Title: IOSR Cars development
Post by: datahell on December 24, 2013, 00:00:06
I started developing a Car Rentals extension for IOS Reservations 4.x.
It is too early to announce anything regarding it but if you have a feature request you can post it below.

The basic concept is as following:
In IOSR locations you create pick up /drop off places where people can get or leave the rental cars. You also create routes between these places and you can set extra charges for some of them and also the pickup/drop off availability times. Cars will be separated into categories and charged per day. Car extras will also be supported as well as other extras (such as insurance or miles). IOSR Cars will share the same locations and payment modules as in IOSR 4.x Core as it is an IOSR extension.

I post a screen shot of IOS Reservations 4.x with extensions IOSR Hotels and IOSR Cars as it is now.

The developement of IOSR Cars (car rentals extension for IOS Reservations) goes very fast. The biggest part of the administration interface is ready and now I work on the frontend section.
I post a screen shot from the cars fleet listing page (still under development).

For simplicity and in order to minimize the extension size* the car types are built in. They are taken from what the most companies use to separate them (from super mini to truck) but there are also 10 free to rename car types, so you can change them to what ever you like.

Note
* In order the IOSR Cars extension to be released as soon as possible and in a very low price some extensions' parts are "compact".
Title: IOSR Cars search form
Post by: datahell on January 12, 2014, 14:48:01
A screen-shot from the search form of IOSR Cars.
I think it is one of the smartest forms I have ever designed. IOSR Cars accepts rentals of duration from 1 hour to 90 days (configurable).
It is full responsive and mobile friendly as everything else in IOSR.
Unfortunately you cannot feel the functionality of the form by looking the screen-shot  :(

Thanks!
With IOSR Cars extension IOS Reservations will be enriched a lot.

After IOSR Cars I think of developing a mini shopping cart for IOSR which will be free! I even think of renaming IOS Reservations to a more generic name like just "IOS" in order to develop more general thinks for it, even a forum! Elxis 4.x and IOSR are excellent platforms to develop things and especially anything related to tourism business. If any developer wants to build an IOSR extension just contact me!

Yes, you can add any type of vehicle (cars, motorcycles, trucks, buses, tricycles, bicycles, electric, hybrid, scooters, anything...)
There is no "seats" option, but there is a "passengers" option which is the same I believe and has an upper limit of 90 (passengers).

Alight!

Till now the following have been completed 100% in front-end section

Pages I work on or I still have to do in front-end

These days I also work on other things (Photo Vote plugin before, Newsletter module now) and so IOSR Cars development is slower but still continues. I believe I will have it ready till the end of February as scheduled.

I attach a screenshot from IOS Reservations control panel page showing IOSR Cars extension menu as it is now.

Discount coupons were added in IOSR Cars.
Discount coupons can be generated with any amount and sent automatically to any recipient via e-mail. The discount coupons have a configurable life time.

Hi Datahell,

Discounts will be great for IOSR hotels too, do you have plans for this?

Thanks in advance
Title: Re: IOSR Cars development
Post by: datahell on February 03, 2014, 13:53:46
Charges are controled by the rental duration. The more days someone rents a vehicle the bigger discount he gets.
Also there are discount coupons. What other types of discount you need? Based on which fact?
Title: Re: IOSR Cars development
Post by: jesusto on February 03, 2014, 14:15:49
Hi,

I mean for IOSR HOTELS. Discount couponts for cients and some way for the hoteliers to print their own offers in hotel page.

Thanks
Title: Re: IOSR Cars development
Post by: datahell on February 03, 2014, 18:38:22
Ooops, sorry I didn't saw it was for IOSR Hotels. The topic is for IOSR Cars though.
OK, discount coupons for IOSR Hotels can be implemented in the next version.

You can freely set as many extras per vehicle as you want and also select the charging method (per day or one time, min/max quantity). These are optional extras that the customer can pick during reservation. I will post a screenshot in the afternoon.
Title: Re: IOSR Cars development
Post by: datahell on February 06, 2014, 21:05:16
I post a screenshot from IOSR Cars rental form.
The image displays the block were you pick the extra options (can be any extra option) and you see the financial data for your vehicle rental.
The form is complete and I now work on the rental process (it is just 1 step, you click on a car, fill-in the form and you are done).

Title: IOSR Cars - Dev progress report
Post by: datahell on March 09, 2014, 11:11:58
Progress report for IOSR Cars.

The front-end section of IOSR Cars is complete. I currently work on the last big part in administration section, the management of rentals. The interface is very similar to the one for bookings management on IOSR Hotels. This part will be complete in about a week, maybe less, and the whole IOSR Cars developement will be complete, as scheduled, till March 20, 2014. After finishing the development I will update the IOSR Hotels demo site with IOSR Cars providing a unified demo site for both IOS Reservations extensions. The documentation will follow and finally IOSR Cars will be ready to be released into public.

I attach a screen-shot of IOS Reservations control panel with IOSR Hotels and IOSR Cars extensions.

Dear Data hell


in iosr cars there are only two options  cars and motercycles I added  buses in it it shows them in cars scetion when it does not come in that cattagory  how can we add buses sction in it so that it show it in buses section.

Title: Re: IOSR Cars development
Post by: datahell on April 06, 2014, 11:47:00
"Cars" and "motorcycles" are generic vehicle types.

Cars are standard cars but also buses, tracks, jeaps, etc.
Motorcycles are standard motorcycles, but also bicycles, scooters, 3-wheel motorcycles, super bikes, etc.

Both "cars" and "motorcycles" have other more specific types to separate them further.
IOSR Cars can create special pages for these types.

For example the page below lists "cars" of type "mini":
http://iosr4.isopensource2.com/reservations/cars/fleet/type4.html (http://iosr4.isopensource2.com/reservations/cars/fleet/type4.html)

This page lists "motorcycles" of type "scooter":
http://iosr4.isopensource2.com/reservations/cars/motorcycles/type40.html (http://iosr4.isopensource2.com/reservations/cars/motorcycles/type40.html)

You can do the same for buses or whatever other vehicle type you want.
