## Description

Bookares is a booking system for anything you rent out: cottages, boats, rooms, 
equipment. This plugin places your Bookares widget on your WordPress site: customers
see your availability and prices and book directly. Style, languages and prices 
are set in your Bookares dashboard; the widget on your site follows them without
a plugin update.

### Shortcode

 * `type` — `search` (your account id), `calendar` or `matrix` (a calendar id). 
   Required.
 * `id` — the id from your dashboard. Required.
 * `mode` — `inline` (default) or `blank`: a button that opens the widget in a new
   tab.
 * `lang` — `auto`: the visitor’s browser language when you offer it (Settings >
   Online > Translation), else your default language; or a code such as `en`.

Every other attribute is passed on as is: the same options as the HTML code (`data-…`).

### External services

This plugin loads the Bookares widget from Bookares’ servers; without them it shows
nothing.

 * widget.bookares.com — the loader script and the widget itself (in an iframe).
   Sent: the page address and the shortcode’s settings, on every page view with 
   a shortcode.
 * api.bookares.com — availability, prices and bookings. Sent: the dates, party 
   and booking details the visitor enters.

Both are served through Cloudflare (IP address and request data, to deliver and 
secure the service). The widget keeps its size and the visitor’s last choices in
the browser (local storage, page address); it does not track visitors.
