Re: MRBS Meeting Room Booking System
I don't have a demo but you can see the old version (not XOOPS related) herehttp://mrbs.sourceforge.net/mrbs/
Or the new (xoops) versionhttp://www.xoopsdemos.com.ar/modules/mrbs/
Re: MRBS Meeting Room Booking System
Hello,
Be careful with the stylesheet.
On the demo website, the mrbs.css.php is not applied under Firefox.
You need to remove the title attribute in style.inc
<link rel="stylesheet" href="mrbs.css.php" media="all" type="text/css">
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223410
I'll post my own version of xoops_mrbs 1.4b2 soon.
Re: MRBS Meeting Room Booking System
Here's my "xoopsed" version of MRBS 1.4b2.
Original project :http://sourceforge.net/projects/mrbs/
And here's the list of all modified files
You can search these terms in these files, to see which changes I made : xoops - blueteen
The username is available on the booking.
You can click on the username to access to the profile.
I use only 2 mini-calendars (instead of 3 by default).
See mincals.inc (line 255) to restore the 3rd calendar.
Under IE, it seems that this version of MRBS is too slow.
So you can change the value in config.inc.php (line 201).
$javascript_cursor = FALSE;
Works fine under FF3, IE7 and Google Chrome.
If set to 'TRUE', MRBS is buggy under CHROME, and really too slow under IE.
Be careful, with this version (1.4b2), the printable version is no longer available (I hope that this feature will be back soon).
You can install this archive as every module.
But you must change manually some value in config.inc.php (this file is well commented out).
Works fine under XOOPS 2.0.18.2 and 2.3.1
Re: MRBS Meeting Room Booking System
I ported the latest MRBS build to XOOPS because the one from bluetopia (with is still in use on our site) doesn't run proper on XOOPS 2.3
I made it public based on demand after heavy testing it with IE7, FF3 and XOOPS 2.0.x and 2.3.x
Blueteen your version uses more up to date PHP instructions and also adds a few 'personal' things and has some bugfixes (Firefox CSS and conflict with extcal module).
I don't clame ownership of this module but i believe that for the intrest of the community it is better that only one version is made availible to the public.
My time is limited but if you send me a PM we might work together to make one version with all the goodies inside?
My build presents the realname for the booker yours the nickname. Perhaps in a common version we can show them both?
Switching to the new version on our site is not yet possible because of many personal modifications like:
Different config settings for each area
Different config settings for users and admin
Highly modified entry form (much less options, easier to submit).
Timelimit for making bookings.
Some off these options might intrest other users?
PS: Blueteen
You forgot to modify a part in functions_mail.inc. The one that starts with if (MAIL_BOOKER)
Re: MRBS Meeting Room Booking System
Hi, I posted my version of mrbs as I use it.
I do not intend to cause trouble, just to share my own changes 
Every change is commented, and I let everyone the opportunity to recover interesting changes.
Of course, a unique merged version containing all our options, would be a plus for the community.
I use my own version of MRBS since blutopia disappeared from the net.
Until yesterday, I used the version 1.2.6.1
Thank you for pointing me out to functions_mail.inc for mrbs 1.4
As my time is limited too, I think I will wait for the final version of MRBS before reworking on the code.
I encourage people to download jobrazo's version.

Agree, also my idea.

Your input is positive and constructing.

I will rework this build with some of your modifications, but for major changes i will wait for a stable MRBS release.
Re: MRBS Meeting Room Booking System
Hello, i made some changes in functions_mail.inc
All works fine if MAIL_BOOKER is set to TRUE in config.inc.php
The archive was updated.
You'll see my changes for the MAIL_BOOKER section.
I added a new variable in config.inc.php
$db_users_mail = XOOPS_DB_PREFIX . "_users";
I use this to get member's email.
The new code is :
$sql = "SELECT email FROM $db_users_mail WHERE uid='";
$sql .= ($new_entry) ? $create_by : $mail_previous['createdby'];
....
Instead of original code
$sql = "SELECT email FROM $tbl_users WHERE name='";
$sql .= ($new_entry) ? $create_by : $mail_previous['createdby'];
...
I use UID instead uname.
I changed another thing : by default, the subject was always
Quote:
Entry added/changed for $mrbs_company MRBS
Because of this code
$subject = get_mail_vocab("mail_subject_entry");
if ($new_entry)
{
$body = get_mail_vocab("mail_body_new_entry") . "\n\n";
}
else
{
$body = get_mail_vocab("mail_body_changed_entry") . "\n\n";
}
I use now this code
if ($new_entry)
{
$subject = get_mail_vocab("mail_subject_entry_new");
$body = get_mail_vocab("mail_body_new_entry") . "\n\n";
}
else
{
$subject = get_mail_vocab("mail_subject_entry_modif");
$body = get_mail_vocab("mail_body_changed_entry") . "\n\n";
}
I added 2 new variables to the file "lang.en"
Quote:
$vocab["mail_subject_entry_new"] = "Entry added for $mrbs_company MRBS";
$vocab["mail_subject_entry_modif"] = "Entry changed for $mrbs_company MRBS";
The mail subject is now clear, an entry was : created OR added.
I think that i found a bug.
When changing a room for a booking, the mail contained something like this
Quote:
Room : 2 (Room1) - Subroom2 (Subroom1)
We see the new room's id instead the room's name.
I changed a line in the file : edit_entry_handler.php (line 455)
$area_name = $row['area_name'];
Instead of
$area_name = $row['area_id'];
And now, I can see this in the mail :
Quote:
Room : Room2 (Room1) - Subroom2 (Subroom1)
We should maybe open a dedicated topic in the forum ?
Re: MRBS Meeting Room Booking System
Hi Blueteen
Someone has been bussy 
Quote:
I use this to get member's email
I replaced almost everything with this
{
// xoops
$poster = new XoopsUser($create_by);
$recipients.=',';
$recipients .= $poster->email();
}
// In case $recipients is empty, no need to go further
Quote:
2 new variables to the file lang.en
I will add them to the other language files.
Quote:

Yep probably better. I leave that to you.
I might not be around for a couple of days (exam period).
Re: MRBS Meeting Room Booking System
MRBS 1.4 is finalhttp://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=893930
Re: MRBS Meeting Room Booking System
Yes, I see for your code, i personnaly prefer change less code as possible.
Can I suggest something to your code ?
I see this code on multiple file in your archive.
include "trailer.inc";
include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/footer.php');
There's an easy way to do this :
add this line directly in trailer.inc
echo "</div>n"; // end of links div
echo "</div>n"; // end of viewmonth
echo "</div>n"; // end of "classic" trailer
}
include("../../footer.php");//xoops
exit;//xoops
?>
</body>
</html>
Only one file to modify
Good luck for exam !

Million thanks for updating this module, this is a most heavy used module in our company.
After I upgrade to the latest version (1.4), there is a warning message appear on top of the block: [Warning: Server failed to set locale to "en_GB" (Unix)].
So far I did not notice any problem on using the module.

Hello,
In config.inc.php (near line 475), try to define a value for override_locale
// Set this to a valid locale (for the OS you run the MRBS server on)
// if you want to override the automatic locale determination MRBS
// performs
$override_locale = "en";

Thanks

Hello,

Re: MRBS Meeting Room Booking System
hey, your admin looks cool !
can i send you the 1.4.1 version when i'll finish it?
Re: MRBS Meeting Room Booking System
It would be nice if this module would not show WHO has booked a room to the users, only that the room was not available on the dates they requested. It would also be nice if they did not have to specify times for the room.
If this was an admin option then the module could be used as a true reservations system for hotel rooms, not only meeting rooms
Re: MRBS Meeting Room Booking System
ok, it not so hard to hide this info.
I added an option for 'Showbooker'.
Quote:
Display username, realname, both and NONE
For your second question, the use of periods may help you.
Re: MRBS Meeting Room Booking System
Quote:

Yes please.
The adminpart is very basic and very easy to implement.
You can download that part here, you can easely use is for building adminsections for other modules (only tested with 2.3.2)
Re: MRBS Meeting Room Booking System
Actually, no periods would be preferrable. the guest only specifies the days they want, no periods, no hours.
where can i download the version with this change and the 'showbooker' option?
just to clarify... if a guest tries to make a reservation and the room is not available, what happens?
can they be told what rooms are available before they reserve?
Re: MRBS Meeting Room Booking System
Thank you jobrazo, i'll look your archive !
chefry, did you try the orignal mrbs project ?
We (jobrazo and I), only try to adapt the original project to xoops.
I never use "periods" functionnality, but after a small test, I can create something like this.
And if a guest clicks on a reserved room (green cell here), he will see an alert message.
The XOOPS version is not yet available.
I added 2 functions in admin this morning : theme and entry types
Re: MRBS Meeting Room Booking System
If the original is not XOOPS then it won't work for me
Re: MRBS Meeting Room Booking System
Dear
Please help me !
I used mrbs some time , but now there was a problem !!!

Are there ways to restricted users can not create or modify or delete bookings in the previous time
(In addition to admin)
Can tell me how I do !?
Thank you very much !!!!!!!

Re: MRBS Meeting Room Booking System
1.4.1 does not support this option. 1.4.3 also does not have this option. It is present in the mrbs trunk.
So a next release might have it.
An update of the xoopsversion is planned somewhere in august. I hope
