OK, I have been searching through all the forum posts and looked at the modules currently here online and I can not find what I am looking for. I am working on a website for my sister who is emigrating to Portugal to run a Bed and Breakfast. She will have several rooms to let and what she wants is to have a simple module that wil show what rooms, with their amenities, are available (or already rented out) for what period in time.

I am not a module coder so would not know how to do this. Anyone here know if there is a module available somewhere that might be close to what she wants and can point me in the right direction?

TIA

Nico

Being a non-native english speaker I am apparently looking for a scheduler module. Will look further. Any pointers appreciated.

I looked at this idea recently. Not only is there no such module for Drupal, but I was unable to find any good open-source reservations solution. The best I found after looking at around 20 sourceforge projects, was Solunas Booking. It's rather basic.

In my view, the problem is crying out for a Drupal solution, which would allow a complete site with photos, streetmap, local info pages, etc, built around the hotel booking engine to attract guests to the site. Online bookings taken via the Ecommerce module, different levels of permissions for junior/senior staff, etc.

However it would be a substantial amount of work for one person, and my finances require me to spend more time on paid work...

Edit: a scheduler? reservations makes more sense to me.

I have written a reservations script for a cabin.
http://www.hanaspeider.org/booking/booking.php (In norwegian only)
The visitors can choose to rent one of two separate parts or the entire cabin.
The code is not very friendly to modifications though. There are loads of hardcoded text, and presentation and logic are highly integrated :P
But, if anyone is interrested I'll post it here. I just need to sort through some old backup cds to find it..

Hi, I looked at the reservations URL. It looks basically what I am after. Of course I want to have more functionality like linking from a date to a reservations form, when the date is still open. etc.

I checked out the Solunas site but it was quite broken. No images were displayed and I had a problem accessing the flash demo (however that could so be on my side).

As you said, it is rather basic. Although it has some functionality that I am looking for.

Would be great if the module works with special hotel-nodes and every user can edit several rooms and can say if one room is already taken for this day or not...something like this: http://www.belegungsplan.main-scriptservice.de/index.php?ueb=1

Hi,
I saw that a Joomla module on the site: http://www.solunas.org/cms/index.php.
Is it hard to make a Drupal module from a allready build Drupal module?
I would like to participate, but am not a real programmer (I have a university degree in Information technology).

Here is the link to the Joomla connector. Why not build a Drupal connector. These are some things that let people choose:

Look at Calendar with CCK and Views. That might work for you.
