Hotel reservation HOW-TO
workonwomen - February 2, 2006 - 07:28
So my site is up and runing, but on my site is some information about a hotel.
What I want is that the registered users could reserve rooms on my site.
I searched already the net to find a drupal solution for that, but I found only some discussions about that.
So what is the latest state, it is still a good begin point the event module, but what shall I add? (Signup???)
Seems to me like you want to
Seems to me like you want to build a custom database and use drupal to access it.
You may want to tie it in with CiviCRM as well (for the contact management).
I'd have tables like:
* rooms (individual room data, whether it's occupied or not, what floor it is on, the class of the room, extra notes, smoking or not)
* room classes (single or double bed, size, etc. If not enough info, just detail in room table)
Also, you should have representitive pictures inside the rooms, the outside of your establishment, and prominent staff (this'd just be normal website stuff though, no need to tie it into the module)
You should also have an overview of available rooms, and a booking schedule table for when rooms are reserved (I suppose that this would be instead of an OCCUPIED_FLAG in the rooms table).
You might also consider making rooms a node type, so you could create rooms.
These are all just a bunch of ideas I'm throwing out. You might do better to work with an existing system, if you can find one, and simply slipline it into Drupal if you require.
ecomm
and you'd want to integrate with ecommerce, right?
No, I see that some explanation is required
Basically this service would be very simple:
There will be no ecomerce (not now), what I need is that there is a some room with pictures how they are looking and a calendar in which is marked what date is free and what not.
And some registered users can only mark dates and edit their own reservations and some can manage everything in the calendar...
What I am looking for is some solution which are already working somewhere and are avaible as module...
But I am open for any solution!
Room Reservation
Did you do it? and how? I have to do the same thing for a tiny hotel. I'd be glad to know how you solved it.
Thanks

Reservation module?
Hi,
Did you succeed.
I would like to install a reservation module on www.eandrium.com for development aid (Nepalese hotelowners pay high prises for booking engines..).
Please respond.
Thanks in advance,

webform?
Use webform to collect reservation requests?
Or cck to create a 'available/occupied' field and add it to a new content type, and views to show only available rooms/nodes; and another field to allow 'reserve/book'-ing?

Drupal Reservation System
Hi every one,
I am new to Drupal. I started to use it about a week ago. I used Joomla a lot before.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if what are the required component for this kind of reservation system.
-inventory availability (a certain number of seats for a particular trip are available only: once, twice or three times a week but not everyday)
-prices difference between : first class or coach
-price difference between: adults and children
...
can CCK do such a booking capability?
Thank you.
looks great ..
does this system search other sites or your site only? when are you going to release it?
released
Hi everyone, we are pleased to announce the launch of Drupal's first booking engine - http://drupal.org/project/openresort

In tears of joy
Thanks guys,
I am new at Drupal, I got introduced to it by the Sustainable Living Foundation team (http://www.slf.org.au/) to produce a new portal (http://www.sustainabilityconvergence.org.au/) as a volunteer. It's all Drupal.
I was working with major companies in Italy before, but I left my permanent job because I felt I was not doing enough for environment.
I also decided to switch my Croatian residence hotel site (www.vacanzecroate.com) from ASP to PHP/Drupal.
Thank you,
Sincerely,

Openresort setup hurdle
I have installed openresort (tremendous thanks to the developers) but I'm struggling to make heads or tails of it all. It's quite complicated to setup so, my question is, has anyone set this up on their own site? I would appreciate some advice - I'm no idiot but I can't work this darn thing out! I installed the auto-install download from openresort (after an unsuccessful install of the module - it crashed my site), so I assume all modules are pre-configured (as stated in the openresort documentation).
Anyone have this operating apart from the developer?
Tim
Hi Tim, Yes I have it
Hi Tim,
Yes I have it working. Especially the ammidities selecting was for me why I am using this great peace of modules.
I also know that Marc at Openresort.org is very helpfull, so please be patient.
This module is still somewhat in development. It hasn't have view support on business subtype, but it is a great module already!
May be you can file a issue on openresort.org if you don't get the installation fullfilled.
Greetings,
Martijn
