Bookings module - current version 2.22 (see page 13)

[WebBird]

Thanks for your suggestions. I will wait a while for more suggestions before doing a new version.

Suggestions?

Hi there,
if You don´t know how to really enrich Your module, just think about an hourly rental. Not only daily. There are a lot of things out there which could be rented timebased.
Tennis-place, squash-hall, badminton-hall, bowling-hall - just to name a few of them. Bicycle, Bungee-Jump or sailing-boat. Helicopter or personal-trainer.

And once You are on programming - add a history and a daily/weekly overview. Add more "user-fields" so You can trace which "user" rented which place how often?

Just imagine You own 3 Tennishalls with 2 Places in each and You are going to run business with them.

I think You shouldn´t wait for suggestions - just go on writing not to loose time.

I was testing this module but unfortunately on the server where I could make use of it, it doesn´t create a booking. Installing was ok, creating a booking failed without any comment. In the frontend I can see an untouched empty calendar. - In the backend nothing, an untouched empty screen. Instead of input-field for the date/time.

And I dont have a glue....

This was added with version 1.10.

There already is a day view. It's linked automatically from year view when times are given. Please see page 2 of this thread.

I think You shouldn´t wait for suggestions - just go on writing not to loose time.

This module did all I wanted it to do with the first version, and I never planned to add new features. However, I like to hear suggestions, 'cause this makes the module more attractive to more WB users. That does not mean that I will ever add all features someout shouts for. I collect and decide what I like (time feature) and what I don't like (online payment features, as I think this should be available module independent).

There is no time to loose for me, 'cause I am doing this as a hobby and not for money.

Hi WebBird,

thanks for this Modul. I tested it (I want to use it on www.cvjm-waldheim.de) and have a Problem; perhaps you can help me.

I installed the Modul on WB 2.7 (langage german, Table Prefix is used for this installation), PHP 4.4.9, MySQL 5 (hoster: goneo.de). Installing the module was successfull, creating a "bookings-page" also; this page is also shown in the frontend. I also can edit Preferences (Optionen) of this "bookings-page".

But creating a booking with the button "Add" (Hinzufügen) failed without any comment. The backend just shows "Erfolgreich" for a short moment an than a blank site.

I tested it with FireFox and IE Browser, always the same problem.

Do you have an idea what can be the Problem and how I can fix it?

Thanks and greetings

Martin

I've got the same problem tested with WB 2.7(RC1) Bookings 1.10 and 1.11
blanc screen in the backend and no entry in the frontend....?

 

(ps.:sry for my english)

[WebBird]

Can you tell me if there was an entry added to the database? (See table mod_bookings_dates)

[Motteck]

I would say Yes: see hardcopy

[WebBird]

You tried more than once, did you? 

So, there seems to be an error with the edit page. I'll see if I can reproduce it.

Edit: Well, this (again) is a problem caused by mySQL 5.x. Can you please try the add_bookings.php attached and tell me if it works?

[mr-fan]

sry for stupid question....

where install -paste or copy the file? add_bookings.php

I just uploaded all changes as new version 1.12.

- using the "date picker" like the one used in the NEWS-module

There are some problems I see with this. If the admin has JavaScript deactivated, he can't use the date picker, but has to insert a valid date into the field by hand. There will have to be expensive control functions in the backend to make sure that the format is really valid.  I really don't like to rely on this.

[mr-fan]

hi,

i've download the linked file and installed, same problem!

here the testpage http://www.mragrar.de/pages/kalendertest/buchen-nach-mass.php

and don't know if it is important, but all month's after the month august...are ?

greet's

[WebBird]

I think you added an event in September, and as there's an error somewhere, the module breaks. I don't know what to do without admin access to WB and FTP access to the server.

Edit: Woops... I forgot to change the permalink to the new version. Please download again and make sure that you have the brand new version 1.13!

YES, it's v1.13 now!

New/changed:

* Added Calendar JavaScript Popup to choose date (_not_ time!)
* You can choose to show the name in each single entry (!)
* Tooltip (mouseover) appears in month view if
** day booked partly (time given) or
** day booked (no time given) and name to show

@ Webbird: this one is getting better and better. Keep up the good work!!!

Edit: I think I found a bug!
I just filled in a week (08-09-2008 from 10 AM / 15-09-2008 10 AM) and in dayview it shows the whole first- and last day as occupied. This should be only occupied  from 10.00 AM !
In dayview the name is still show although it is set to NOT show!
I am right?

Cheers,

MacSmet

Great! it works

another issue:
when I make a booking for example from 27th December (arriving at 15.00)  til 6th January (departing 10.00) the following dates shown as partly available: 31th December and 1ste January. But those two day are of course not available...

Question:
When I want to change the colours of the  "not avalible" dates  (red and the font white) which file need to be edited?

Hi,

I reinstalled the old version and installed the new Version, but it does not work ... 

The same Problem as before

[WebBird]

I will have a look at the failures later.

When I want to change the colours of the  "not avalible" dates  (red and the font white) which file need to be edited?

The frontend.css file.

Code:

.bookings_booked {
    background   : #ff0;
}

For red background and white font change this to:

Code:

.bookings_booked {
    background   : #f00;
    color: #fff;
}

Version 1.14 now includes some major code rewrite to (hopefully) fix this issues.

I reinstalled the old version and installed the new Version, but it does not work ... 

I really don't know how to help without direct access to the server.    I am using PHP 5.x, maybe it's around there. Does anyone else use PHP 4.x having problems with the Bookings module?

Edit: A friend with goneo account tested this for me now, without any problems. 

[mr-fan]

that might be the problem i use php 4.x .... can i change to 5.x with wb 2.7 without problems?

i think wb is working better with php 4?

Hi WebBird,

I tested 1.14 and have the same Problem ... 

Edit: A friend with goneo account tested this for me now, without any problems.  rolleyes

At goneo you can choose between PHP 4 an PHP 5. I did choose PHP 4 because a friend (who knows more about it than me) told me so. When bookings just works with PHP 5 I have to check if the rest of my Page works proper with PHP 5.

But I say thanks for your help !!!!

[WebBird]

Maybe I used a method that's only available with PHP5. I'll see if I can work this out.

Edit: I just asked my friend, he has PHP5 at goneo. Seems to work fine with WB 2.7.

Edit2: I just found that date_parse() is only available with PHP >= 5.1.3. I'll see how to fix this.

[WebBird]

Can you please try the attached functions.php? (Unpack to your modules/bookings folder.)

[vyni]

Hi WebBird,

the add-event page stay´s empty. Same difficulty.

regards Vyni

hi

I just found that date_parse() is only available with PHP >= 5.1.3. I'll see how to fix this.

i think remember: "go php5"

it works fine here, php 5.2.6, mysql 5.0.67, apache 2.2.9 on suse linux 10.2

only between two events are 30 minutes lost, end maybe 14.00 and next begin can only be
14.30

day begin can only 1 and end 23, in day view you see 01.00 > 23.30, lost 1,5 hour


sorry but english is not my language, but i hope you understand what i mean



greets

Yes, it's documented as "known bug" for later improvement.

day begin can only 1 and end 23, in day view you see 01.00 > 23.30, lost 1,5 hour

Hm, 0:30 und 23:30 should be possible. I will have a look at this.

Edit:
0:00 to 23:30 - works
0:30 to 23:00 - works
0:30 to 23:30 - works

To have the whole day booked, leave the times at 0:00!

Maybe a misunderstanding?
