How create use a full year calendar

[F.schettino]

After a long time I am here to ask a suggestion.

I am developing (for a fiend, free of charge ) a site to make reservations of a holiday home / B & B.
I need help to get a full year calendar to show the situation, as I made in Access:


Someone can help me?

Yes, sure, but that's not a project to be explained in 2 or 3 lines.
To say it in the briefest format: that'll take a very much customised list template. And ditto for form, I guess. Hence, good knowledge of Fabrik, PHP, HTML, CSS and some JS is required. And much time.

So, while you are planning to do this for a friend free of charge, others out here will very likely not be able or willing to do so...

You can try with the full calendar vizualisation.

It's depending on your needs.
Fabrik doesn't have an "out of the box" booking, as @lousyfool says you'll need a good knowledge but you can build a very flexible system.

Or use one of the many free or paid Joomla booking components, maybe together with Fabrik.

troester: "use one of the many free or paid Joomla booking components"

This is my idea:

• at the beginning I have to understand, so
  • I installed Solidres free edition
  • I try to implement specific functions using Fabrik (I used it for a long time, as you could remember; and probably you remember that I'm not a professional programmer, but just a very hard-headed enthusiast)
• then, I can buy Solidres paid version

But I would like implement ALL using Fabrik.

"full calendar" Could you post the link, please?

lousyfool:

• "that's not a project to be explained in 2 or 3 lines" I am sure; my question was finalized to get general information, some tips
• "much time" I have time; and I not pay my time
• "So, while you are planning ........" Ok, no problem; noone is obliged,

So yes, try the fullcalendar.
But it doesn't have a "year view" (if this a critical point in your case).

It would be very useful for management, to see the global situation.

If it's for display you may use some calendar component and link a Fabrik list to their eventlist or use Fabrik plugins to synchronize with their event list etc.

I would say the view in your first post and the related stuff is doable with Fabrik within reasonable effort, but you'll have to evaluate your own Fabrik / PHP / CSS / JS skills first.

You just need:
1) Create a list with day elements 1-31
2) Add rows with the months/years for as far to future as you need
3) Check "use as row class" option in day elements, so you can style them with css depending on the value (F, C etc.)
4) Create a reservation form with check-in and check-out date elements. On that form add form-php plugin to check availability and update the reservation in you main reservations view table (this needs some moderate php-skills).
5) Color codes in you list header can be added to list into.
etc.
