The logo on your availability search is being pulled from what has been set up under Admin> Logo upload.
Make sure, that the option for Selected site is set to --- Main logo ---.
Please note:
Should you still be using the old calendars you will not be able to change the colour used on the availability search page. It will be the default SuperControl light-green.
We would strongly recommend to switch the new, widget based calendars.
The colours used on the availability search page are the same as the ones used for your colour widget.
The colour set up for Brand (header, book button etc.) in the calendar setup is also used for the availability search page.
If you want to change this colour, please go to Admin > Integration HTML > Calendar wizard> click Edit to the right of the calendar that has been set to be used for the availability search as default.
Scroll down until you see the option Brand (header, book button etc.).
If you prefer to use a predefined colour scheme rather than creating your own, you can select one by ticking Predefined as the Calendar type.
Alternatively, if you are using one of our pre-defined colors instead of your own customized color, then this is where the color is being pulled from:
Please note:
The default font size on the old availability search was size 16px.
To add additional text to the availability search page, please go to Admin > Customisation options > Choose site ID > Customisation on the right hand site.
Scroll down the page to the section headed Content for availability search page.
The below screenshot is showing how the text would appear in the availability search page.
To make the text a bit more prominent, you can use the formatting tools at the top of the section.
Example:
Using the Heading 1 format and blue as the text colour to make the text more stand out.
The below screenshot show how the text looks on the availability search page.
If you have set up several different calendars and want to make sure that a specific one is used for the availability search, e.g. because it has a colour customisation, which should be used for the availability search, use the steps below.
- Go to Admin > Website integration > tab Calendar wizard
- Check the Selected site ID.
(this is only relevant when you have more than one) - Click Edit to the right of the calendar with the correct siteID.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page.
- Click the option Set as default calendar for availability search.
- Make sure to save the change.
