        Byteflows Travel & Hotel Booking is built to be theme-developer friendly. Integrate it three ways: template overrides, action\/filter hooks, and helper functions.<\/p>\n\n

        Template overrides<\/h4>\n\n

        Drop a file into your-theme\/journeyloom\/<path><\/code> to override the plugin default (same path under templates\/<\/code>):<\/p>\n\n

          \n
        • single-trip.php<\/code>, single-hotel.php<\/code>, archive-trip.php<\/code>, archive-hotel.php<\/code><\/li>\n
        • partials\/booking-form.php<\/code>, partials\/gallery-hero.php<\/code>, partials\/trip-card.php<\/code>, partials\/hotel-card.php<\/code>, partials\/search-form.php<\/code>, partials\/calendar.php<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

          In your own templates you can load any template\/partial (theme-overridable) with:\n wptm_get_template( 'partials\/trip-card.php', array( 'foo' => $bar ) );<\/p>\n\n

          Action hooks<\/h4>\n\n

          Single trip: wptm_before_single_trip<\/code>, wptm_single_trip_before_content<\/code>, wptm_single_trip_after_overview<\/code>, wptm_single_trip_after_content<\/code>, wptm_single_trip_before_sidebar<\/code>, wptm_single_trip_after_sidebar<\/code>, wptm_after_single_trip<\/code> \u2014 each passes the trip ID.<\/p>\n\n

          Single hotel: wptm_before_single_hotel<\/code>, wptm_single_hotel_before_content<\/code>, wptm_single_hotel_after_content<\/code>, wptm_single_hotel_before_sidebar<\/code>, wptm_single_hotel_after_sidebar<\/code>, wptm_after_single_hotel<\/code> \u2014 each passes the hotel ID.<\/p>\n\n

          Lifecycle: wptm_loaded<\/code> (passes the Plugin instance), wptm_booking_created<\/code>, wptm_booking_status_changed<\/code>, wptm_payment_completed<\/code>, wptm_manual_payment_pending<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n

          Filter hooks<\/h4>\n\n
            \n
          • wptm_trip_post_type_args<\/code>, wptm_hotel_post_type_args<\/code> \u2014 adjust CPT registration (slug, supports, archive\u2026)<\/li>\n
          • wptm_destination_taxonomy_args<\/code>, wptm_destination_taxonomy_objects<\/code>, wptm_activity_taxonomy_args<\/code>, wptm_trip_type_taxonomy_args<\/code><\/li>\n
          • wptm_trips_query_args<\/code>, wptm_hotels_query_args<\/code> \u2014 modify the WP_Query for the grid shortcodes<\/li>\n
          • wptm_locate_template<\/code>, wptm_template_args<\/code> \u2014 override resolved template path \/ passed variables<\/li>\n
          • wptm_enqueue_fonts<\/code> (bool), wptm_fonts_url<\/code> \u2014 disable the bundled (self-hosted) fonts or point to your own stylesheet<\/li>\n
          • wptm_payment_gateways<\/code> \u2014 register custom payment gateways<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

            Re-skinning<\/h4>\n\n

            All front-end styling is driven by CSS custom properties on :root<\/code> (e.g. --wptm-primary<\/code>, --wptm-font<\/code>, --wptm-radius<\/code>). Override them in your theme to re-brand without touching plugin CSS.<\/p>\n\n

            Helper functions<\/h4>\n\n
            wptm_get_template(), `wptm_locate_template()`, `wptm_format_price()`, `wptm_get_option()`, `wptm_is_feature_enabled()`, `wptm_get_page_url()`, `wptm_get_system_pages()`.<h3>External services<\/h3>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
