How to display the booking form
The booking form can be displayed simply by including the tag [bookings] in your page. But there are additional options to change the look and feel of the booking form tag.
Use tag [bookings template=link,schedule=sc14e968daa24b2f] to display a simple URL to resource sc14e968daa24b2f. Replace sc14e968daa24b2f with whatever ID your resource is, you can see this in the Resources link in the WordPress back-end. Clicking on the link will take the user to the next step of the booking process, the calendar.
Use tag [bookings template=buttons] to see a table with all resources, showing radio buttons, the resource name and the resource notes. Selecting a radio button and clicking Next will take the user to the next step of the booking process, the calendar.
The [bookings] tag can be included multiple times in a page, useful if you want to display several links to different resources.
