The upcoming iCal plugin v1.1.0 will support importing from multiple iCal sources (URLs). Although syncing via iCal is not as robust as using channel manager, it is still preferred by many users because it is a more affordable solution to sync availability across multiple sites.
This version is the first major release this year with a lot of new features, improvements and bug fixes. Please note that it is a BETA release which is for testing purpose only, please don’t use it in your production site.
This is one of the most voted feature request in our forum: to store media items in separated folder for each property/room type/experience. We also rewrite the current media manager to simplify the code base and eliminate jQuery dependency entirely. The new media manager is planned for version 2.14.0.
The upcoming Hub/iCal/Invoice releases will integrate with Joomla 4 Task Scheduler. For website administrators, it’d make the CRON job setup and maintenance easier. For extension developers, Joomla 4 Task Scheduler provides a good foundation to build CRON functionality.
Welcome 2023, we’d like to celebrate the new year with a new feature highlight: OpenStreetMap (OSM). It will be the default map provider for Solidres (planned for v2.14.0) in addition to Google Maps. OSM configuration is a lot simpler than Google Maps (no need to enable billing to use it like Google Maps). Our plan is to add OSM into the core version first, then we will continue adding it into commercial Solidres extensions.
