I've currently modified the front end to sell tickets instead of rooms by changing some strings on the cart page and setting the "room" to only available on one day. This is pretty hacky and I was wondering if there was a way to, for example, set a different room type which I can then style out as a product.

@akanksha25 I'm not looking for something to be developed, just some hints on how one might do this. I've got a hacked way to make it happen, but that's not quite what I'm going for.

I'd like to be able to direct my customers to my website to purchase consumable items. Is there a way to add a product that is not a "room" which allows people to purchase a product, for example a shirt? I'm aware of the additional facilities, but this is for customers who are currently on-site.

Hello, I would like to add content to the order confirmation email template. Specifically, I want to add check in details to the email so customers know more vital information about their stay. I'm comfortable in HTML, JS, and PHP.

Unrelated, is there a way to expose the room numbers available? I've got customers who want to pick specific rooms.

Thank you!

@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?
