Unable to share bookings

[Paul-K]

@nickbro

 

I have enabled shared booking for two resource types, laptops and equipment, but in laptops I am unable to change the quantity I require as the number of laptops is already set and am unable to change this, In the equipment I am able to change the quantity but when another user logs in to book the other half of the whatever equipment is listed they are unable too. In the hapconfig.xml file all resources have canshare="true", I presumed this was all I needed to do, have I set something incorrectly?

 

Thanks in advance.

Quantity selector is not available on a Laptop Resource type at present. All the rest should work fine

[Paul-K]

I have just gone into the booking.xml file and changed the count manually on a booking and it works but when selecting a quantity thought the front end it doesn't appear to be setting the count

[nickbro]

Which version of HAP+ are you using, this was fixed in 9.4

[Paul-K]

I am using version 9.4.0727, I updated everything except the web.config as that stopped my install from working, I used the web.config from 9.2

Ok, you will need to do some http://www.edugeek.net/forums/home-access-plus/86059-hap-json-debugging.html to find if it's sending the quantity to the server in the post request

Hi Nick,

 

It doesn't appear to be sending the count in the post request as shown below:

 

[nickbro]

That's not the request, that's the response, I need to know what's getting sent not want comes back

[Paul-K]

Sorry Nick,

 

Hopefully this is what your after this time

 

[nickbro]

Yep that's it, nope it's not sending the quantity. Can you post your resources section of your hapConfig.xml file please?

[Paul-K]

[nickbro]

Odd, it should be working based on that code

[Paul-K]

Is there anything else I could have setup wrong that would explain this not working correctly

[nickbro]

It might not be you, hmmm, can you edit ~/bookingsystem/default.aspx in notepad, go to line 361, and change "else if" to "if".

 

That will enable the count on all resources so be very careful, I need to put some code in there to not do what I don't want it to do.

[Paul-K]

Just upgraded to 9.5 which has resolved the issue, thanks @nickbro

[Paul-K]

Hi Nick,

 

Sorry to be a pain but I'm just checking to be sure, in 9.5 should all resources have the count on them even laptops, as when I book the laptops it still shows 16 available. Is this what you were talking about in your earlier post

[nickbro]

Yes, will have to try another way.

 

Line 361, change to

if (curres.Type != "Loan" && curres.Type != "Laptops" && curres.Quantities.length > 0 && curres.CanShare && parseInt($("#bfquantspin").val()) < parseInt(curres.Quantities[curres.Quantities.length - 1])) {

 

Laptops will use a set amount, i.e. the number in a single trolley.

 

The select as many as you need isn't supported with Laptops.

@nickbro

 

The code above fixes the issue with laptops, the quantity no longer appears once booked but now whenever I book 8 iPads for example, I am no longer able to book the other 8 for another class, they appear to be bookable but when you click to book them the side bar appears, all the relevant information is filled in but when you click book, it doesn't book them and still shows 8 available.

[nickbro]

ok, I will have to look into this

[Paul-K]

@nickbro

 

Just to update on this, I have tested with users in my staff OU and they can book the additional shared equipment if a user has only booked some of the resources but users in my Domain Admin OU can't, it seems to be only admin users who have this issue booking equipment that is shared.

@nickbro

 

Any update on this one or should I disable shared bookings at the moment until there is a fix available

[nickbro]

@Paul-K: Hopefully fixed in v9.6, done some work on the booking system tonight
