FAQs for Developers

How do I link a restaurant web site to your booking system?

restaurantdiary.com™ recommends one of two ways for integrating reservation system to your website:

Popup window launched from your website
Embedding to the page on your website

To show reservation pages in a popup window, anywhere before the closing </HEAD> tag insert the code below:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
 function openWindow(windowname) {
     var newWindow = window.open(windowname,"pop","scrollbars=yes,status=yes,
     menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizeable=no,width=580,height=620");
 }
//-->
</script>

Fill free to change width and height to the required values depending on the template selected.

Then all that you need to do is provide a link on a piece of text or a graphic button to the account identified with a 4 digit number. i.e. if the account number is 1234, the link would use the form:

javascript:openWindow('http://www.restaurantdiary.com/ts/find.asp?id_prov=1234')

An example link to one of our accounts is below.

Click to Make a Booking

 

To embed restaurantdiary.com™ to the page on your website simply insert the following HTML code to the required place on that page:

<iframe src="http://app.restaurantdiary.com/ts/find.asp?id_prov=1234" width="580"
height="620" scrolling="auto" frameborder="no">
Your browser doesn't support IFRAMEs.
</iframe>

As in previous method you can change width and height to required.

 

How to customise reservation pages template?

restaurantdiary.com™ currently supports two templates for online reservation pages and offers the facility to customise the logo images, colours, font types and backgrounds. This can be done easily by changing CSS file that we provide. Once you have customised the styles, you should email changed CSS file and all other required files to tech@restaurantdiary.com. We will upload them to the server and apply to the demo account to let you test and view before applying to your live account.

 
Testimonial

"We had more or less given up on finding a flexible and affordable booking solution and had decided to open the venue with a pen-and-paper system when we happened across restaurantdiary.com™. And thank goodness we did! It was already a great booking engine, but the team were incredibly receptive to new ideas and the customisation that we needed for our unique concept.

We have used the system for over 18 months and still feel that there are ways to profit from it which we haven't yet discovered. Add to that the fact that there are new features being implemented all the time and we couldn't be happier."
