Hi again,
Sorry that I open so many threads, but I hope they are helpful.

I have noticed another small problem with the booking page this time:

While making test reservations (and I asked other people to test for me and the had the same issue), I get an "invalid captcha" error message, while the captcha I entered was correct.

It's not happening each time and most of the times the second attempt is working, sometimes it needs a third.

Here is my info:
Database Version 5.0.95-community
Database Collation utf8_general_ci

Hi,

I resolved the issue in my case with a bush solution, so it's working for me, but it's because I've disabled things in the monthly calendar php page as well as some features... not the proper way, but as long as I can use the website I'm good. Thanks.


Actually there was another issue I noticed and havn't opened a ticket because I could find a go-around:
If I end a price period on a certain day (in my case end of month), and start the next period the next day, the calendar would be empty on the 1st day of the next period. I had to make the rates overlap to make the 1st day of the next period bookable. I don't know if it's a bug or if it's just a different way to enter rate periods, anyway it's working now but I thought I'd make you know.

That was a good try but it's not working... ;(
if I select months next year it will start with this year's month 1st, then the chosen months below...
anybody has the solution for that one??

Seems I got the fix for the 1st issue:

To get the proper year in the 1st month of the booking calendar I did this:

in components/com_booking/views/subject/tmpl/default_calendar_monthly.php, line 52

Change
<h2 class="subjectSubtitle calendarTitle"><?php echo ($this->setting->monthName . ' ' . $this->setting->year); ?></h2>

by
<h2 class="subjectSubtitle calendarTitle"><?php echo ($this->setting->monthName . ' ' . $this->setting->currentYear); ?></h2>

I hope some pro comes along and says if it's the proper way to do it, I hope it will not bring collateral issues, but it seems working for me for now.

Hi,
I've noticed 2 bugs in the month calendar and I'm unable to fix them:

I made 2 prints and attached them:

the 1st month of the calendar display in object view is wrong. It shows all months properly except the 1st month. 1st months displays the wrong year (next year)

The other issue is that some weeks are displayed twice, once in the proper month, then again in the next month (without the bookable dates, just empty week.

I hope this helps the developers of the component to improve it and get it fixed in the next issue.

Meanwhile somebody knows how to fix this using the component's configuration it'd be most helpful.

I'm having the same problem here, I opened a topic in the features request, but it seems that it's not in the plan. Too bad because it makes much more sense to have the deposit in %, or at least the choice fix/%.
Customers who reserves a property for 20 days or for 3 days can't be asked the same deposit.

Hi again,

This post should go under the language section but the link to new topic in that section is dead and sends me to a 404 page, so I guess I have to put it here since it is also a feature request.

I am using the French language file together with English. (by the way the french language file is full of symbols replacing the accents, I corrected those plus a few grammatical erros and I'd be glad to give it to who wants).

I am able to set the system in French or English, but not the object's description nor the Terms and Conditions.

Would it be possible to have language options for these fields?

Hi again,
Actually I think this should be posted in a bug report section but I don't find one.

When making a reservation and pressing the "back" button, in the reservation popup or in the reservation page, I return to an empty page rather than going to the object's page.

I guess it's a bug... or someone please explain what I did wrong.

I don't need a fix for that, I'd rather wait for the next upgrade, so I guess it's a bug report ;)

Hi,
1st of all, Thanks for this free component.
It is still bugging a little for me, but it's doing the trick really well.

I have suggestion though:
The deposit is in absolute value and it'd be great to have an option in %, with the breakdown: deposit calculated / outstanding amount = Total

Kindly
Mat

Same here. Joomla 2.5.1 as well.
But isn't there another way to solve this?
I don't really feel comfortable with tempering with the database.
