Auto Displaying Bookings

[Squelch]

Hi everyone,

 

I would like to show information from the booking system on our digital signage but I am unsure how to proceed. I would like to pass the url of the booking system straight to our staffroom display screen but of course this would just sit at the login page instead of showing the bookings. Is there a simple way to achieve this?

 

Thanks in advance.

The url is /hap/bookingsystem/%resource%/display

 

You can also do 2 rooms with /hap/bookingsystem/%resource%_%resource%/display, if you edit the ~/bookingsystem/display.aspx file.

 

The %resource% is case sensitive

Thanks Nick, that works.

Ah, it *was* working...

 

When I try to view "IT Suite 2" I get this:

 

Server Error in '/HAP' Application.

If I try to view other resources in the booking system, i.e. "IT Suite 3" or "Minibus1" it displays correctly, it's just it suite 2 that errors.

[Squelch]

Nevermind, I found the answer myself. I had made static bookings for a user and needed to add the user in the AD part of the setup. The error seems to be the booking system saying it cannot find the specified user.

[nickbro]

Yep, error is AD related.

 

You can use the Notes field in AD to say Mr N Brown instead of Nick Brown if you want
