Room Booking Database/Web based (.asp)

I think you'll find as it's not yet live that signing up at this moment in time won't do anything.

 

I'd wait for webman to give the green light.

Kiran: as webmans sits says when it's available it will be there. I'm sure as soon as he can RTM he will.

Looking good Webman. So whats your plans then? Are you hoping to keep it all on your own site and make money through subscriptions, or selling it as a full product to go on a local system, or is free to all your Edugeek friends

[Cowman]

That's a good point, I've had a nosey at it and it's looking really good, bit worried about an on-line version though as it's very 'internet connection' dependant.

Would be better on the local system.

[webman]

Free to all but I'll accept donations to pay for the hosting. Source code will be released once finished but support will be minimal. It's currently hosted in the US which exaplains the slow speed but I have plans to move it over here

 

Thanks for the response guys

webman, where can i get hold of the files to implement the room booking system on our server.

 

Cheers

I hope webman doesn't mind me saying but due to cost of hosting etc... he will no longer be providing a hosted solution but does intend to make the locally installable one available soon.

 

I'm holding out for it as I'm keen to get it installed here.

I've been so so busy lately, and it's taken longer than I thought. :oops: Almost done on a "working" version - a mini download website (+forum/wiki eventually) will appear shortly at classroombookings.com.

 

Thanks for being patient

[Mano]

cheers webman,

 

look forward to the download.

Just can't wait, like a student waiting for snow

[bossman]

I can't wait either webman, will keep all the teachers off your back while you get it done ok

[mullet_man]

Looks good, would hope to implement this for a classroom in a box.

im having a go at Ian Mullings booking system from devizes which looks quite good. I can get it working properly on my pc (where its hosted) but when I try and do it from a remote pc it firstly asks for a login then every step of the way it again goes back to login only to come up with an error when trying book. It looks like a permission thing but I cant see the wood for the trees at the moment.

 

Any Ideas peeps?

 

Cheers

depends on the error you are getting from it

 

although webwizguide is pretty good on helping with errors :

 

http://webwizguide.com/asp/faq/default.asp

 

Hopefully this helps a bit

[Mano]

cheers gecko,

 

ill have a look. I have moved it onto our server 2003 and now receiving could not contact database errors.

 

Cheers

I am beginning to think there more too this one.

 

I managed to get it working for about 10 mins then boom....DATABASE error...i left it for a bit then all of a sudden it works again..

 

I have had intermittent trouble with the Self Service Password Reset application as well, is it my 2003 server??

 

HELP!!!

[mac_shinobi]

Have you got the ASP code so I can see what the ASP code is like in terms of how it is trying to connect to the database and such like.

 

Not sure if it's the right way to do it but just to get it working when I use ASP I normally put the database in the same directory as the html files, if not then I use Server.MapPath function and do

 

Server.MapPath("\folder_name\database_name.mdb")

 

I then follow the permissions sectoin on that webwizguide to give permissions to the folder as well as the database file and check what type of connection string it uses ( which would depend on the version of office that the database was created in , unless it is an sql or other type of database then obviously the connection string will be totally different )

 

Any chance you can upload the whole thing onto here in a zip file so I can take a look at it later on and I will see what I can do. Hopefully the database isnt too big and doesnt have any sensitive info or anything like that.

[Mano]

Gecko,

 

Ill hang fire on this for a minute cus I think it may now be ok. I moved it onto our other DC and (for 2 hours anyway) it has been working bob on.

 

If it all goes pete tonge 2moz then ill send the code and db.

 

Cheers Gecko for agreeing to spend time having a look anyway, much appreciated.

Hi all,

 

I have now setup the IanMullings RoomBookings ok and its talking to active directory no problem.

 

I am struggling to suss out the access rights so that only a particular group can book and domain admins have admin rights.

 

I get one staff member who can book rooms and another one who can only get read only and as far as i can see they are both identical setup.

 

Other than that its tops and really good.

 

Cheers

 

Tony
