the modules directory (make sure the directory has read permissions for all users). Then go to Administer / Site building / Modules, enable the Planyo module and save the configuration.

Now Go to the Planyo module settings which you'll find directly in the main admin menu. Change Planyo site ID to your site's identifier (you can find your site ID in the Settings section of the Planyo backend) and remember to click Save configuration when done with the settings.

Please see this FAQ question for the detailed explanation of all the module's parameters.

Another option you may want to change is Path to the planyo module page. This will determine whether Planyo should create a new drupal page and show the module content as the page's only content or if you prefer (when you type <block>) not to have the module create any pages and embed the module explicitly on the selected pages by using drupal blocks. If you leave the default value of planyo, you'll be able to access the planyo content by going to /planyo or ?q=planyo (depending on your drupal settings). Independently of the value chosen here you can use a number of planyo blocks on your drupal pages (the option Number of blocks to be created determines the number of blocks which can be used).

Each one of the blocks can display a different planyo mode, e.g. one can display the default mode (for example search) and other blocks can display upcoming availability, resource list or details etc. To embed the blocks on your pages, go to Structure / Blocks, find the planyo blocks (named by default Reservation 1..3) and change the region dropdown from None to the desired region, then click Configure next to the block.

The planyo module will by default display the content defined by the default module settings. Normally this will be the list of all available resources, upcoming resource availability, or the search box. Still, the same module will be used to display a number of other content types, for example the reservation form, email verification, reservation of additional products etc. The active mode can be controlled by module's attribute string, by a widget connected to the plugin (such as a small search box, google map, calendar preview etc.) or directly by URL parameters.

Here, in block's configuration settings, the Attribute string setting can be used to override the default Planyo settings chosen in the module's configuration (more in Q167).
