Multi Availability Calendar for Joomla

Multi Availability Calendar is a calendar for websites that use Joomla CMS. This calendar is designed to edit (at the backend) and display (at the frontend) the availability of multiple elements, such as rooms, cars, bikes, seats in entertainment or touristic activities, but also professional availabilities, like those of a personal trainer, hairdresser, doctor, lawyer, tutor and many more - allowing to locate available days at first glance. It can also be used to set and display prices for certain ranges of days, for example seasonal prices.

Features

It can be used as a module, component and plugin in the frontend to show the availability of several elements simultaneously;
From the backend you can set the unavailable or busy days in different colors to highlight different reasons, or ranges of busy days.
From the backend, you can associate information to each range of days; it will be presented in form of floating panels, which facilitates the publication of details on the days marked as reserved or, for example, to show the booking rates for certain ranges of days. This information may be private (only for the backend) or public (will be shown in floating panels which appear on mouse-over in the frontend).
Management interface uses Ajax technologies, making it comfortable, modern and easy to use.
Allows to put links on calendar days, so that different dates can link to pages with related information.
By editing the CSS files you can adjust the look & feel of the calendar.
Purchase of this product includes access to our Premium Support service.
