Internet Templates Description
Php-residence allows you to create internet templates, that is pages to be integrated in your own
website so that the visitors can access to database informations updated in real time. The graphical
integration of the template page with the website can be total as you can insert your own html code
aruond the central element of the page.
Once that the template is created, it can be moved anywhere in your site or on other sites, as long as
the data to access the database inserted at the moment of creation remain valid. But it is more convenient
to set up the path where the file will be placed before creating it, this way you will be able, should you
have the necessity to create it again to modify something, to start from the settings inserted the last
time and furthermore the template will be automatically updated when you update php-residence or when a
new year is created.
Template to Check Availability
This template allows the website visitors to check the availability of the apartment types and the
periods to which they are interested in and calculate the corresponding price. If the apartments are still
available the possibility to fill up a form to request the reservation will be offered and the request will
arrive to you as an email or as a new message inside php-residence. In the second case you'll have the
ability to insert the reservation, with the data inserted by the client in the form, by pushing a button
at the side of the message. Otherwise instead of outright inserting the reservation you will be able, using
the documents of php-residence, to answer with a default email that can anyways be modified, before sending
it, to answer some eventual questions from the client.
The client, besides the period and the type of apartments, can also ask for eventual extra costs,
insert the number of people or make multiple requests. Also the fields of the reservation request form can
be customized as you can choose which ones you want to be asked and which ones are needed to send the form.
Yuo can also add your own custom fields, for example to ask for credit card data, but in this case it will
be necessary to take the adequate security measures.
Template to Book Paying the Deposit with PayPal
The utilization of this template is available only to the subscribers of the
hosting service or purchasing the
add-on module. The
template is very similar to the availabity check one, but instead of the reservation request form there is
another one to immediately complete the reservation paying the deposit with PayPal. After verifying the
email address validity, the client will be sent to the PayPal website where he will be able to securely
fulfil the payment towards your PayPal account. From PayPal you can make credit card payments even without
being registered, so you won't have to worry about managing the credit card numbers of your clients in a
secure way. As soon as the template will be notified by PayPal that the payment transaction has been
fulfilled the reservation will be inserted in the php-residence database and a confirmation email will be
sent to the client. So there is no need of an external operator intervention, you will be informed of the
new reservation by email and will find it immediately in the reservations list.
Template to Complete an Already Inserted Reservation Paying the Deposit with PayPal
The utilization of this template is available only to the subscribers of the
hosting service or purchasing the
add-on module. When a reservation has been previously
inserted in php-residence the client can complete it paying the deposit on-line. The deposit payment is
carried out with a credit card on PayPal as for the previous reservation template. Besides the payment you
can also ask inserting some eventually missing data of the client. To access the resticed area for
reservation completion you will have to report to the client the reservation code found in the reservation
details inside php-residence. This task is made easier by the php-residence documents that allow you to send
a predefined email to the client in which a link directed inside the restricted area can be inserted. Once
the client has completed the payment the paid amount will be automatically updated in php-residence.
Template to Display an Availability Calendar
This template allows you to create a page of your site with a box containing the calendar that shows
the days in which each apartments type is still available. You can possibly choose not grouping apartments
by types and showing them all separately. The calendar will automatically update availability when any
modification is carried out inside php-residence.
Template to Display the Rates Table
This template allows you to create a page of your site with the table containing selected periods
and thier respective prices of the selected rates. You can also select the extra costs to be shown below
the table. The table and the extra costs data will be automatically updated should they be modified inside
php-residence.
