Hi,

I have to make a holiday agency website for ski trips.
I've cretaed several page types:
* Holiday_holder: holds the type of holiday (example: group, individual,....)
* Country_holder: holds the country
* Resort: Information of the skiresort (amount of slopes, lifts, height,...)
* Hotel: Info about the hotel (price, ....)

So, a hotel will be located under: Holiday->Country->Resort->Hotel
(example: Group holidays -> France -> Les GEts -> Action Hotel)

Some questions:
1)Where do I best add the available booking periods for a hotel?
I also need to attach to each period, the available rooms for that period and also the roomtypes (2persons, 2children room / 2persons, 1child romm/......
I know you can have a many to may relationship, but how does this work. I can't find the right documentation for this.

2) Is there somewhere a demo available of the current e-commerce website?
Thx,
Frederick Eyland

I'll leave someone else to answer #1 but with #2, yes, parentsinc.org.nz is a good demo of the shop . . .

http://demoshop.silverstripe.com is an another example of the e-commerce module

Can I also see a demo of the backend?

just a hint, maybe there are mistakes

class Period extends DataObject {
static has_one = array (
  'Hotel' => 'Hotel';
);
}


class Hotel ... {
static has_many = array(
  'Periods' => 'Period';
);


//usage
$periods = $this->Periods();
// or maybe
$periods = $this->getManyManyComponents('Periods');
// for more sophisticated queries
$periods = DataObject::get('Period',...);

This is my hotel.php script

<?

/**
 * Defines the Hotel page type
 */
class Hotel extends Page {
   static $db = array(
   'PriceInfo' => 'Text'
   );
   static $has_one = array(
   	'Photo' => 'Image'
   );

   static has_many = array(
       'Periods' => 'Period';
   );

   static $icon = "mysite/images/treeicons/hotel";
   static $defaults = array(
   		'ProvideComments' => false
	);
   static $allowed_children = array('Room');

   function getCMSFields() {
      	$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
      	$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Images", new ImageField('Photo'));
        $fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Price Info", new HTMLEditorField("PriceInfo","Give price information"));
       	return $fields
   }
}

class Hotel_Controller extends Page_Controller {

}

?>

Questions:
--------------
* Where do I add the code in the script:

class Period extends DataObject {
static has_one = array (
  'Hotel' => 'Hotel';
);
} 

* Where do I add the several available periods? Do I need to make for each period a node in the sitetree?

* To select the different periods available for hotel, I use TreeMultiselectField?

$periods = $this->getManyManyComponents('Periods');
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Price Info", new TreeMultiselectField("Periods","Give the available
periods",$periods , $keyField, $labelField));

What do I put in $keyField ?

You don't necessarily need to use TreeMultiSelect, for example you could use CheckboxSetField which would allow the same behaviour where a dropdown field wouldn't work since you're only selecting one component.
