TYPO3 extension - CASABLANCA Booking Engine

This extension integrates the CASABLANCA Internet Booking Engine (IBE v2) into TYPO3 with SSR widgets, scheduled ARI synchronisation, and PCI-safe redirect handover.

What this extension does

---

• Background sync — pulls room types, rates/packages, calendar dates and inventory from the CASABLANCA IBE v2 API into local tables.
• SSR widgets — five content elements replace the legacy JavaScript web widgets with crawlable HTML and JSON-LD.
• PCI-safe handover — guests are redirected to the CASABLANCA booking engine; TYPO3 never handles payment data.

How to read this manual

---

The Documentation/ directory contains the extension manual in reStructuredText format. Installing the extension on a hotel site does not add a documentation module in the TYPO3 backend — editors change texts via FlexForm Texts sheets and see translated labels on the frontend.

After publishing to TER / Packagist, the manual is built as HTML on docs.typo3.org and linked from the extension page. In your project the sources live next to the extension (git or vendor/casablanca/bookingengine-connector/Documentation/).

tip

See Localization for details on local preview and label customisation.
