Accessing your site
ABPro Mobile will connect to svsitelist.com to get a list of registered sites. This is required as more information is required about a site than just it address. The mobile app only connects to svsitelist.com when the user selects a new site to book from. Once chosen the app will retain the site info until the customer chooses another site.
To prevent someone on the other side of the world from installing ABPro Mobile and starting to make bogus bookings for kicks, ABPro Mobile offers several options to control who can see/access your site to make a booking.
Login Required - optional. If set, the user will need to enter a username and password (just once in the settings) to access and make bookings on your site. The username/password will need to be valid Joomla login.
Site Access Code - optional. If set, a user will need to enter a code you have given them, before the app will connect to your site. The code is stored in the settings so the user need enter it only once. You could make the code available via your web site, or in your brick and mortar location.
Local Only - optional, ABPro Mobile has two buttons for the users to use to find your site.
- Select Local Site - only lists sites within 30 kms of the phone using geolocation to determine phone location.
- Select from All Sites - master list of sites. You can optionally have your site ONLY show to local.
