Welcome to the jAC Wiki


This wiki attempts to provide useful tips and tricks for using the various parts of the jAC TheRentalCalendar applications.

Hosted jACTheRentalCalendar

  • The Calendar Section of the wiki is for basic use of the basic hosted HOSTED Version of jAC. Owners register at the site and then define properties and associate calendars with the properties. Availability Information is entered and maintained in jAC, or the calendar is linked with and existing calendar from another provider, such as Rentors.Org. Owners can use links to these calendars from their own or other websites.

The jAC API

  • The jAC API is a php library that you can use to build small applications for retrieving and displaying and searching availability data. The api works regardless of where your data comes from (jAC or another provider, such as Rentors.Org). All the remaining examples use this api. The pre-built Wordpress, OpenRealty, and php Group sites use the functions in the jAC API.

  • The jAC Server is the script that is used on the hosted version of jAC. For limited use and a negotiated cost, this script can be downloaded and run from your server.

Open-Realty Addon

  • The Open Realty Addon is an independent application for integrating availability data from any source (jAC, rentors.org, etc..) into your open realty application. This does not require an property or user to be on the Hosted system. It is independent of availability data source.

Group Web Sites


If you enter PROPERTY DATA into jAC HOSTED then you can also build mini websites or WordPress Blog, using these tools. These can be accessed as examples from within jAC HOSTED, and you can download them here to customize for your own sites.

(Actually, it is not a requirement to put your data in jAC. If you know enough php, you can use your own property data on your own server and still make these tools work! Read more in the wiki)

  • PHP Group Site is a standalone php script built using the api to get your jAC data. Sample links are in the Hosted version for any properties you have in jAC. You can download this script and use it on your own server. This section of the wiki tries to explain how to install and use the php script.

  • The Wordpress Plugin is fairly simple plugin that implements the php Group Site within your Wordpress Blog. You can download this script and use it on your own server to display your jAC data inside your Blog. This section of the wiki tries to explain how to install and use the WordPress Plugin.
