PBBooking v4: November Update

Please note: PBBooking has been discontinued.

As of February 2018 we made the decision to discontinue PBBooking. Joomla extensions proved to be a non viable business model and I needed to take work elsewhere to pay bills. Support will be provided to users with current subscriptions until the end of those subscriptions.

There are no plans to support Joomla versions beyond Joomla 3.8.

I'm really excited to announce that PBBooking v4 is now available for early adopters. I have marked this as a release candidate and will mark as stable once the 4.0.1 release comes out to correct any issues reported by early adopters in the 4.0 release.

There's a whole bunch of things that are new in this release and I will be updating the documentation as quickly as a I can. To summarise though:

There's a new view that looks a whole lot more modern than the existing views. More info is PBBooking v4 Preview: New Single Page View Video.
The validation workflows have been modularised and converted into plugins. More info is here: Modularising Validation Workflows.
The recurring appointments functionality has been converted into plugins to allow additional logic and support extensions to the booking process. More info is here: PBBooking v4 Development Update – Modularising Recurring Appointments
Stripe payment gateway has now been added as a payment option.
If you only have a single calendar or single service these will be auto selected rather than requiring user selection.
The manage diaries has been converted to a module to share between front and back end. More info is here: In Pbbooking v4 Manage Diaries module is not displaying in administrator
If you choose to use EasyCron the cron jobs can now be created automatically. More info is here: How to use Easycron with PBBooking v4

The downloads are available in the download pages. If you do decide to take v4 for a test drive make sure you raise a support ticket with anything you find that needs correcting.
