    Booking System with Umbraco...How?

    Hi,

    How is possible to create a booking system with Umbraco? Have you any ideas or example?

    You can do anything with Umbraco. We just released a booking site, 100% Umbraco.

    So like car rental? Typically you would build system with own backend db and front end usercontrols those controls you would then expose as macros then use those macros on umbraco pages. Maybe keep the car definitions as nodes in umbraco and store in your db when doing the booking.

    Well, its kind of hard to explain exactly how to do it as it really depends on the desired workflow.

    We used Umbraco to store everything, just because you can and Umbraco is nice to work with. Then we built xslt extensions, usercontrols, macros, xslts, custom dashboard controls and so on.

    You can do it the way Ismail suggest, or the way we did. Really depends on your requierments. We needed a lot of functions that Umbraco already had, like version control, logging of diffrent actions, and so on. Only pain is to keep dev and production site in sync when doing all Umbraco, but Niels proberly has a solution to that pretty soon :-)

    Yes, Car Rental. But How build a book/checkout workflow (  N Umbraco Pages ( with button to go next/previous page "response.redirect(Page) ) or one Page with custom usercontrol ) ?

    If you had cars like Umbraco Nodes ( with standard price, photos, descr ) , How filter them between a date1 and date2 if not already booked? And display special price?
