simple online booking system
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2007 5:54 pm
hay all im looking to put together a simple booking system for my website as i hate the 3rd party software thats on there at the moment, so ive come here for some help.
basicly what im looking for is a system where there is a standard looking callender on the booking page tied to a timeline that displays say from 7am to 10 pm split into hourly slots. i would like the user to be able to click a date in the calendar and that day is shown in the time line. the timeline will then show when im free, when im booked and when my service is not avalible. the user can then click a free spot and be taken to a form for booking. Automatic booking notification for me and the client would also be good but not essinsial.
I so hope someone can help as i dont know where to start, i know you can get prebuilt calendars but have never seen the timeline element that im looking for, though i have seen it in the wild on sites. i also guess it would have to be ties to a database. I am a n00b but am willing to jump into the deep end with the coding if i can be pointed in the right direction. Or is there any open source programs out there that you think does whaty im looking for.
Like i siad im a n00b, willing to learn and all help is good help, so please can you help.
Thanks in advance.
