Calendar as an attribute

[donkassim]

Hello all.

 

I want a bit of help in this

 

Am creating a tourism website including tours, safaris and hotel bookings

 

Am looking for to add an attribute for Date of Travel to be as a calender feature so that the client can select a date as an attribute

 

For example - hotel booking, please select date of checkin - to be an attribute of a calendar to select date.

 

If someone can help me with this, i will be glad.

 

thanks

 

Don

The use of the attributes will be difficult to attain this feature as the attributes where never designed to do this at all.

 

I would suggest you look at do something more along the lines of input boxes (use of a calender plug in like the javascript calender in the admin). This will allow you to get both the start and end date of the order.

 

Once you have the start and end dates, you can then get the total days from this and do the following:

 

(Total Days Stay - 1) * RoomPrice = total cost for stay

 

While this will not allow for seasonal pricing adjustments, you could use the attributes to manage the 1 - 4 people per room pricing adjustments....

 

You will need to save this info with the order in the orders table (?) or another new table so it can be referenced in the admin..

 

cheers and HTH
