    Example of showing it on header:

    Dates on side column:

  • Add quantity input on product listing pages this can be turned off if not wanted via a setting

  • Add Rental Queue report for Queue Popularity, has the columns: Product, Number in Customer Queue, Total Inventory, Checked Out Inventory, Available Inventory
  • Separate dropoff/pickup date from send/return date. This is so that the admin can double check on dropoff and pickup of inventory that all the products are there, and not assume so
  • Better time of day view on customer side so customer can see if renting within a day what times are available for busy and available times
  • All language defines moved to CSV language translate file, no longer hardcoded in the Observer
