Appointment Booking Pro
This is the appointment focused spin-off of the commercial Resource Booking Pro (RBPro) component for Joomla.
What it is.. An appointment booking tool for your Joomla site. Define any number of timeslots that a resource is available. A user can see when the resource is available and book an appointment. Timeslots are day-of-the-week based, not date based so it is easy to setup your availability and it will repeat week-to-week. The system supports book-offs for days the resource is not available. The Appointment Booking Pro component is ideally suited to businesses that run with daily appointments like doctors or hair stylists. With the ability to limit bookings to a specific block of dates, it can also be used for event based appointments like parent - teacher interviews or class sign-ups.
What it is not.. Appointment Booking Pro is not an event management system. It is not a $50 replacement for a $10,000 dedicated medical office management system. It is not a Calendar system. It can insert booking entries into a few 3rd party calendars and it has a calendar view for resource administrators.
What is the difference between Resource Booking Pro and Appointment Booking Pro..
With RBPro the user-tells-you how long the booking will last. The user sets the start and end times.
With ABPro you-tell-the-user what time blocks are available. They pick one of the available timeslots or appointments.
Version 1.4 features..
- PayPal - accept payment for appointment bookings via PayPal, Website Standard
- Front Desk - New front-end screen - 3 different views of appointments: Month view, Week view, Day view. Links to booking detail and reminder senders.
- SMS Messages - send SMS text message reminders and notifications to users via Clickatell.com (account required)
Version 1.4.1 features..
- Service based costs - you can set a cost at the service level. If a service cost is specified, it will override the resource level cost. Only applicable if using PayPal
- Support for Google Calendar - Set at resource level so each resource can have it's own Goolge Calendar
- Support for JCalPro version 2
Version 1.4.2 features..
- Limited Community Builder integration - pull CB profile data into the ABPro booking screens. Map 'Phone' or any UDF to any CB profile text field.
- New Resource setting 'Access', sets availabilty by user status, you can set a resource as being available to everyone (public and logged in users), only logged in users, or only non-logged in users.
- Service based duration (works with GAD Booking Screen ONLY!) - you can set a booking duration at the service level. If a service duration is specified, the booking end date/time will adjust to force the booking to be the pre-defined duration.(May 5/09)
- GNU/GPL (May 5/09)
- Resource specific UDFs - Have any UDF (User Defined Field) show for 'all' resources or just for 'specific' resource(s). (May 17/09)
- New modes 'Single Resource' and 'Single Category' can be called either via menu parameters or querystring. (May 31/09)
Verison 1.4.3 features
Added the concept of ‘seats per booking’, you will be able to:
- Set maximum seats at the resource level.
- Define any number of seat types and their associated costs (ex: Adult - $10, Child - $5, etc)
- Supports group rate where you define a fixed price for a group of up to x people.
- The booking screen will allow the user to enter how many of each type of seat. If PayPal is enabled, charges will calculate based on number and type of seats chosen.
- Booking validation will ensure the booking does not exceed the max seats for that resource in that timeslot.
- View/print details of bookings for a timeslot (eg: passenger manifest or class list)
Coupon system - Create any number of coupon codes, give to your customer for discounted booking charges.
- Works in conjunction with PayPal enabled bookings
- Fixed Value or Percent discount
- Set max usage, total and/or per user
- Admin screen shows current total coupons used count
- Expiry Date
- If cost discounts to $0, no trip to PayPal.
