Title: Is there a module for displaying latest rooms?
Post by: hardislander on March 07, 2011, 06:52:01

I know there is a module for IOSreservations to display latest hotels (also shows a from lowest price). However,I was wonderinf if ther is a module to display latest room. This look to be particularly useful for hotel website specific to late rooms /last minute booking.

You would like this module to display rooms from all hotels, from a specific hotel, or from the current shown hotel (if any) ?

I would like the module to
(i) display the lates rooms added (showing the prices) regardless of hotels (similiar to latest posts or updates)
(ii) and/or display/sort accomodation type by price from all hotels
Ideally this module can do both interchangeably

The accommodation type is just a word, it does not contain price information.

Please tell me which options you wish to display in the rooms list.
- Room name
- Hotel
- Location
- Room's price for today (1 room, 1 person, 1 night duration)
- Lower room's price regardless date (price from X EUR)
- Number of available rooms for today (or, if selected, the checkin/checkout dates)
- Room's description
- Room's image
- Room's charge type
- Other info?

If you wish to display a lot of info the module can not be just a list like the latest posts. So please specify my the exact information you wish to display and I will build that for you for free.

You can do so by editing the html source code (file fviews/hotels.html.php).
Note that as these elements are required you will have to replace them by hidden input boxes.

Trying to help Ioannis because he's too busy at this period.
!Important : In case that you use com_reservation 3.5 rev439 you can replace file placed ( /fviews/hotels.html.php ) with the attached one.

Note : Don't forget to take a backup of this file first. ;)
