Adding a new template

First of all clone this repo to your machine.

• Customizer Export/Import plugin taht creates a .dat file
• Widget Importer & Exporter generates a .wie file (can be renamed as .json)

You need also to create a preview.png image file to show in plugin's demo list.

2- Once you have generated the importing files and the preview image you might to upload somewhere.

3- Now update /inc/MyBookingTemplateSites.php file and add a new block of code containing the new demo URLs:

    array(
      'import_file_name'             => 'TEMPLATE', // The name of the site template
      'categories'                   => array( 'CATEGORY' ), // Category tab where you want to show
      'local_import_file'            => trailingslashit(plugin_dir_path( __DIR__ ) ).'templates/my-template/content.xml', // Content file URL
      'local_import_widget_file'     => trailingslashit(plugin_dir_path( __DIR__ ) ).'templates/my-template/widgets.json', // Widgets file URL
      'local_import_customizer_file' => trailingslashit(plugin_dir_path( __DIR__ ) ).'templates/my-template/customizer.dat', // Customizer settings file URL
      'import_preview_image_url'     => plugin_dir_url(__DIR__).'templates/my-template/preview.png', // Preview image URL
      'import_notice'                => __( 'My Template', 'mybooking-templates-importer' ), // Message shown before start importing
      'preview_url'                  => 'https://demo-url.com' // Demo URL
