You can see it in this <a title=\"Official Hub Demo\" href=\"http:\/\/www.solidres.com\/demo\" target=\"_blank\">live demo<\/a> or download now (for subscribers).<\/p>\n<h4>Overview characteristics<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Fast: since Hub is used for multiple reservation assets, it need to be extremely fast, this is the reason why we&#8217;ve done a large code re-factoring to keep the whole system cleaner, faster and more maintainable. In addition, in the search result page we use AJAX in filtering, sorting and pagination which doesn&#8217;t require a full page reload like other products.<\/li>\n<li>User friendly: we&#8217;ve put a lot of efforts to make sure it looks and works nicely in desktop\/mobile\/small screen. The layout is organized cleanly with a right amount of elements in right positions and showed at right times, we try out best to avoid overloading user with a lot of information. Making booking process a comfortable experience is always our ultimate goal.<\/li>\n<li>Modularity: we separate features into individual units and you only have to install what you want. At this point, Hub plugin comes with 3 modules (more to come).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Backend<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Manage facilities.<\/li>\n<li>Mange themes.<\/li>\n<li>Manage filter price range for each currency.<\/li>\n<li>New menu type to show the frontend dashboard.<\/li>\n<li>New menu type to show the frontend search page. This menu type has 2 parameters: Location and Category Ids which allows creating a menu to show specific location and specific categories (one or more categories).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Frontend: 3 new modules<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Advanced search: it is similar to the current Check Availability module but has an extra field to check availability by location.<\/li>\n<li>Filter: a smart filtering module with self-update capability. Allows filtering by price range, category, stars, theme, facility.<\/li>\n<li>Location map: it automatically display the mini map of current location, clicking on the mini map will show a nearly full screen map with all assets\/hotels in that location, we load the larger map on demand for better overall performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Frontend: Ajax-based advanced filter module and pagination<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Bookmarkable filtered results: for example you can filter for all 3-stars hotels in Rome which have the prices between $50 &#8211; $200 and have facilities like Wifi and Parking etc, then you can bookmark it for later reference or share it with your friend easily.<\/li>\n<li>Filtered results do not lost after page refreshed.<\/li>\n<li>Filter by price range (can be configured per currency, each currency has different range), can filter by one or multiple price ranges.<\/li>\n<li>Filter by categories.<\/li>\n<li>Filter by stars.<\/li>\n<li>Filter by themes (eg: Business, Romance \/ Honeymoon, Family).<\/li>\n<li>Filter by facilities (eg: Wifi, Parking, Pet friendly ).<\/li>\n<li>Self-update filter module: the filter module will automatically updated itself to reflect the current showed results. For example if you filtered for 3 stars hotels, all other filters like categories, themes, facilities, prices will automatically adjusted accordingly for 3 stars hotels only.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Frontend: Ajax-based sorting bar<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Allow sorting by stars, names.<\/li>\n<li>Show results in grid view or list view.<\/li>\n<li>Like the filtering feature, all sorted results can be bookmarked or shared easily.<\/li>\n<li>Sorted results do not lost after page refreshed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Frontend: Management<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Registered users have dedicated front end dashboard: manage reservation assets, room types, coupons, extras, limit bookings, reservations. (very similar to same tasks in backend).<\/li>\n<li>Each registered users is only able to mange their own reservation assets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Notes<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>As mentioned in <a title=\"Solidres 0.6.0 released\" href=\"http:\/\/www.solidres.com\/blog\/2014\/01\/27\/solidres-0-6-0-released\/\" target=\"_blank\">our previous blog post<\/a>, all current active subscribers at this point will be able to download Hub without having to subscribe new subscription level.<\/li>\n<li>Our template 7Start and BlueBee are not yet fully updated to run Hub, more information about templates updates will be announced later.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most requested Solidres&#8217;s feature is the ability to serve multiple reservation assets or in short: a booking portal, today we are glad to announce the availability of Hub 0.1.0.
