Version 01.00.00 (01.09.2014):
- Initial release
Before installation please install http://bbimagehandler.codeplex.com/ as a prerequisite and configure AllowedDomains in web.config ! Then install this module like every DNN module as a host account in System – Extensions or directly from the DNN Forge. After installation place a bitboxx bbbooking module on the page where you want to show your booking form.
The UI displays a 1 year occupation chart with the possibility to change the years. Depending on the settings, only future dates are visible.
The customer can enter his preferred time span. If the check is OK, he can enter his personal data and finalize the reservation. A user is automatically created in the system with the entered data, an email is sended to the administrator and the timespan is blocked as “reservation”. In the backend (“Edit bookings”), the administrator can edit the bookings or create new ones.
