Working With URLS to Enable Specific Actions
The BookingCenter Central Reservation Systems (CRS) provides the ability for webmasters and developers to make specific use of many functions if they are willing to understand the underlying coding technique.
If you need greater control than what is offered here, please see our interface document that enables even greater control of the Booking process.

Please contact info@BookingCenter.com if you desire more information on this.
Here are a few examples:
Custom Room Details from the Results Screen:
Under each Room Type descriptor in the Desktop product, there is an option to show a custom web page in place of the BookingCenter-generated room type description web page. If a URL is entered here the URL will be used in place of our default page to display the details of that Room Type.
Specific Room Type Example, this url opens to a specific Room Type, a Double.
http://requests.bookingcenter.com/enquiry.phtml?port=DEMO&site=DEMO&room_type=D
Date Management and Duration Example, this url requires the guest to book the Double Room Type for 3 nights. The calendar opens at a specific date - 10 MAR 2010.
This condition locks the duration (3 days) for an enquiry for the Type=Home so it can not be changed by the shopper.
