Classroom booking System

[webman]

Hi dave.81.... That is a known bug, sorry... The only way round that is at the moment is to change the view type in the Settings page to 'One day at a time' instead of 'One room at a time'.

The Week Dates icon/link you mentioned is redundant, and the reporting function has not been created (yet). In an ideal world I would have removed the Reporting icon (or had time to create the reporting function); but I'm only human

[dave.81]

Well in that case it's all working wonderfully and much improved over our old system, well i think so whether the teachers agree we'll wait to see.

Heyho reporting is a bonus not a must and there are only so many hours in the day lol...

Thanks

Hi,

Ive got classroombookings running okish but im new to apache and php so without sounding stupid(hopefully) how do i give apache server permissions to the folders specified in the installation instructions?

[webman]

@jonnellan: Is the server Linux/Unix or Windows? If Linux it is just a matter of doing something like this:

$ cd /var/www/classroombookings/
$ chmod -R 775 webroot/images/roomphotos
$ chmod -R 775 webroot/images/schoollogo
$ chmod -R 775 webroot/images/bg
$ chmod -R 775 system/cache
$ chmod -R 775 temp

where /var/www/classroombookings is the directory you installed it to.

[jonnellan]

Its windows, sorry should have said.

[webman]

Ok. Generally with Windows it doesn't need any changes, but just browse to the directory mentioned at the page below and ensure they are writeable: InstallationWindows - classroombookings - Google Code - Installing CRBS on Windows with Apache

It sprung into life when I enabled the rewrite module of Apache server!

Looking good so far, seems to do everything we want it to do. Reporting section would be good, guess we'll have to wait a little while. Roll on V2.

Has anyone had any joy importing users into classroombookings?

Whenever I try and import a CSV file it tells me it is not an allowed file format? How has everyone else got their users on the system?

Wish I could help - but I'm not using it until the release of v2. It's great stuff but for it to be useful we want something that integrates with LDAP.

Roll on v2 too

@jonnellan: I think this happens because it mis-identifies the filetype of upload as a non-CSV file. If you're confident it's in the right format:

1. Open the file system/application/controllers/users.php in a plain-text editor.

2. Find line 300 - it should be:

$upload['allowed_types'] = 'csv';

3. Place a hash symbol before the dollar symbol to comment out that line, so it looks like this:

#$upload['allowed_types'] = 'csv';

4. Re-try uploading the CSV file.

Hope that helps.

Do we know of the time scale for completion of version 2 of the room booker?
I realy want to get this setup.

[webman]

I know it's annoying to people who want to implement the new version, but I really can't commit to giving any dates. I don't want to do a Microsoft and say "It will be out in May" only to be delayed and end up disappointing people.

All I can recommend is keep checking the website on Google Code (I'll post periodic updates on the front page) and the issue tracker to see what gets fixed and when.

[jonnellan]

I have commented out the above mentioned statement in the users file but i still cant import a csv file. I now get this message :


A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning

Message: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

Filename: libraries/Upload.php

Line Number: 510


Im looking into this one now.

[webman]

Ok, this might work then.

Undo the changes I mentioned above (just remove the hash symbol and re-save).

Open system/application/config/mimes.php and find the csv entry (line 13). Change it so it looks like this (just copy and paste this line to replace it):

'csv'	=> array('text/x-comma-separated-values', 'text/comma-separated-values', 'application/octet-stream', 'application/vnd.ms-excel', 'text/csv', 'application/csv', 'application/excel', 'application/vnd.msexcel'),

This should help CRBS recognise the file that you're uploading and accept it as CSV.

Im still getting the same error, ive attached a screenshot of the whole error that i get.
