How to Override Order and Book/Reserve Fields on POI Cards¶

When we select a POI card to add Additional Details, you may have noticed that for Order and Book/Reserve fields, there is an option to Override Mode (No URL):

When these modes are activated, you can no longer enter them through the dashboard as regular URLs:

If a custom implementation is required for these buttons, here is how to do them via Pointr Cloud API:

• First you need to find the featureInternalIdentifier (fid) for your POI and do a GET ../features/ to return its full contents. Please refer to the API documentation for details of the GET request

• This will return an array of Features with a single Feature indicated with fid in it.

• In the JSON contents of the Feature under “properties”, find the section named as “buttons”. It should be an array of objects with a name, action, intent and iconURL field.

For example, for a POI with Website entered, Order and Book/Reserve fields chosen as overridden shall look like the below data:

"buttons": [
          {
            "name": "Order",
            "action": "custom",
            "intent": "",
            "iconUrl": "https://pointrmapstorage.blob.core.windows.net/pointr-assets/products/pointrmaps/poiCard/order.png"
          },
          {
            "name": "Book",
            "action": "custom",
            "intent": "",
            "iconUrl": "https://pointrmapstorage.blob.core.windows.net/pointr-assets/products/pointrmaps/poiCard/book-reserve.png"
          },
          {
            "name": "Website",
            "action": "href",
            "intent": "https://eu.louisvuitton.com/eng-e1/homepage",
            "iconUrl": "https://pointrmapstorage.blob.core.windows.net/pointr-assets/products/pointrmaps/poiCard/website.png"
          }
        ]

To override the Order and Book/Reserve fields, you should fill out the “intent” part of this data according to your implementation and keep other fields of name, action and iconURL as is. In other words;

• “name” is either “Order” or “Book”
• “action” must be “custom”
• “iconUrl” should be “https://pointrmapstorage.blob.core.windows.net/pointr-assets/products/pointrmaps/poiCard/order.png” OR “https://pointrmapstorage.blob.core.windows.net/pointr-assets/products/pointrmaps/poiCard/book-reserve.png“

Once you construct the necessary JSON content which also includes your implementation for Order and/or Book/Reserve fields, then you should send this JSON back to Pointr Cloud using PUT ../features/. Please refer to the API documentation for details of the PUT request
