A few ideas (some may be hiding already)

[Philip Roy]

Hi all,

Not sure if these are feature requests or me not just familiar with the system.

24 hour service but only 12 hour display as default
-----------------------------------------------------
We’re going to use the scheduler for a virtual online classroom system. By default most meetings will occur between 8 am and 8 pm, but there are also meetings (because we are dealing with people around the world) where bookings will occur outside that time.

Is there a way to have a default display that shows 8 am until 8pm....but some sort of link that users could click (“more hours”) if they need to book at other times?

The name of the person/class showing on the scheduled blocks
------------------------------------------------------------
Is it possible to show this to unregistered (public users)...even just the name of the person who made the booking?

Notification of user registration
----------------------------------
I’d like to know when a user (staff member) registers to use the system, but I don’t want to receive emails every time they then book something. It appears you can only have both or none?

Today’s bookings
----------------
Is there a link I could bookmark that brings up the calendar for the current day? So that I can just use that to see how things stand *that day*?

Cheers,

Phil

1 is handled in version 1.2 by timezones.  If it is 8:00 CST and you are in EST, it displays as 9:00

2 is handed by turning on showing summary details on read only schedule in your config.php

3 is being done currently.  Emails are sent to the admin email defined in config.php

4 is not being done right now, but would be pretty easy to do.  You just need to link to the schedule like this:

Code:

schedule.php?date=5-9-2006

.  The date can be generated on the fly by the server using

Code:

date('m-d-Y')

So <a href="schedule.php?date=<?php echo date('m-d-Y'); ?>">Today</a>

Hi and thanks...but I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing.

1. Not timezones. I'm wanting to limit the amount of the schedule that gets shown by default to 12 hours, even though people can book in a 24 hour period. This is cosmetic....so our screen isn't cluttered and displays the mostly likely times that people want to see. See...
http://elearning.massey.ac.nz/bookings/example.jpg
..for an indication of what I mean. It shows the most common time period we'll be making bookings, but allows staff to access other times if needed.

2. Thanks, but I can only get it to who info if I click on it as an unregistered user...is it possible for a name to appear in the box?

3. The setting seems to imply you get emails for every reservation also...I'm only wanting when people register? Sorry, I need to test this also obviously.

4. I'm not sure I can bookmark a php query like that in Firefox and the like?

Cheers,

Phil

1. Ah, I understand.  This isn't included, but if you have some PHP skills you can add this pretty easily.
2. Change your config.php to $conf['app']['readOnlyDetails'] = 1;
3. Yes, this would be for both.  You can change this in the code easily, though.
4. You can bookmark a query string, but you can't create it dynamically.  You'll have to provide a link somewhere in the app that generates this link for the given day.

Thanks, but unfortunately I don't have PHP skills other than the ability to change a setting or delete a line or to. Don't think I'll be able to put in a business case to IT to get the changes, even point 3...the easy change.

So please consider these feature requests...
* Ability to define the default visable area of the calendar differently to the time period for the who schedule
* Split settings for notification of registration and notification of reservations

That 2nd one has been on my list for a while, and its very easy to do, but I just keep forgetting about it.  This may still make it into 1.2

Hi Nick

On 1.2ver $conf['app']['readOnlyDetails'] = 1 will not show box with details(name and summery). Box is shown only if user is loged in?!

That feature was working on 1.1.3!?

What could be the problem?

Sounds like a bug, I'll have a look at that guy.
