Hi antonsoho and scovilm,

Artio has given me a quote of app. 1400 Euro for the frontend "multivendor" feature.
I would be willing to cover 800 Euros of that, if somebody else would cover the remaining 600.

Looking forward to your feedback,

Cheers
Sebastian

Would it be possible to arrange a conference call with the interested parties and a representative from Artio to discuss the options and decide on the functionality set that we can all live with?

We're on Pacific time, but can be flexible with all involved.

Actually, please put my offer on hold for a couple of days.
It has just come to my attention that there exists another Joomla universal booking component which does already offer frontend submission and editing. We will check out that one first. If it does not meet our requirements, I will gladly further our customizing project here.
Should be able to tell you by next monday (Nov 26).
Thanks!

which component are you looking at? perhaps we have already reviewed it - or need to.

Well it may be somewhat unappropriate to quote a competitor in a support forum ... in that case, Artio Staff, please delete this info, it is not my intention to offend. The script we currently review is called Koparent. It sadly lacks hourly booking slots (only days and multiples of days) but offers frontend editing and a variety of neat modules.

sescha - can you contact us off-line for a separate discussion? please email to dale.dehart @ sohoprospecting.com
