Even if it works fine as module, I strongly recommend to use a dedicated vBulletin installation for it. It comes with a unique template to use with.
Demo:
1.- What's this?
You don't need to spend thousands of dollars to start your very own Tripadvisor®, Expedia®, or Travelocity® like Travel Portal. With microTRAVEL, you can have even more features than those. microTRAVEL is the ultimate solution for Travel Agents, Tour Operators and Travel Portals, to increase their direct sales. None other script has so many (and unique) features like this. Don't believe it? Give a try to the Online Demo.
2.- Popular Features
* Powerfull Tours Search Form: Let your visitors search by Date period, City of Origin, Destination, Transfer type, Tour type, Accommodation, Max Price, Duration. They can also search for Featured, Editor choice, Popular or Tours in promotion!
* Unlimited Depth of Categories: You can add as many levels of categories (destinations) as you like. Sophisticated 2 part menu. Upper block contains menu options for the active destination, while the other block contains links to subdestinations.
* A Dozen of menu options per Destination: Overview (showing latests information from all other menu options). Browse Tours, Articles, Photos, Videos, Forums, Classifieds, Events, and finally Travelmates (a unique feature). Classifieds and Articles, list all related categories.
* Add special usergroups (eg Touroperators, Hoteliers) and then setup paid subscriptions for upgrading to these usergroups to be able to post in Market place.
3.- Installation
The installation is pretty easy, has been checked many times for installing and uninstalling the product. Just follow these steps below:
* Download and unzip the file microTRAVEL.zip
* Open the folder vbulletin and select all files and subfolders inside it
* Connect to your website and open the directory where is your vBulletin installation (usally forum, forums, portal etc).
* Upload the selected files to your site. If you fellow the right way then the file travel.php must be on the same level as the index.php file of vBulletin.
* Before any new installation is good to backup your database before, even if nobody is doing it (including me). At lease turn your site off
* Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system is enabled.
* From your AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products choose Add/Import Product and import the product: product-microrequests.xml
* microTRAVEL has it's own style (template). From Styles&Templates-> Download/Upload styles import the file: microtravel-style.xml Please check to ignore template version.
4.- Configuration
As every vBulletin product, you need to make some initial configuration before it goes live.
* Start with microTRAVEL Options and give special attention to choose microTRAVEL style (last option).
* Go throught and setup ALL tables (eg Destinations, Origin etc).
* Setup usergroup permissions.
5.- Template Modification
The module is using it's own templates, so it doesn't needs any template modification except if you want to add a link to the navbar. In this case you need to modify the NavBar template.
