We have created a booking engine for Drupal. Currently it only supports accommodations, but Activities and tours, ski rentals and lift tickets are planned.
It is called OpenResort.. for more info visit www.openresort.org
Due to drupal liscensing issues we have not be able to release our full version of the module we have developed. It is only available as a custom configured, hosted and managed solution. BUT, we have released a basic version of our module which you can downolad from drupal.org.
Hi Yes, I had a look at
Hi
Yes, I had a look at this, and it is very good.
I want to try and come up with an abstract api that doesn't have any idea of rooms/tickets/tours/etc. All the api should do is provide the backend to a non-descript object, with contrib modules that extend the api to give the object some properties, if that makes sense.
But I would welcome any ideas, discussion from you if you can offer any help?
Cheers
Interested
Hi,
I definitely like the idea of an API because there are so many different things that can be "Booked". There are some older/other modules you might want to look at regarding scheduling, and I remember there being one for airplane reservations. I think the key parts are things like date/time, number of items (1 to infinite), support for confirmations by admin, and probably some tie ins with permissions and e-commerce.

http://drupal.org/project/volunteer_timeslots (this looked like the most relevant when I was looking to a reservations for a site)
http://drupal.org/project/pegevent
http://drupal.org/project/schedule
http://drupal.org/project/node_scheduler (more about scheduling publishing of nodes, by might have some relevant code)
http://drupal.org/project/scheduler (similar to node_scheduler)
and of course the poster's module http://drupal.org/project/openresort

Cheers for these links, I've
Cheers for these links, I've noticed quite a lot of activity recently in this area.
I was hoping to have something up by now but since coming back from Barcelona I've had a bit of Real Life(tm) pitfalls to overcome, so I've been away from the computer intermittently. But I think it's about time I did something now!
