Shift of dates in reservation table (from template)
Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2009 10:05 am
I think I found something problematic. It has to do with reservation table generated with availibility_template. I am trying to explain the problem here.
In the php-residence db, for example we have a room occupied up to january 30th in the morning, and it is free for the night jan. 30 to jan.31. then occupied again from jan.31 to feb.01.
However, the reservation table shown with the generated availibility_template shows the jan. 30 as occupied, and the jan.31 as free.
A lot of people are lost by this way of showing the availibilities, and in this particular example, a lot of people think that the night from jan.30 to jan.31 is occupied, and the night from jan.31 to feb.01 is free !
You can have the instance of this problem on our website : http://le-valombre.fr , "reservation" menu. You will see that for 3 rooms the jan.31th in green between red cells. A lot of people think that the free night is jan.31 to feb.01 !
I guess the thing is in availibility_template file, it should be nice to correct this so people can read such reservation tables without problem.
What do you think ?
