Backoffice improvements & bugfixes

Now you can add a content section on your contact page. One of our customers in Spain needed the ability to add descriptive text to their Contact page, so we have added the option to add a content section along with any other section on the page

We have added the ability to re-order tour-level custom-fields and booking-level custom-fields.

We now have the ability to add a custom HTML section to the home page, or any static page. This can be used to integrate flight search widgets, hotel search widgets, weather widgets, or website sections with custom designs/layouts.

Other bug-fixes and minor improvements

There was a bug which allowed one to add pre-defined pax-types (i.e. Adult, Child, Infant, etc) multiple times to a tour. This has been fixed.
The promotion coupon banner image was not visible on collection pages when customers marked the coupon for promotion. This has now been fixed.
We have fixed an issue where the call-to-action button in a tour’s photo-gallery used to show “Book now” even though the tour was in an inquiry mode. This has been fixed to show “Inquire now”.
