I'm going to use umbraco has my cms for a hotel site. In this site it's going to be possible to make online reservations, and my question is:
What is the best way to this registration visible in umbraco cms? Instead of two backoffices, how can i make visible in umbraco the management of online reservations? Is this possible, easy, hard, do you have any pointers to this?
First of all, I wouldn't use umbraco to manage the reservation data! I'd use custom tables to hold the reservation info. Reservations are not supposed to be versioned, something quite obvious for a cms system. But you could use the admin backend to do management of the reservations made on the site.
- Either create a dashboard control to manage the reservations. It's just a plain .net user control which you'd host in umbraco admin section.
- Create a custom section! In that case, you'd need some extra fiddling to get the things rolling, but it's should be fairly simple to build. Don't have pointers to links and tutorials atm, hope others will add some links here too.
My first aproach was exactly that, make my database model for the reservations. my real doubt was if it was possible, i mean, easy to include a management of my data in umbraco.
I'm going to investigate the "custom section", and hope that someone has an example on how to do it.
