IOSR Hotels v2.0

[datahell]

There are no IOSR accounts, user login is managed by Elxis. Please post messages in the proper category/thread.
Elxis stores errors in error.log (repository/logs/) if you have log enabled in Elxis administration.

Hello, thanks for the response.  I just realized that it has something to do with the Chloe Template, since you can logout from the Profile Page but not from the Top menu at Chloe template or the Login (mod_login)  Version 1.3

Should I post in the templates section and modules?

Regards

[datahell]

I have also notice a problem with AJAX logout and mobile devices. For PC browsers it works fine. I will check it soon, it is a Chloe issue, nothing to do with IOSR and Elxis.

Hi Datahell,

First of all congratulations for Elxis 4.4, great new features and the updater for 4.3 version is working like a charm!!

Regarding next IOSRhotels version I´m waiting so bad I want to remind you about my need of a "non bother the hotelier, please" option

- I need autocancelation if the customer ask for it (and he is in time, of course), without hotelier intervention. Perhaps a register can be written in logs to mark that.
- I need the reservations not paid to autocancel in 5-10 min (Now it is only working with full days).
- So it will be great that a user can book a maximum number of rooms in one single operation.
- I think emails shoud be sent after payment only... you have explained how the system works but I think it is something strange, mate. Booking and appointment scripts I have worked with of course do a "temporal reservation" during the booking process but items are not really booked and emails are not sent till the user makes the payment or choose a non online payment like bank transfer and confirm.

These are the features I need so bad to start my business and for whom I´m waiting for. I will be a happy man just with that!!
Besides I have some other ideas (some of them taken from other users in this forum) and, I do insist, for me are not so important. Anyway I left them here:

- A beautiful slider with images and transitions in hotel pages, similar to iosslider or this one: http://bookingarab.com/reservations/hotels/makkah/38.html
- Logo field and banner field for each hotel to show a logo and a banner for offers/deals. They will be shown in hotel page if the hotelier want to and they can be changed anytime they need.
- Filter also for room features in location pages.
- Strikethrough prices with new ones and "only x rooms left" messages also in location pages. I think it is much better for marketing.
- Show a module in hotelier panel to leave notes, or even better personal messages between hoteliers and admin.
- Hotelier login panel homepage could be customizable to show rooms calendar (of the first hotel if he has more than one), charts, and so on. Hotels I know prefer to see rooms calendar always...
- Google Map with All hotels also in a flexible destination.
- Pictures for extras and a more flexible system. What about if I only have 5 bicycles to rent?
- Validation for user form fields.
- Price always visible in checkout page, autoscrolling it with javascript or something like that.
- Non refoundable and discounts per room and season not per hotel.
- Different prices for the same room with and without meals.
-... and the even more difficult, implementation for some channel manager like myallocator to bring in hotels used to work with booking.com and so on.

I know I´m asking for too much, please don´t say no to all of them

I still haven´t used IOSR hotels in a production site but I´m willing to pay again if you consider these features deserve a new big version.

Waiting for your answer, mate.

As always, thanks a million.

Hello,

  I found a terribly bug in the Hotelliers admin section.

  When a Hotellier inserts the Description in the main language it gets overwritten when you save other language.  Same happens in the Terms & Conditions.  Tested several times same result any time. 

   It does not occur in the admin section.  Only when logged as hotellier.

    Please help!!!!

    Regards

The translations are handled by Elxis eTranslator not by IOSR. I will check it later and answer you. Which iosr/hotels/elxis version you have?

[judelgado]

Hello, thanks for the reply, I'm using IOSR 4.2 on elxis  4.3

[datahell]

@judelgado : I can't reproduce the problem. For me it works fine. I also don't see anything wrong in the source code. The only way for something like that to happen is if you have switched the site's default language. In this case all translations you have inserted before the language switch will have problem because of language indexing inconsistency. Do this test on a new hotel.

[judelgado]

Hello @datahell, thanks for your help.

In my case I haven't changed the main language (English), I'm only have two other languages (Spanish-Italian) installed since I started with the website.

Can I send you hotellier access to my site, so this way you check in my environment?

Thanks again

[datahell]

Yes send me both for the hotelier panel and for the administration panel.

[datahell]

I checked your online site and I found no problem. The translator works fine and each translation is saved for the proper language. Here is how to use the Elxis translator, maybe you work with it wrong.

1. Write the element (title, description, etc) in the default language. Click Apply button to save the whole item (article, hotel, category, room, etc) if it is a new item, else not needed.
2. Switch language from the language selector of the element. Write the text in the new language. When ready click the "Save" disk icon on the language selector of the element.
3. From the language selector switch back to the default language or to an other language to add a new translation.

Hello again,

   How can I add modules like the ones you have in the demo section of IOSR (http://iosr4.isopensource2.com/), like top destination on the side bar. I'm using Chloe template but I don't find the modules anywhere.

    Thanks

[webgift]

Hello,
Each template use its own module positions. In order to display top destination at the right
column of Chloe template at frontpage you should disable not only fronpage slider but also
frontpage top boxes. Finally publish the relative module to the left or right module position.
That's it!

[judelgado]

Thanks for your answer, the problem here is that I don't see the modules available to publish.  I see the modules I need on Module positions page, but not in the Modules section, how do I activate those modules?

[webgift]

You are welcome, @judelgado!
If you can't see the relative module in the modules' section then you haven't installed
it yet.

Have you installed the relative module? If not then there is a relative zip file inside of
the package you've received when you bought IOSR Hotels software. Each interested
module should be extracted from this package and afterwords install it one by one by
uploading it to your Elxis CMS installation.
