IOS Reservations 2.5

[datahell]

New room image upload method, rates per weekends or specific date.

Here are 2 screenshots of the, under development, new version (2.5) of IOS Reservations. As you can see the room's edit page has been modified. The room image can be uploaded directly from this page and you can also set special rates for weekends as well as for any specific date. You can add unlimited number of date/price pairs for any room.

The first screenshot shows you the new room's edit page.


In the second screenshot you can see the result availability calendar for the settings we made to the room. Notice that we can now generate extremely complex availability calendars.

this is nice... especially the weekends option.

i would like to suggest for this(or next) release  also these:
-extra user fields, eg.  fireplace=xmoney/day.
-custom emails
-No money option, customer will fill of what services needs for x days...asking for an offer!
- a discount option(%) .. eg. for a week's reservation or after 4th or 5th day 15% discount

New location image upload method, sub-locations support.
Added the option to have sub-locations on IOS Reservations. With version 2.5 you can have location trees like the following:

- Greece
      - Mecedonia
               - Thessaloniki
               - Drama
      - Crete
              - Chania
              - Herakleio
              - Knossos
- Italy
       - Rome
       - Torino
       - Naples

IOS Reservations 2.5 supports sub-locations of any level.

To ks-net: IOS Reservations is not a shopping cart but I will examine the option to add "price modifiers" like fields for extra hotel/room services. Price modifiers will work like those for IOS eshop. This is not final, I will see if I add this option.

I agree with ks-net with the extra cost field e.x extra bed or extra person

looks good , the sub- location is a great idea.

Maybe a trifle, but a very useful and that is to make automatic resized images that hotel owner add for hotels.

One more tidbits I noticed if you are searching for a destination and has offered more than 20 rooms at this location, the system says (No results were found).
It would be good that there are options for more pages as it is with hotels in the same location.

This new stuff looks amazing!

I would like to second ks-net's suggestion for custom e-mail field.
The idea is not to have e-mail address visible but use it a simple contact form that is protected from automated spam using php gd captcha or math-captcha. Just an suggestion...

Keep up the good work!

[ks-net]

actually i was talking about  custom email messages ...
to have a way to modify those messages  why  send to customer by email... during each progress ...

also it is not a bad idea to be able send the reason for reject reservation .... wile rejecting, system ask the reason and include the reason to the message emailed to customer.

other useful is the option to mark certain days on certain rooms  as booked ... my customers most times use the phone to contact and want to book by this way.... same time my system says that all rooms are free so i have either to make virtual books or to put reservations off line.

After adding the option to set prices for specific dates I think it would be easy to add the option to set a room as unavailable for any specific date. This could be done by setting the price to a negative number.

Example
Date: 2009-09-22, Price: -1
The above means that the room is not available for September 22, 2009.
I will see if it is easy to be implemented this feature and notify you.

Example
Date: 2009-09-22, Price: -1

i haven't notice... nice....  although i haven't try it  i think it is enough .

[datahell]

No, no, no. It does nt works for the current version of IOS Reservations!
You need IOS Reservations v2.5

[ks-net]

Don't worry this topic is very clear... it talks about future improvements.... those for upcoming verion 2.5

i meant that i am not able to try....... when i try, i would be sure if it is enough.. for my needs!

By the way ... what options for upgrade to 2.5?

[datahell]

As for every software I develop the upgrade will be free and there will be an easy way to upgrade.
