Change resource color by date/time

[ylnahar]

Hi,

I was wondering how I would be able to change the color of a particular booked resource according to the date/time?

For example: If I had a resource booked from 11.00am  to 12.00pm on a Friday, I would like the system to be able to use the server time and then change the color of that resource to red (active) for the duration of the booking from 11 am to 12pm.

For the purpose we intend to use it for, this would be an invaluable modification as it will show us what is the current active resource. Any help here on this modification would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

If you want to do this on the bookings page, try the following:

In lib\Schedule.class.php, find get_reservation_colorstr() function

Add something like:
$currentMinutes = mktime('h') * 60 + mktime('i');
if (
($rs['start_date'] == $current_date &&  $rs['starttime'] >= $currentMinutes) &&
($rs['end_date'] == $current_date &&  $rs['endtime'] <= $currentMinutes)
{
return 'currentReservation';
}

Then add the .currentReservation definition to the css.css file.

Would it be possible to do this on the 'My Calendar' page for the day/week view?

Sure, the same general approach would work but for template\mycalendar.template.php

Nick,

I tried the code above but the color of the current reservation doesn't change. I added the definition of .currentReservation to the css.css file.

.currentReservation {
background-color: #FF0000;
border: solid 3px ;
}

There isn't any change in the color code on the 'Bookings' page. Is there something I am missing here, cause the code looks ok. Please let me know. Thank you.

Hmm, I'm not sure.  Can you try adding some debugging to the code we added in get_reservation_colorstr()

Something like

echo "Date: $currentDate Minutes: $currentMinutes";
