Thank you for your quick reply.
We will test the plug-in using the free version and if we have any other questions we will come back to you.

Thanks for your reply.
I was asking about the Hotel Booking as we are clear that Car Rental and Booking plug-ins are not suitable for the cycling rental business.
The Hotel Booking is going to have to be what we use for the cycling company as well as all our hotels.
I will send you the information we need on your website in order to avoid confusion.

Thanks for coming back to me.
I am just trying your Booking system on another site that requires changing their platform and I noted it allows use of “Sub Units”.
I wonder if this will allow the following for this client:
- Maintenance History or Notes
- Multiple Unit Booking
You suggested I contact you direct on your website, but I wonder if that requires us to purchase a licence, or can we just register so that we can ask these questions for each of our clients under separate subject. That will allow us to get answers for the right modules.
With the exception of this client, all our other clients are hospitality sector, which we are testing at the moment.

We have installed the car rental, but have noted the following:
- Both Booking Items and Car Rental cannot co-exist. Car rental uses Categories and Items of the Booking Items, but does not display options of Car Rental such as individual units ID and history. We had to deactivate the Booking Items plug-in, which then allowed us to use Car Rental Admin creating categories, items, and other settings.
- Shortcodes – Unlike the Booking Items, there is no way of creating a Shortcode to show “Categories”. The option is not available in the drop down which includes “Availability” etc.
- Multiple Items – The system does not allow multiple items in a single rental. This is understandable as it is unlikely for a car hire client to need more than 1 car. This is important as usually bike rental is done for multiple bikes. We may have missed this in the settings.
- Check box – This is still hidden but we will look into it once we have tested everything else.
- Appreciate if you could give us some guidance on the issues from 2 to 4.

Sorry to bother you again.
Can the Car Rental plug-in and this plug-in co-exist on the website or would there be conflict?
We do not propose to use both in a live situation, but want to manually copy the test content into the Car Rental plug-in. This will save a lot of time specially as this website has 6 languages with translations that we have already done for Categories and Test Items.

In reply to: [VikRentItems Flexible Rental Management System] Multilingual UseSorry one question. The car rental items and pricing, etc. appear to be set up the same as booking plug-in.
So 2 questions:
- Is there any way I can export the data from booking and import it it Car Rental?
- If 1 is not available, can the 2 plug-ins coexist in the same installation, so that I can manually copy and paste fields such as Descriptions, Translations, etc.?
Thanks

In reply to: [VikRentItems Flexible Rental Management System] Multilingual UseGood morning
Thanks for your quick reply.
Will check the CSS to see what is preventing this from working.
For the inventory management, we are better to do the Car Rental as that gives the client maintenance history.
I suspect the setting up process is very much the same as the current plugin we are using, with additional settings. Is that correct?

I am sorry to bother you again. We are now testing the booking process and found the following:
- Check Box for Terms and Conditions does not work. There is no tick box for the client to accept the terms. It only shows the text “I agree with terms and Conditions” and link to the page with T&Cs but no way of actually accepting it, which means it will not allow the booking to process!
- Inventory notes – I realise this might not be available, but it is critical for bike and car hire to have each unit in the inventory identified with a Ref number or in case of cars their Registration Number. This is for 2 reasons. Firstly the company needs to know who has rented which unit. Secondly, for Health and Safety reasons, each unit needs to have a history of service, damage, repairs, etc. There is no way of identifying the inventory by units and keep a record of maintenance or incident history. Is this something available in Pro or just not available at all?

Thanks for the tip. I already had realised that but this client was urgent so we are trying this plugin first.
I assume the general capabilities are the same, and they just differ in semantics and some features that are unique to their relative sectors.
We will be trying your Booking Engine and will contact you via your website as the critical issue for hotels is Channel Management and how it integrates with each portal.

In reply to: [VikRentItems Flexible Rental Management System] Multilingual UseThanks for your quick reply.
We are testing this for the client in English before they purchase the Pro. I apologize for constant questions. Once we have got our head around the plug-in, we hopefully we will be able to fly solo.
In summary for multilingual websites we need to use the Pro so that we can translate the Custom Fields in order to make the booking forms usable for visitors.
Your comment ring lang=*.* is noted and makes perfect sense.
We are talking to 3 other clients (hotels) who want to change their booking platforms but they are all multilingual too.

In reply to: [VikRentItems Flexible Rental Management System] Multilingual UseHi Guys
We have been testing the plug-in (free version) and have come across a few issues that are not covered in your documentation. They include the following:
Custom Fields
- We cannot find way of pointing the the “Check Box” to a different Terms and Conditions page. This field does not come up in Translations section.
- How do we translate each question? When we go to Global > Translations > Custom Fields, we only see 4 fields and it is unclear what each field refers to! For example what is VRISEPDRIVERD? What is Entries? What is “Popup”? These do not appear to be in your documentation.
Shortcodes
We understand that we can only use 1 shortcode per page. Is that correct?
- When we create shortcode, can we use “All Languages” and then manually edit the lang=”.” field or do we have to create a code for each language?
- When we select specify the lang”” field, will the labels such as “Book Now”, etc automatically change to the defined language or do we need to use a plugin such as Loco Translate?
Appreciate your guidance in this.

In reply to: [VikRentItems Flexible Rental Management System] Multilingual UseThank you.
We have downloaded the free plug-in to test the basics before buying the Pro as we know the client needs the pro since they need Optional Items.

Thanks for your quick reply and action. We have updated the plugin and it is working correctly now.
Thanks for the other hints. I will get our development engineers to check these out.

I can confirm the upgrade works and errors have disappeared. The Promo Panel is also not freezing.
Thanks for your quick reply and fix.
