WhatsApp option in the point "Need help booking? Talk to us!"

Hi,
in every experience overview page you have the field "Need help booking? Talk to us!" in the right middle. This field use the informations form the Contact part in each experience. As WhatsApp now has their business account, wouldnt it a good idea to make it possible to add the WhatsApp Chat entry in this field? Especialy younger customer prefer WhatsApp as communication media before phone and Email. We already embedd the option in our page in general but that place would be pretty perfect and I see no option to add it by myself there.
cheers

Hi,

It sounds nice, to other users, please reply here if you want to vote for it.

Edit this file:
plugins/solidres/experience/components/com_solidres/views/experience/tmpl/default.php
After line 197.

Add this:

<?php if (!empty($this->item->contact_phone_number)): ?>
<a style="color:green" href="https :// wa.me/your phone number">
<i class="fa fa-whatsapp" style="color:green"></i>
<?php echo "Whatsapp"; ?>

</a>
<?php endif; ?>

"h t t p : // wa.me/your phone number" - this must be all together.

Hi ropeadventures,

Thank you for sharing your code modification details, it'd be useful for others to implement their own solutions.

Regards,

You welcome.

If you check our Experience Booking frontend, you will notice a few changes.

Some of them weren´t right on the lastest Experiences updates.

The best feature I think I was able to pull out was the ICAL exportations info to google calendar, now it´s pretty sweet.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback, we noticed some of new fields under the experience slide show, did you modify the layout directly or making them editable in back end?

Regards,
