Classroom booking System

[Aaron]

Hi Webman

In the new version (v2) will this just update version 1 without deleting all the work thats been created or will it be a completly new install and have to setup rooms and timetable again?

[reggiep]

It wouldn't bother me that much if it needed everything inputting again as it's such a good system that it would be worth the work at my end.

It will unfortunately be a complete new install. So much has changed with the framework and with the new features, it will be a bit awkward to either a) just upgrade v1 or b) have an export/import routine.

A late reply to this topic I know, but for those of you who use Fronter as a VLE system, it has a great built-in booking system, which can be used for Rooms, Laptops / AV kit. School mini buses etc etc the options are endless.

But does Fronter handle a 2 week timetable easily? I think the answer is no.

Hi @webman

We're looking into using clasroombookings, but before I go too far down the road with the current version, I thought I'd better find out if you have an eta for the new version. Any news?

Thanks

We have used this for a few years and its been great. However, I would like to be able to record what the room has been booked for, so that I can track usage against departments. Does anyone know a) if its possible to edit the code/database which runs the booking system to include new fields or b) if an alternative free booking system is available with this functionality built in?

Cheers

compbh: CRBS v1 does have a "notes" field for each booking. Version 2 will still have this, but also record which department the booking is for based on the user's department membership.

Can I be cheeky and ask when V2 will be available? (I've have asked the same question on the classroombookings site). I had issues getting V1 to work and I was about to have another go but didn't want to spend time on it if V2 is arround the corner.

Cheers.

Hi Stuart_C. I'm hoping for a summer release of v2, so please try v1 again if you want something in the interim. It needs PHP version 4 - 5.2 (won't work on 5.3).

[Stuart_C]

Thanks for the info. I know it's a bit cheeky to pester someone for something they are doing in their free time for the good of others for free.

In the mean time you might want to check out bookit. We use it everyday here.
