Thread: Automatically updated availability calendars

Hi guys,

This question is a challanging one, or at least it is for me.

I am looking to build sites where I promote a few different hotels in certain areas and have people pay on my site rather than theirs.

What I want to know is how can I have a calendar on my website with that hotel's current availability on my website?

To make it clear this is how I want the process to happen:
Customer clicks on my site, likes one of the hotels that I talk about, sees that they can check the availability on that page by typing in the dates, and can then purchase on our site.

Here is an example: http://www.peninsulapages.com/bytheb...Accommodation/ (not an affiliate link)

It has an availability calendar link which then takes you to the live availability.

Having the updated availability is my problem. Is it a matter of using specific software or grabbing some code from their site?

This is a tough one so thank you very much in advance for your input!

Matt

Think you will have problems unless all the hotels on your site are using the same system you are, which is not lightly, & getting their permission to do this, as it wont work by interrogating their pages.

Thanks for your reply Chris.

But if that is the case then how can the company on the above website do it?
