About MP Booking
From the official readme · v1.0.1Description
MP Booking is a WordPress plugin which provides a button that opens a simple form for hostel / hotel reservations.
The plugin allows multiple room descriptions on one page.
The button opens a form with jQuery / JQueryui functionalities such as a modal form calendar;
specific fields to be filled out, drop-down menus for client country, guest number, arrival time and a comment field. The booking
process ends with a captcha verification and sends an e-mail confirmation to the user and to the staff entitled to manage the reservation.
The plugin is configurable by changing attributes in the shortcode such as: booking object / room type,
maximum number of rooms available, button label, form identification and
destination e-mail address for each instance of the form.
This plugin is inspired by “simple-booking-form” plugin written by romeluv.
It uses jQuery / jJueryui (for calendar)
Cpatcha lib: “kcaptcha”
