During this morning we've launched a series of improvements in CloudHotelier that affect both our home page and the control panel. That's because when we launched CloudHotelier in late November, it was all a bit rushed. CloudHotelier was not sufficiently developed at a marketing level, we knew from the beginning that we would need a lot of work to be ready.

In this video tutorial you'll learn how to install and configure cloudhotelier extension on Joomla! 1.7 

1. Install Joomla! 1.7. Please, rememeber that CURL must be installed on your server.
2. Install cloudhotelier package using joomla extension manager
3. Configure cloudhotelier component with YOUR website id and API key. 
4. Create a menu item to "Single Hotel Booking". Insert your hotel ID.
5. Publish cloudhotelier module and assign it to the menu Item you have just created. Remember: all cloudhotelier menu items MUST have cloduhotelier module published.
6. You're done, now you can recieve reservetions through your website.
7. Do not forget to publish User Tracker plugin, in order to track user stats with your booking

I'ts been a long road from when we've started developing cloudhotelier. We have been working on toursim industry with Joomla! for some years now. We had the vision to offer our professional tools to the Joomla! community, and that's what we are doing now!

Cloudhotelier is a new kind of Joomla! extension, that is connected to a centralized control panel. Maybe you find this is a rare thing, but this is the only possible approach, in the hospitality industry, to build a serious tool.
