@akr When my customers are looking to book with us, they expect the american date format. This includes the homepage, on search, individual room page, and checkout. I've made the change as proposed, but did not see it reflected on any of the above pages. I'm happy to make the changes in the theme if you'll provide a bit of direction, as I'm a front end web developer.

@akr I followed the instructions here and changed the format to Y/m/d in both fields, just so the change would be apparent. I then went to Advanced Parameters > Performance and told it to force recompilation with the cache off. Then I cleared my cache and visited the site once more, but found no changed on the homepage, search, room page, or checkout. I am using the default theme, no modifications around the date. I only have the one language pack, and it's enabled. Am I missing something?

Is there a way to utilize the american date system of MM/DD/YY? If it can only be done with customization, if you could point me in the right direction, I can set the date format.

Also, is there a way to add a blackout date without going to each individual room in the hotel and setting it to temporarily unavailable?

Is there a way to contribute to this project? There are all sorts of little tweaks I'd like to offer, such as on line 90 of hotel-reservation-theme/category.tpl, this small tweak shows the name of the feature associated with the icon on hover:

<img src="{$feat_img_dir}{$feat_v['value']}" class="rm_amen" title="{$feat_v['name']}">

That was exactly it! It was set to Never Recompile! Thank you for the help.

My instance is being used for a campground rather than a hotel. I've opened hotel-reservation-theme/order-opc.tpl:58 and changed

<span>{l s='Rooms & Price Summary'}</span>

to

<span>{l s='Sites & Price Summary'}</span>

and then uploaded the file, overwriting the previous. When I clear the cache and refresh the cart, I see no changes.

Same can be said of editing shopping-cart.tpl and changing the line to read

<p class="room_info_text">{l s='sites information'}</p>

No changes are reflected on the cart page after uploading and refreshing. I only have the theme the installation came with. Is there some sort of initialization that I've got to run? What am I missing?

I've successfully edited the CSS, but attempting to add a whole library is going to cause trouble. Not recommended. As far as adding drag and drop capabilities, that's unlikely to happen unless you develop the theme yourself as it requires a fundamental rework.

Thank you @Faiz! I appreciate your quick response

Would it be possible to add available items to room bookings? For example, offering a bottle of wine, extra towels, another bed, or other amenities for a fee.

Removing the code block has allowed me to access the page, with errors. This has allowed me to advance to the point where I am able to add a room type, but I can not complete the room creation because adding anything to the configuration tab results in a modal displaying error:

Unknown error on line 2151 in file /classes/Tools.php
[8192] Function create_function() is deprecated

the line in question in tools.php reads:

return preg_replace_callback('/_+([a-z])/', create_function('$c', 'return strtoupper($c[1]);'), $str);
