You will need to synchronise with CyberCapeTown in order to retrieve Areas, Page Indexes and Menu Profiles.

Click on the "synchronise with CyberCapeTown.com" link displayed after installation, or go to the "Components" menu at the top of the page, and select "CyberCapeTown Content" then "Synchronise".

STEP 4: Define your Settings

In order to earn your sale commission, CyberCapeTown needs to know who referred the customer.

Click on the "Components" menu at the top of the page, and select "CyberCapeTown Content" then "Settings".

Enter your Skin Number, as provided to you in your signup email or on the CyberCapeTown Affiliates Website (http://affiliates.securebooking.org)

If you wish to see your sales performance using the "CyberCapeTown Content", "Performance" menu item, you will need to login to the SecureBooking Affiliate website. In the Affliate website, click on "Joomla Authentication Key" in the "Quick Links" on the bottom left. Then highlight your authentication key and press CTRL+C to copy. Now return to your Joomla site and paste the key into the "Affiliate Key" field.

Select your preference of Star Rating and Reservation button colours.

Optionally enter META header details to display for Search Pages.

Click on "Save" near the top right of the page.

STEP 5: Menu Support

In order to attach CyberCapeTown content pages to Menu Items in your Joomla site, you will need to extract the "cct_menulink.zip" file into the Joomla application path.

Methods of doing this vary between systems. Please consult your Website Administrator should you not know how to upload the files yourself.

Once installed, you can customise your menus by selecting the "Menu" menu item from the top of the page, then select the menu you wish to edit from the list. Click on "New" and select "Link - Cybercapetown Item" under the "Components" section. Give your menu a name and select the "Content Item" from the list of CyberCapeTown Pages you have added.
