SP Booking: Keen to use but finding limitations

Asked by easybreather 11 months ago Last activity 11 months ago

Hi
I want to use SP Booking within my Joomla/SPPBp site with EasyStore. I get the feeling that SP Booking is not really supported but hope that that impression is wrong. A couple of things to get things moving:

I have two properties, each with two rooms. I do not need a "search/Find your adventure" option but if i use this and give checkin/out dates, when you select a property and/or room the dates are lost and need to be re-entered.
The output shows an "Amenities" section for the property/room but I do not know where to enter this data
There is a spelling mistake: success msg for email confirmation spells "varify" when it should be verify.

Am looking forward to using this rather than a platform such as booking or airbnb. Any more help/advice/tips (from anyone!) would be welcome!

I meant by “independent” that it cannot be integrated with EasyStore or SP Page Builder.

Regarding your other points — yes, you’re absolutely right about the naming consistency between “Amenities” and “Facilities.” I’ll note that as a useful improvement suggestion.

And thank you for your feedback about the features — I’ll be happy to pass your ideas along to the development team for consideration in future updates.

Hi Mark,

Apolozy for the inconvenience and the delayed response due to the weekend.

SP Booking is an independent extension, and currently, it’s not possible to integrate it directly with EasyStore or SP Page Builder.

Regarding the date resetting issue — this is the current behavior of the extension. After selecting a property or room, you’ll need to reselect the check-in and check-out dates.

For the Amenities section, please navigate to your Accommodation settings, where you’ll find a section named Facilities. You can add your amenities data there.

As for the spelling mistake (“varify”), you can easily fix it using Joomla’s Language Override feature. Here’s a helpful tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_qUGOiYNr0. The language constant for this phrase is:
COM_SPBOOKING_AN_EMAIL_HAS_BEEN_SENT

Thank you for your understanding and for choosing SP Booking.

Ah ok. Thanks for the "varify" tip.
When you say "independent" does that mean it is not being developed anymore?
In the main (for my purposes) it almost does everything, but if there is a "feature to add" list i would welcome the chance to ask. The Amenities==Facilities I got - perhaps this is the first fix to add to any list - use consistent naming :D?
Thanks again
