Wonder if anyone can help me out. In process of designing a site for client. A holiday apartment - I need a system of some sort that when dates are booked for apartment it will update Calendar to show that those dates are now taken (or something similar). I suggested I could update (just a matter of colouring in cells in cal. table but Client would like to be able to do this from their side to be more in control with updates over weekend or if I wasn’t available - but that sounds mega complicated! Anyone got anything similar on the go? Plan to add simpe Mals Shopping to handle payments - buttons not in place yet. Site is at www.gojoholidays.com
I need a system of some sort that when dates are booked for apartment it will update Calendar to show that those dates are now taken (or something similar).
There are a myriad of php scripts out there that can handle this. Go have a look around at www.hotscripts.com and browse through the calendar section.
A while back I needed something similar but couldn’t actually find
anything that would just slot in so I had to take one of the scripts
and rebuild it to suite my needs, it took a while and ended up more
work than I had expected but it works although stupidly I never rolled
it into a function or a class.
After I had done this I discovered: http://www.booking-calendar.com/
which is a calendar service that people can use for al their website
properties, saves having to fill in a different one on every site they
just link to their calendar at booking-calendar.com
Hope this helps

I have such a system at http://www.tci-owners.org.uk/ → ‘Bookings diary’.
It’s a Perl cgi script, so all the content of that page id generated
by Perl, but the surrounding pages are Freeway.
The master bookings diary is an eXcel spreadsheet on the bookings
secretary’s PC. She exports as csv and uploads the .csv file through
an upload form (hidden behind a password on the ‘Admin’ pages.
Another Perl script creates a simple text file from it. That text
file is consulted as Perl builds the table at browse time. No
database, just text files - one for each year. Presence of a date in
the file turns that cell pink. Any text against it in the file
appears as a floating comment. Soon, that should be the membership
number so members can verify it’s their booking, but that will be in
the spreadsheet.
The flexibility of the diary page could do some work. If anyone wants
the behind the scenes stuff, just ask. If anyone improves it, I’d
like to be able to use the improvements. CSS was just coming
mainstream when I did this, so it has none.
I’m no graphics designer as you will be able to tell. Comments would
be welcome. Comments that include how the achieve suggested
improvements would be even more welcome. Note that we don’t want to
give any Spanish authorities any feeling that we’re advertising.
About Oasis Tropical:
TCI consists of the remaining victims of a points time-share scam.
When the originator disappeared after the fraud squad got interested,
we manage to wrest ownership of the three properties on Tenerife from
the holding company. Payment of back taxes lost us one property and
some dubious goings on within the local administration lost us the
second. Spanish taxation restricts the use of the remaining property
to members, ‘friends’ and relatives.
We recently took the final step, moving the two original companies in
the Isle of Man to be one company - Travel Club International - in
the UK.
