Note: To place the new request module on your website, you will need administrator access and/or technical knowledge.
Install on your website
WordPress
If you are using WordPress for your website, you can use our WordPress plugin. This allows you to place and set up the request module on your website without any technical knowledge. You only need to have sufficient rights to install plugins.
Place the widget code yourself
If you use a different system, you can, of course, add the widget code to your website manually. However, you will need limited knowledge of HTML to do this.
Add the following code at the end of your document, just before the closing </body> tag:
<script src="https://app.miceoperations.com/widget/widget.js"></script>
Now having this code on your website, you are ready to use the (new) request module immediately.
Open a request widget
In a popup:
By default, the new request module opens as a popup on your website. This ensures that users have maximum attention to your offer. To do this, use the standard link that you will find in the settings of your request module.
It looks as follows: https://app.miceoperations.com/widget/0df2ad69968b (example)
P.S. You can also use this link on websites without a widget code. You will then arrive at a neat page with the request module. Try it with the link above.
In a new page:
You need to add a link to the request widget in the website’s code (or website builder) and have it open in a new window. In some builders this is simply a setting; if you want to do it in the code, it will be:
<a href="https://app.miceoperations.com/widget/{widget-id}" target="_blank">Click here</a>
In the page:
With the old widget code, the request widget was always embedded in the page. The new widget still supports this possibility, but it has become much easier to place the request module in your page.
Simply place another link to the request module in your page, but now put #embed behind it. This will then look like this:
This link is automatically converted by the widget code. The application module appears on your page.
Button at the bottom of the screen
Also new is the possibility to add a button at the bottom of the screen of every page on your website. The button says "Request quote" and allows the user to get started immediately.
In order to make use of this, you must first set up which request module is to be linked to the button. In WordPress you can set the unique identification code (Widget ID) of the request module in WP-Admin. If you have placed the widget code manually to your website, you can enter a number of settings in a Javascript object before the<script> widgetcode widget code. This looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.miceWidgetSettings = {
widget_id: "0df2ad69968b",
button_alignment: 'right',
button_horizontal_padding: 10, // Standaard 32
button_vertical_padding: 10, // Standaard 32
source: 'Website'
};
</script>
Note! At "widget_id" in the above code, make sure to add the widget ID of your own widget.
As you can see, you can also enter a number of other settings. To use the button on your website only the field widget_id is required.
❗Note: We strongly advise against using the request widget within an iframe
The widget does not have a fixed height, as users offer a varying number of locations and packages. Embedding it in an iframe would lead to a scrollable widget inside an already scrollable web page, which significantly harms the user experience, especially on mobile devices. That’s why we recommend alternative solutions, such as displaying the widget in a pop-up.
Disclaimer
Support is provided regarding the submission and accuracy of the data. However, MICE Operations does not offer (individual) support for installing the widget on your website. If you require assistance with this, we recommend contacting your website administrator.
FAQ
Can the request widget also be embedded directly into the page (iframe or embed)?
While this is technically possible, we recommend using the default pop-up version instead, as it performs better across various devices and browsers.
Unlike the standard pop-up, the embedded version is no longer actively maintained or optimised. Additionally, certain features, such as the timeline, are not supported in the embedded version.
