Hello,
The version 4.3. is now ready.
First of all, some info regarding the release steps.
February 13th - update of the online demo.
February 14th - new demo available for download
February 15th - new kit and desktop client available for new and existing clients
February 16th - upgrades of existing scripts will be available.
List of features.
1. Desktop client.
A desktop client allowing the remote connection to the script and offering the possibility to the owner to manage his properties including the availability calendar (and the export to the owner site) and adding bookings into the system.
The main functions of the desktop client are :
1. Add property with basic informations including images
2. Synchronize (transfer) the property to the script site
3. Copy the already existing properties on the desktop, edit them and synchronize/update the content on the server.
4. Manually add a booking into the system, synchonize with the reservation list on the server
5. Copy and synchronize the property availability calendar on the client webpage (knowledge of html and php is required for implementation and customization).
More info here: http://www.online-rent.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1134
2. Google maps and map listing.
Google maps was implemented and a new display of properties registered into the system was added in the top menu.
More info here: http://www.online-rent.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3577
3. Add property wizard builder.
More info here: http://www.online-rent.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3570
Add property can be customized by the site admin under the form of a step-by step wizard, configured in the admin area. The purpose of the wizard is to simplify the life of proeprty owners when they add a property into the system.
4. Quick search.
Quick search and booking details are now available in the property listing, the results for the searched interval are listed for each property and preserved during the site navigation.
Info: http://www.online-rent.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3578
5. New display style.
A new display style was built, which incorporates the quick availability search and the booking and price calculation done on the property details page.
6. Property address.
A new menu was added in the PMA, in order to enter the property address information.
7. Admin notification.
When a property is added into the system the admin receives an email.
8. Ask more information.
Ask more informations opens now in a popup with a security code for spam prevention (the background color is controlled in the css).
9. Watermark.
The site watermark can be placed on uploaded images, the text appearing in the photos is controlled using a language variable (define(_WATERMARK,"WaterMark"); )
10. Tooltips
Tooltips were added for all the menus in the admin area.
11. Minimum number of booked weeks.
The definition of the minimum number of booked weeks was implemented.
12. PMA - graphics
The graphics symbols were replaced and each of them have an unique name in order to allow easy replacement by each site owner.
Bug fixes, minor mods.
Thank you.
Catalin Toma

So you changed your mind and decided that the database could be made to work a lot more  Is the rate calculated when displaying each page or for all listed properties first? |

|
|
Hi,
I thought that in this version, there will be the possibility to have a box search by dates and more.. and then when you run the search in teh list properties will appear all available with the price calculated.
Is it possible? If yes, how? If not, when?
Regards,
Marc |

When you say "..and preserved during the site navigation." do you mean via the "Book Now" link or is there more to understand? |

Is there not a "small problem"/enhancements needed with this.? use PID 655 Spain Villa in the onlline demo as an example and use redstlye as display style
1) the price show should also show for how many guest this is. Currently though there is not a <%variable> to put into property_details_list.tpl to show the number of guests.( Note 655 has guest based pricing )
2) This is the start of a little debate.
If I show a date selection box that says arrival and departure it would be logical for me to enter say arrival as 2007/05/01 departure 2007/05/08 , which is in fact 8 days! . The script shows 400 as the price for the "Booked Period Cost" for the above PID which is 8 days- not really what the guest meant.
What do other people think? should a script automatically handle this always as 1 day less? |

Hi,
This is indeed a problem which is currently being fixed.
Thank you for pointing it, it was so obvious that we have totally missed it.

| .. while you are doing this can you check the elsewhere the script follows this behaviour. I.e when a arrival/deprt dates is selected via a pop up calendar then the arrival/departure can be on the same day as an existing booking. |
