In this tutorial, we will take you through how to add BookThatApp to the Expo theme. Before you start we recommend you take a backup of your current theme.

Note: Widgets are our newest type of booking form and provide a more modern look. Best of all, they are easier to implement because they do not require you to make coding changes in your theme. If you have not tried out a widget yet please see the following:

Step 1 - Choose Your Booking Form

  • Login to BookThatApp
  • In BTA Admin, select the Installation link from the left hand navigation menu 
  • Select the Booking forms tab to access the install steps
  • Click on the Install button next to the form that you want installed. Clicking the Install button creates a booking-form snippet in your current theme. Please refer to our article how to choose the booking form if you need help with this step. 

Step 2 - Add the booking form to the Shopify product page 

  • In Shopify Admin, open your current theme.
  • Open the product-form.liquid file under the Snippets area of your Theme Editor.
  • Paste {% render 'booking-form' %}  below the </select> element on line 75.
    Note: the exact line for the coding placement will vary with different versions of the theme.
  • Select Save 

Step 3 - Updating the Cart Page 

  • Continue with Step 3 of the instructions found in the app admin install steps. There is no need to add line item properties for this theme. However, we recommend disabling the quantity on the cart page as detailed in the instructions from Step 3 of the install steps.

Step 5 - Additional Code Changes

1. CSS Changes

We recommend adding CSS to the theme.scss.liquid file found in the Assets section. Below you will find an example on modifying it:

.booking-form {margin-bottom:20px}
.booking-form label {width:80px; margin-right: 5px;}
.booking-form input.bta.datepicker, .booking-form select.bta-time, .booking-form select.bta-load-enable {min-width:185px; margin-bottom:10px}

 

2. jQuery Upgrade

Some versions of this theme use an older version of jQuery. Upgrade it to at least version 1.7.2 in the theme.liquid file. It also has an older version of jQuery UI that must be updated it in theme.liquid file on line 64:

64. {{ '//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css' | stylesheet_tag }}
 65. {{ '//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js' | script_tag }}

 

The app should now be successfully installed in the Expo theme. If you have any questions or the booking form is not appearing, please create a ticket and we'll be happy to help.
