Would love to see a thread or page that list's examples websites in which OwnerReservations has been implemented both using API and/or with widgets.

The page or thread could also have a list of developers who work with the API and want work. :))

Maybe that's already available and I've missed it?

Cheers

We don't have an example page yet, but that's a great idea. Here's a list with a few examples of various types of hosting, from custom coded, to ASP.NET, to WordPress, to Webchalet...

Large/property manager companies:
http://www.villasinjamaica.com
http://marbellaskol.com

Medium size operations:
http://www.riversideproperties.org
http://cardigancabins.com
http://galvestonbeachcondos.com

Small one or two properties:
http://www.marinasedge.com
http://eastforkfarm.net
http://www.natapoclodge.com
http://www.massanuttensprings.com

I believe those all use widgets right now. There were a few using API awhile ago, but as our widgets have become more powerful they've switched to widget mode.

Are you looking to do anything in particular with the widgets and/or API? I can make some recommendations or suggestions about what's possible. If you're looking for development, OwnerRez has resources for that or I may be able to recommend other developers that could help depending on what's needed.

Thanks for the reply and example sites!

Not being a developer, I'm not sure what creative things can be done using the API and wanted to snoop around to get ideas.

My initial thought was filtering the response/wording on a generated quote. As I mentioned in my "feature request" thread, the quotes can look daunting and confusing to a customer.

Again, thanks for providing sites of different measures using OwnerRez. Love what your doing. Cheers

Super easy to integrate.

But we are also testing the hosted site option. I like the layout

we need to decide which way to go.

This takes me to a chinese website that looks like spam?

I would strongly suggest doing a virus scan immediately - that suggests that there is a malware operating on your computer, and in your browser in particular, that is "hijacking" otherwise valid links. I just tested it, and that link is correct and goes to our support site.

I believe Fishin is referring to a previous reply, up higher in this thread, that mentions this website:

www.wmvacationhomes.com

That does indeed show a bunch of Chinese characters.

Ah, well, as with all forums, it is not possible for us to audit or update them on a continual basis. That's part of the reason why we mostly don't allow real links from the forum.

Designed and built in-house.  I currently have six properties and utilize OR's various widgets (Booking/Inquiry form, availability calendar, reviews) and the Wordpress plugin (description, photo gallery).  Just started using the plugin 1-2 days ago, so the property details pages will be reworked slightly.

Only things currently not using OR are the location details, the amenities (for now), and the map.

How do I overlap my booking widget and a picture of my property? I am using google sites to build my website. I am leaving three examples of how i'd like it to look.

I am not a Google Sites expert but I was able to drag the embedded Html on top of a picture. I used one of the default templates to create a site. 


Do not 'just' insert a picture and try to add the widget on top, instead set the image of a section. This allows you to drag content on top of the image.
