Planyo - Aktualności
2010/07/31 New version of the plugins (v1.4) allows them to run correctly also when jQuery is used on the same page.
2010/07/31 You can now temporarily hide specific resources if you don't want users to be able to find them in the search or reserve them. This is very useful for production sites which want to test newly added resources before publishing them.
2010/07/31 We've added a powerful tool to set-up pricing: Pricing Manager. It replaces the old pricing settings: Discounts and Seasonal prices. This tool allows you to specify prices/discounts for a wide range of rules (e.g. depending on weekday, on date range, on number of persons etc.). Even complex pricing models can be entered into Planyo using Pricing Manager.
2010/07/31 When your clients add custom notes to their reservations, you will now see an icon next to these reservations in the Reservations tab. The notification emails' title will be also marked to quickly let you know there are custom user notes which you may need to respond to.
2010/07/24 New, permanent 45% discount on SMSes sent by Planyo. The new price is EUR 8 per 100 SMS notifications so it's one more reason to use this feature and have Planyo automatically notify admins or users by text messages (when reservation is made, confirmed, cancelled etc.). This discount was possible by limiting the list of countries for this feature and by better pricing offered by our SMS gateway.
2010/07/20 You can now specify the exact admin pages the resource admins have access to.
2010/07/19 Updates to custom messages: They are now sent with your own FROM field. If you send yourself a test message, it will use data from the last reservation entered. You may also specify multiple BCC fields (comma-separated) for all custom emails.
2010/07/12 You now have full control over the reservation form. You can hide any standard field or set their default value (e.g. country), you can define ordering of all fields (e.g. move your custom fields to the top), add new sections etc.
2010/07/11 You can now translate the dropdown values of your additional reservation fields to other languages.
2010/07/03 We have completely redone the reports. Whether delivered to your Google Docs, by email, or created on request, all is now grouped in a single place. You can request HTML, PDF or CSV reports and you can even edit the template to have full control over the report contents and layout.
2010/06/24 Administrators can now enter reservations also during vacation time. Other than a warning message, such reservation will be marked as conflicted.
2010/06/02 We have added support for integration with Google Calendar and Google Docs. Google Calendar integration works similar to iCal feeds but reservations appear without the standard delay of Goog Calendar. Google Docs integration makes it possible for Planyo to upload reports directly to your Google Docs in form of spreadsheets.
2010/05/21 Planyo now supports OpenID! All users can now log into planyo with an OpenID provider (such as Google, AOL or Yahoo) without the need to have a separate Planyo login / password.
2010/05/21 Romanian is now the 11th language that your clients can use to make a booking with Planyo.
2010/05/17 The settings pages in the admin panel have been modified for easier navigation. You can still use the quick links dropdown to access the settings or to edit them.
2010/05/04 Additional products (hidden or selectable by clients) can now be made available or unavailable for specific resources.
2010/04/30 When entering reservations in the admin panel for your clients you can choose to prevent Planyo from sending any emails to them.
2010/04/27 Advanced integration now allows you to add language choice and availability preview to the reservation form

2010/04/27 The Planyo module (advanced integration) is now SEO-friendly. The resource list and resource details pages will be indexed by Google and other search engines.
2010/04/27 All modules (Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress, DreamWeaver, modX, Typo3) have been upgraded to version 1.3. Old modules will still work fine but you will not be able to use the new features.
2010/02/19 We've updated the default search templates to make search results more attractive. Please keep in mind that you can always modify the defaults to present the results in any way you like.

2010/02/04 You now have a choice of either accepting online payments through PayPal or
moneybookers.com. Moneybookers is a very popular payment gateway and besides all popular credit and debit cards it supports a wide range of domestic funding options in over 200 countries.
2010/02/03 We've added image gallery / slideshow to advanced integration (modules). Now when the thumbnail is clicked in resource view, the users can see large images, just like on planyo.com
2010/01/29 Admins can now add custom comments to their clients' accounts. This can be useful if you have clients who often reserve with you and you'd like to add a note about their preferences or any other information useful to you as the administrator.
2010/01/27 Times when resources cannot be reserved (resource vacations) can now be set with a 15-min precision (previously 1h).
2010/01/21 We introduced a new home page layout which we hope will make the navigation easier.
2010/01/19 For hour-based reservations you can now limit the possible start times to a list of times set by you. This can be useful e.g. if you want users to book starting on even hours only.

2010/01/06 The integration assistant now allows you to use a WordPress plugin to easily integrate the booking system into your WordPress-based website.

2009/12/15 Advanced integration has become even more powerful. There is now a new mode that shows a full list of resources of your planyo site, then resource details after choosing a resource. Thanks to this, you now only need to update your content once (in Planyo) and your site will be updated automatically.
2009/11/23 A new language (Finnish) has been added, so now your clients can make bookings in 10 languages.

2009/11/03 Planyo META sites have now been published. With a META site a single administrator can efficiently administer many Planyo sites and users can search across all resources of a META site. A typical use case is a site for tourism in an area (e.g. a skiing resort) with a number of independent vacation home owners taking reservations.
2009/10/26 Would you like to accept online payments but don't wish to pay the credit card processing fees? Now you can have Planyo add the PayPal fees to the amont to be paid by the user if they decide to pay online.

pricing, we've lowered the Planyo PRO pricing of additional resources by 20%.

2009/10/22 If you offer different services that take a different amount of time (e.g. a beauty salon) you can now have the users choose start time and service type. The system will automatically reserve the required amount of time for selected service type (e.g. 30min or 1h depending on service requested).
2009/10/05 We have an
affiliate program with a 25% affiate commission paid not on a one-time basis but for the whole duration of a Planyo site created as a result of your referral.

2009/07/01 You may now specify an external script (hosted on your server) that will determine both reservation price and whether booking is possible for given period. This makes it easy for Planyo to match every imaginable pricing and scheduling model.
2009/04/24 If you don't have a website, why not use Planyo's automatically created site as your visit card? Now your Planyo site can be accessed through an easy URL, such as http://www.planyo.com/booking/your-site-name

2009/04/21 Customized user interface texts: you can now fully customize the texts that your visitors see. For example if you rent bikes you can replace the general word 'resource' with 'bike'. The same applies to any other text that the system displays to the visitors.
2009/04/15 You can now assign custom colors to reservations. The colors don't have any preassigned meaning, you may use them if you wish to group your bookings, e.g. bookings from friends can be marked green and those with special requirements red, etc.

2009/04/10 New pricing model (for some uses only, e.g. hotels, holiday apartments, yachts). In this model you pay no monthly subscription fee but there's a 3% commission on all online reservations. The reservations entered by you are free of charge.

differences between the two versions.
