Hi again.
I need to let users reserve hotels in my site but with no prior registration.
How can I do that?

you can design a form with facileforms and let public frontend to use it ... so you can get the results in backend... also i think you can use Edir , i you want more information contact GoUp

I'm using EDIR. Sorry I did'nt tell you before.
The problem is that my client do not want to make users register first and then be able to make a reservation. And EDIR does have a policy that allow reservation just for registered users.

We take a reservation as a very serious thing for your company so we could not imagine that someone would like to make a reservation without having validate user's data. That's why EDir accepts only reservations from registered users. Also if you are unregistered there is no way to inform you about your reservation's status (not validated e-mail), there is no history for your reservations available, there is no relation between the reserved item and you, you can not login to see if your reservation was accepted or not, etc. So, simply reservations wont work as it should for unregistered users. If you think all these (and maybe more) you will understand that YOU HAVE to be registered in order to make a reservation. Reservation system is not just a form that sends e-mails...

Well datashell, actually websites like bookhotel.com do not require people to register to their web page although they do take valid information in the reservation form.
The thing is that my client don't want their customers to affiliate to the website prior to make a reservation, and I do understand that It would be a problem technically.
So I came up with an idea and I hope you can help me implement it:
1. When someone clicks in availability check, they automatically got logged with a user like "client"
then all reservations will be made by the same user, but the details will change.
2. Disable the flooding protection wich allows the same user to make just one reservation in a period of time (I already know how to do that because I desabled it to make a lot of testing)
I hope you can help me with a hint on how to implement this idea.

I did not answer you because my inital answer covers your new question. I don't recommend what you want to do but if you insist you can create a user named "client" with password "client" and add somewhere in your site the login information for this user. To log in automatically all your visitors when they click the reservation icon it needs the extension to be modified.

Hi Datashell. Thanks for your answer.
The problem is that I do not know how to modify the extension.
I looked at the code and I guess I know where to modify it; but I don't know what code I can use to automatically login a visitor.
Could you help me?.
Thanks
