I think the support for this component has been completly lost somewhere in the middle. No updates for years.

I think the author has abandoned this project!

I have been searching for a script that suit travel agency needs for quite a while. I have found solunas few months back however there are problems with the service
1) it is being hosted under Solunas server result in problem (when page is down)
2) It does not suit exactly what I need and I can't customise it as it is being hosted under Solunas server
3) The support forum are as good as dead.

So, I signed up and try to integrate with Joomla and then leave it just like that coz no changes can be done to the script to suit my needs.

Few days back, I entered the Solunas website once again... and I found that there is a choice to have it hosted in Solunas server or to download and install it in our very own server... there are few files download links and I love it.

Just like what I need and I can customize it according to my need and the basic is there. The manual are available too... the code are also available.. I love it. This is a very good improvement... well done Marc..

this add on is definitely not ready for prime time.

Why for example is backend processing restricted to using the Solunas server???

Owner's reply:
From 1.8 you have a free choice for backend processing.

I got the Joomla extension and language files to work pretty easily but could not get any standard forms to work. Also credit card processing did not seem to work and language files do not work in administrator backend.

Could become editor's pick if developer moves away from making backend processing on own server mandatory and documentation on customizing to your own needs could be improved as well.

The availability calendar is just the first step. The Booking form will come in the next step (as a component). Solunas is providing the full range of functions you need for your travel/hospitality business. The Joomla! Solunas Connectior is just a front end component.

I have been looking a for a great online reservation and booking system, in Joomla, for a while. Solunas was a new one on me and I tried it immediately.

Its easy to set up, but I could see that its easy because it lacks many features that I'd like. However if what you want is basic availabilty calendar displayed in a module this does the job very well. May be I was expecting too much.

A full implementation of Solunas would add a booking form too, that allows guest to book - but this feature is not in this module (or at least I couldn't find it).

A more complete solution would also allow for credit card payments and although there is a feature in Solunas to turn this on, I could not find any pages of help to describe (in simple terms) how.
