Payments and calendars in drupal
mallory99 - June 8, 2009 - 06:01
I wonder if anyone could provide me with some advice on how to accomplish something in drupal.
I am making a site to promote my wife's holiday cottage. She visitors to be able to select a range of dates, a function to take bookings through paypal, and a calendar showing availablity and updating itself when orders are placed.
What is the best way of approaching this site? Which modules would you recommend?
Thanks drupal!

MERCI and Airplane
MERCI and Airplane Reservation are among the choices you have. They're not that mature yet however.
There's also an ubercart module in development, ubercart hotel. This is being developed privately, but looks like it will be released publicly once it's finished. It's probably the closest to what you want.
You may not be able to use Drupal for this project if you're pressed for time.
Thanks
Thanks - that was very helpful. Time isn't an issue, I can add the modules when they're ready. I prefer to stick with drupal.
Cheers
OpenResort
Also take a look at OpenResort. OR is a mature codebase for Drupal 5 and has a great installation profile.
Give it a look-see:
