To power your Video and Image Marketplace
In each case, it will dynamically take the address from the video or image and find the available hotels nearby, plus find driving time and directions and optionally rent a car or buy an airline ticket.

The Venue Widget
Click the HDQ widget above to see the widget for your corporate website for people traveling to see your HDQ staff.
The same widget is used in its DYNAMIC form for the Rich Media Marketplace. We show the widget for the Louvre as a sample.
The next section includes your snippet. Then you will find the instructions for our Dynamic tool, which shows you how to substitute your data for our variables in real time, so that you only have to install the widget snippet once. Once it is installed, if you wish to make changes, you can edit the base elements of the widget in the Portal and you do not have to reinstall the snippet. See the defaults in the last section.

Dynamic Tool - Customizing with variables from your system
We’ve included the recommended variables for RME (shown encased in %VARIABLENAME% signs, which you will strip out in your actual entry):
<script type=”text/javascript”> |
tripWidget({ |
daysFromToday: ‘7’, |
numberOfDays: ‘1’, |
headerText: ‘Plan your trip to ‘, |
appendPOI: ‘Y’, |
poiName: ‘%CONTACTNAME%’, |
address: ‘%STREET%, %CITY%,%STATE%,%POSTCODE%’, |
mapTab: ‘1’, |
trackingCode: ‘%CUSTOMERTRACKINGINFO%’, |
imageUrl: ‘%IMAGEURL%’, |
imageLink: ‘%IMAGELINK%’, |
}) |
</script> |
The conditional MapTab flag is new. |
1. If there is no address in the IMAGE or VIDEO record, set to 0. The system will display the hotel page which will allow them to look up the venue name or start typing an address and it will complete. |
2. If you have a full address or just city/state, set to 1, it will default to the map. If there is no %STREET%, the hotel widget will default to the text in the portal for address, which is instructional on looking up the exact address. |
Once you have the code installed, contact us with the test link and we will help to test on multiple platforms and on multiple browsers. |
Your Variable Settings can be modified in your TripProximity Portal

Private Label Branding
For a one time fee of $1500 you can provide your own header artwork to us for the booking back end.
External System Interaction
- Google Places for lookup of the venues and addresses in the address field
- Google Maps for lookup of the latitude/longitude of any address
Once the input from the widget is received, we pass a search string to our booking system. It contains:
- Brand to be displayed in the booking system
- Travel parameters
- Tracking information to provide reporting back to you for each client
CSS
Rules for Display
If you only have a city/state, we recommend that you use the conditional map field to display the map with city/state, but to prompt the user to use the Google Places functionality to look up the name of the organization, venue or street address of the place that they are going.
The date fields for events can be coupled with a business rule. For instance if you have an event that begins before noon, you may want to set the date of arrival to 1 day before the event begins. If the event ends after 3pm, you may want to set the date of departure to 1 day after the event.
Just a reminder, even if there is no address or a partial address (city/state), our new widget with the Google Places lookup can find the precise address of the venue or company that they are visiting (even a Starbucks or TopGolf! or finding a hotel near someone’s house that works from home).
Dynamic versus Static Widgets
async onload=”tripWidget()”
The dynamic widget does not load asynchronously. If you turn on the dynamic flag in the portal in the widget editor, it removes that line from the code snippet that is generated. If you try to install a dynamic widget directly into an HTML container on WordPress, it will NOT render.
