module for cms like joomla

Post by swedesailor »

This is an awesome script! Very well thought through for small hotels.

Would it be difficult to make a script like the one at.
www.hotelamarano.com
to check for availability.

I could modify the availability_template.php and show it in iframe.
But its to big to load for good performance when visitor comes to site.

A small form-script like the amarano one that suplies/calls availability_template.php with info, is that difficult?

thx / Marten

Oh, it doesnt need to be joomla, maybe the question should be...

Is it hard to write a SMALL form that "onSubmit" sends tha date and roomtyp to php-residence to check availability

Have you tried using the availability_template? It performs fine on my server.

As an aside, what is it about adding complexity that makes you think it will run faster?


If the Amarano one runs too slowly for you, I can assure you it has nothing to do with the availability temoplate, if it runs slowly it is a question of your connection speed. And yes, you can redraw the template if you wish to be in a horizontal format quite easily.

the availability-template is great. But mine is abput 300KB so its quite "heavy".

You can copy the html from the first form and paste it in another page, just changing the form action with the template url, it shold work. The template files are big because they don't have any external files included, so you can move them around.
