Angelfish Members Area

The Angelfish Members Area is a section of the Angelfish website in which you can customise the appearance of your room calendar, set up options for receiving and processing online booking requests and, if necessary, add room, booking and closure information manually. Although your rooms, bookings and closures are updated automatically from B&B Manager when you use the Update Website feature, there may be occasions when you are away from your desk and wish to update booking information remotely. You can do all of this, and more, through the Members Area.

Access to the Members Area

You can log into the Angelfish Members Area using the username and password supplied to you when you purchased B&B Manager. Once you have logged in, the home page offers you a range of options for performing the tasks mentioned above. When you have finished you should exit the Members Area by selecting Logout from the top menu.

Updating Your Member Details

Click on the Member Details link to view your account details. From here, you can change your username and password and see when your Room Calendar subscription is due to end.

Updating Your Guest House Details

Click on the Guest House link to view details of your B&B, Guest House or Hotel. You can set the name, address and other contact details here, along with the following options for online booking requests.

Allow Online Booking. This allows visitors to your website to not only view your availability calendar, but to make booking requests for available dates. When a booking request is made, you will be automatically notified by an e-mail, which will include the contact details of the visitor. You can then contact the visitor directly to either confirm or refuse the booking request. Alternatively, B&B Manager provides an automated facility for handling online booking requests, which you may prefer to use.
Two Night Min. Weekeend. Specified whether or not you only accept bookings of two nights or more on Friday and Saturday nights
Require Card Details. Reserved for future use. Please ensure that this box is not ticked until otherwise advised.
Send Refuse/Confirm E-Mail. Tick this box if you use B&B Managers automated feature for fetching and processing online bookings but do not wish to send the standard Angelfish booking refusal/confirmation e-mail to the visitor.
Booking Message. If you do not want your website visitors to see the standard Angelfish message upon completing a booking request, you can specify your own booking message here. It is important to make clear to the visitor that their transaction is only a request, and does not constitute a full booking until you have confirmed it.

The link to your Angelfish Room Calendar is displayed at the bottom of the page. You can embed this link into your own website once you have customised the calendar to your satisfaction.

Page Layout

This section contains the following customisation options for your Room Calendar:

Banner Image. If you wish to link directly to your Angelfish Room Calendar from your own website (rather than embedding the calendar) you can use this control to upload a banner image. The image will be displayed at the top of the calendar page.
Page Alignment. The alignment to use for your room calendar page.
Background Colour. The background colour for your calendar page, in hexadecimal format (e.g. "#FFFFFF" for white). You can set this to match the background colour of your own website, or of the page in which you are embedding the calendar.
Text Colour. The text colour for your calendar
Border Colour. The colour of the border on your calendar page.
Text Font. The text font for your calendar. Set this to match the font used in your web page. Note that only web-safe fonts are listed.
Text Size. The text size for your calendar.
Availability Layout. This allows you to offer an availability query instead of the standard calendar format. The query allows visitors to specify a start date and end date (or number of nights), then shows the available rooms for the specified dates. Visitors can then continue to the online booking request screen, if this option is set up.
Available Colour. The colour of available date/room spaces in the calendar.
Booked Colour. The colour of booked spaces in the calendar.
Closed Colour. The colour of closed spaces in the calendar.
Room Colour 1. The booking request screen shows details of the available rooms for the selected dates. This colour is used as one of the alternating background colours for the room descriptions.
Room Colour 2. As for Room Colour 1 above.
Additional Info. Supplementary text shown below the calendar. This may include information on concessions or terms and conditions.
Show Room Prices. Tick this box to show room prices for available space in the calendar.
Show Descriptions. Tick this box to show full room descriptions, including images, when the users clicks on a room name in the calendar. Descriptions are uploaded directly from the Room Description in B&B Manager. Images are currently added manually by Angelfish; please contact us if you would like images set up for your calendar.
Show Closures as Bookings. If you do not wish to broadcast your room/guest house closures on your room calendar, tick this box to make closures show as bookings.
Hide Provisional Bookings. Tick this box if you do not want to display provisional bookings (those that have not yet been confirmed) in your room calendar.
