Hello,
I am looking if I could create a availability calendar form in Chronoforms,
something similar to this:
http://lesrivesexperience.com/booking/

I mean :
- following the choice in a dropdown menu it display different calendars inline (and not when one clicks on the datepicker)
- the calendar must be an “availability calendar” (Available or Booked)
- on “mouse over” the date, it’ll show the price
< this price will be show in a Total line
< this amount will be multiplied by the number of passengers (which will be selected from another dropdown menu choice)
< after that and after completing the rest of the form < have the opportunity to pay the total amount by Paypal
Is it possible to do all of that ?
Is it complicated ? (I'm not a Joomla specialist nor a specialist of codes)
Thank you very much,
Ivan

Hi ivan,

Yes it is possible; yes it is moderately complicated :-(

You will need some custom JavaScript to read the calendar settings, display the cost and calculate the total. To replicate this exactly you would need some kind of custom calendar as the standard ChronoForms one doesn't show dates in the same way. (This form is using this jQuery plug-in calendar.)

Also setting PayPal up can be a bit complex if you need to use Instant Payment Notification.

Hello Bob,

thanks for your answer !

If you said that's moderately complicated, it will surely be too complicated for me ! 😀

I'll try to find another solution.

Thanks,
Ivan

hello, the example site you give seems to be a wordpress-site with this plugin:

here you can see in which version you have to invest based on needed features.
