booking system

[lholland421]

hi nick, is there anyway of having separate booking tiles one for room bookings and one for resources ? I guess they would have to be on separate booking systems ?

 

thanks

[nickbro]

Nope there isn't sorry. If you want to, and you know javascript, you can create one.

 

See ExampleCustomTile.js in the hap+ release, just include that on in the head of the homepage

Hi Nick , I am currently having an issue where users cannot book anything. they are told they have exceeded the max bookings per week. I have set this to 9999999 so I don't think they would have.

 

Any ideas ?

 

Thanks

[nickbro]

999999 might be a bit high, try -1

[lholland421]

hi nick still getting the issue with -1

 

 

Thanks!

[nickbro]

ok, looks like you have an issue somewhere, I'll need you to do some http://www.edugeek.net/forums/home-access-plus/86059-hap-json-debugging.html. Try 0 as well.

 

This is what I'm looking for

Hi is this what you mean @lholland421.

 

 

I have created three tiles and changed the icons in the hap config and set the hyperlinks to go to the following

 

Rooms - ~/bookingsystem/t-Room

Laptops - ~/bookingsystem/t-Laptops

iPads - ~/bookingsystem/t-Other

[lholland421]

@tj2419 That is what i need ! Thats awesome how do i do that?

@nickbro im just about to debug it now.

[tj2419]

1. Go to your Hap +Config

2. Select the Homepage Tab

3. Click Add Link and fill in like the images below. (For the show to put the groups you want to show it to. Mine just show admin as i haven't yet launched it with staff)

 

 

Then when adding rooms or resources to your room booking (Booking system tab) make sure you match up the Resource Type to IT Rooms = Room, Laptops = Laptops and iPads = Other.

 

Voila

Hi Nick ! i have an error!

 

thanks Nick

[nickbro]

Ok, from that it looks like it's not doing the initial query for number of bookings/week number, what's in the url box (after the #)?

[lholland421]

when i load the booking system nothing is after # in the url as i don't seem to have #.

[nickbro]

Ok, there is something wrong with your setup

 

In a browser go to

/hap/api/BookingSystem/Initial/17-9-2014/{username}

 

Obviously replace {username} with your username

[lholland421]

hi nick i get this displayed

 

[0,1]

[nickbro]

ok, what do you get when you put in a teacher's username?

[lholland421]

i get [0,1] when a teachers username and its loading all the time.

[nickbro]

ok, that's what it should be. 0 is the number of bookings and 1 is the week number.

 

Can you look at the source code for the page (browser source not notepad edit), look for something like this

 

      <br />
        user = { username: 'Nick', isAdminOf: [ 'ICT1', 'ICT2', 'E3', 'A6', 'Laptops', 'iPads', 'S6', 'LRC' ], isBSAdmin: true, minDate: new Date(2014, 8, 17), maxDate: new Date(2015, 6, 20), maxBookings: -1 };<br />
    

 

What you are looking for is the last thing, maxBookings, what does that say for the user? If it doesn't say -1, or the silly high number then something isn't getting set somewhere

[lholland421]

Hi Nick i have checked this on multiple users and they all have max bookings -1 in the source code. have i missed out some sort of permissions or something?

 

Thanks

[nickbro]

nope that's what's meant to be there if you've set -1 in the admin area, I can't quite figure out what's going on here

[lholland421]

Its a bit odd, Would it help if i gave you a login?

[nickbro]

not really, something is causing the function that checks the current bookings against max bookings to error. I cannot replicate that on any of my installs.

[lholland421]

Should I try reinstalling or replacing some core files ?

[nickbro]

You can try reinstalling the booking system from the latest plugin release. If you do give me a username and password I can at least see what in the javascript it is playing up I suppose. Can't promise when I'll look at it today as I've got some primary school visits to do

[lholland421]

Okay Nick will try replacing the booking system files from the latest one and seeing what happens ! Ill message you a username and password shortly ! Thanks Nick !
