PayFast for Taxi Booking
 I recently just bought your the taxi booking but later i find it hard to get it to function inline with out operation. We have two 18 seaters that run as taxi. we charge per seat and not per car.

1. How do i get the system to book per seat and show the remaining seats available
2. We would also want the car to only go off the booking form interface when the seats are full.
3. People can book from any of the two taxi to leave at a certain time.e.g the taxis leaves at 6am, 11 am and 2pm.
4. how do i get the taxi to become available the on booking form if say the taxi drove only for two hours and its now free.
5. How do i get the currency to appear on the back of the amount not the from e.g 500 frs. is correct but frs. 500 is wrong.

Please kindly assist us get around this. Your component is amazing, we are so much in love with it. The car runs in Cameroon.

Hi Bruno,
Taxi Booking currently doesn't have the capability to book per passenger, we have researched this possibility and came up with a development cost that is published on in the crowd funding section of our website: ADD PRICE PER PASSENGER AND ADDITIONAL LUGGAGE CHARGE. As soon as we raise the funds necessary for that development we will add it as core functionality.
This will include blocking off the car when all seats have been sold out. However, since you have set times for leaving (6am, 11 am and 2pm) this looks more like a shuttle business rather than taxi. Taxi Booking will calculate the time necessary for each trip and block off the car for that date/time, if you need to compensate for "dead mileage/time" where the car travels without passengers you can do so in the Base tab of the Settings panel, there you can add coordinates of your Base and specify if the system should calculate time (and additional price) for travel from Base to Pick up and from Drop off to Base. There also you can manually add time after each booking which will block off the car in addition to that added time.
Currency symbols usually are published at the front of the amount. You can change that in the code of Taxi Booking if it is a big issue.

Hope this helps.
Regards.

Please can you assist me setup the system to keep booking each car i list continuously. the list of cars should not go unavailable but every other thing else function the same. i just want to get going, hopefully when the shuttle bus script is ready i will migrate, but for now i have to get what i just bought to at-least meet me half way.

also the currency position to move to the back.
Let me know if you need anything to assist with above.

There is a setting at the back end Taxi Booking > Cars > Track availability, if you set this to No for each car that you like then it will not be blocked off when a booking is made but rather will be available for the same Date/time.
This will not affect the Working hours for that car in the table below and Working hours will still be respected as availability.
You can also create different Cars that will work different times of the day eg. only 6am to 10am and 11am to 1pm etc.
Hope this helps.
Best regards.
