IOSR Hotels v2.0

No, this is a custom requirement and I don't see the reason for doing so. You can do that by developing a special plugin or module.

Members Deal + cashback option ,
on the future update can you add member deals discount ? for example if the guest registered as member got 10% lower than any rate or there is cashback option.

OK thanks! The reason is that there are still so many "hoteliers" that are not ready or capable to manage their availability calendar!

Another question about Joomla API integrator, do you know that room "pop-up" photo slideshow is not working?
Is there a way to find solution here or i need to check it on joomla developer forum?

Best regards,
MG

@wieyoga: I dont see a reason for doing so. You already have their personal details as they submit them on booking. Why to make them register by force to get a special discount? This would only have a meaning if they were in a special user group (assigned manually by admin, eg "golder members") or if they had a discount coupon.

@MG01: There is no official support by me for Joomla, Wordpress, or other CMSs except Elxis. Also do you have the latest version installed? The integration plugins for the API updated lately. The popup/lightbox should work on any CMS, if this does not happen then either the integration is not correct (eg javascript header files are missing), or there is a javascript conflict with an other js library used in the site (even with 2 different versions of the same js library like jQuery). For Elxis CMS the integration is fully automatic and works perfect as there is no way of javascript conflicts in Elxis (Elxis uses singleton like functions that make sure each library is loaded only once). For other CMSs the integration requires user action (read the documentation) and js conflicts are possible.

Hello guys,

   Is there a way I can use a price box for children instead of the percentage drop down menu?

    Most of the hotels works with a flat price for children here, will be very useful that I can just put the price for children in a text box instead of the percentage, for my hotelliers is very confusing.

    Or have both options.  Is there a way I can switch this?

     Thanks for your help.

    By the way, coupons for hotel promotions is an amazing idea, can't wait for having this option. well done guys.

Fixed amount for children discount will not work so well as the room price depends on seasons.

2 new important features are coming in version 2.1:
a. Discount coupons (generated coupon are issued for specific hotel, or for all location hotels, or for all hotelier hotels and for all hotels)
b. Full amount discount (pay reduced total amount instead of just the surety fee)

Version 2.1 development is sponsored by Alovat Gulomshoev

Understand, but my question is if there a chance I can put the price in children instead of percentage.  This way most of the Hotels will put the price once a year per children, for example certain hotel charge $25 per kid, this way the system will add the $25 per kid + stay days.

Hi,

I have some features to ask for the new version, please.

- Some of us have been demanding for years a simple feature you are always against, I understad your point of view but IOSR is simply useless in some countries due to this restriction. I´m speaking about Automatic cancelations without the hotelier has to confirm them. I know it is something that can bring problems and it can be a headache for hoteliers if they don´t plan very well their "days before cancelation"... but you should let us choose. This feature should be in the system for those of us who need it.
- I think it is also a must to restrict the number of rooms that can be booked at the same time.

I have some other ideas I would like very much to see in IOSR but, at this time, I will be happy with being able to use the software with this two features.

Just one little thing more, I don´t like the new way of selecting rooms (I attach capture), isn´t a way to get the old one with select?

Anyway the software is really awesome and also the support.

I hope you will have this thoughts into account.

Thank you very much.

Regards.

I disagree with the automatic cancellation but I can add it as an option for those want to use it like that. I will see if I can implement it in the upcoming IOSR Hotels upgraded release.

The way of picking rooms/guests designed like that for better user experience with touch devices.

[juanon]

Yes, please.

I will be happy with that.

Thanks a million.

Hi datahell

It will be possible in the new version have an xml to comparison sites prices?

Best Regards

[datahell]

It can be done. Provide me such an XML file to see it.

Hi

Suggestion

It is possible to define the type of room beyond the capacity of the room for adults if the room supports extra bed or not.
1 double room is for 2 people, but an extra bed for children can be requested.
The limit on the price listed is for 2 adults but by the additional service can be ordered extra bed.
When you put 2 adults + 1 child, the system will let you book with add-on extra bed

Best Regards

[datahell]

I understand the problem but this cannot be done with extra beds as a service because service they don't contain such information and system doesn't know what each service is.

BTW just an information about upcoming IOSR Hotels v2.1
An affiliates tracking system just added in IOSR Hotels v2.1. You can link from other sites to IOSR Hotels pages and use a special parameter in link containing a tracking code. If the visitor makes a reservation this tracking code will be saved with the reservation. This way you can distinguish reservations that came from a certain site/affiliate.

Hi datahell

Thank you for your answer.

I am happy with the Affiliate system.

Suggested new module / extension to the IOSR

Promotional pack of bookings for one hotel or hotels

Example:
1 Hotel = Pack of 3 nights in the hotel + Service 1 + Service 2
Various Hotels = 1 night hotel x, + (1 night hotel Y + Service 1 Hotel Y)
