Classroom booking System

[webman]

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).

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.

We currently use a system written by our "Head of eLearning" which is coming to an end (I don't know why). I've been trying out all the main ones: mrbs, crbs, erbs.

mrbs: hear a lot of positive things about it, but need documentation! I have it working (although can't get AD intergration to work yet, which I would like) but can't figure out how to set it up . I'm aware there are many threads and threads within threads for mrbs on here, but has anyone compiled any kind of central reserve of documentation?

erbs: I quite like the simplicity but how does the "Use LDAP Authentication" work? It doesn't have any details - server name, account details, AD structure, etc.

crbs: nice system, although it's a shame it doesn't have AD integration. I'm also getting various errors - error if you go past last week, error if you click the "Make Recurring Booking" button. Is v2 imminent? Should I hold off for this? Or is there still support for v1?

Edit: I tried bookit and potentially looks good, but the popup's (logging in etc.) are too annoying.

Edit2: Why oh why can't Liberum make a booking system!

Im using MRBS here, im having problems in locking down new rooms, ive got it hoocked up to our AD and all is fine, but it lets any user in the allowed OU's to log in and book, its got a function to find users in a group and load them as admins, i cant figure out how to modifiy it so i can lock a room down to just maths and admins, or just science and admins extra.
