Booking System Issues

[mattianuk]

Hi

 

I am trying to get the booking system up and working using the latest V8 release.

 

When staff are going to the booking system - it is saying:

You are current outside of the set terms, please get an Admin to set the new year terms

 

Yet the dates have all been set correctly?

 

A similar issue:

 

On entering my password into the setup page for the domain admin, the green tick appears and I can browse AD for groups, but on saving unless I put the password in it wont let me browse.

 

its like it is not accepting some entries to the database?!

Can you paste the contents of ~/app_Data/termdates.xml

 

The admin password is cleared on a save for security reasons.

Thanks Nick

O, change the dates to 2013 for the last term, that's the issue

 

Plus you have a half term in 2010

Saw that, changed it, still didnt work - so did a complete reinstall again, and now working ta.

 

Still odd that I can only use the AD search when I have put a password into the AD setup password bit - it doesnt seem to use the stored one? When I click save, I cant use it again. More of an annoyance then anything else.

Also I have a further error

 

When any user, including a domain admin views the room booking page - I get several red errors all saying:

 

An item with the same key has already been added.

This error has been logged on the server's event log

 

More info:

Ive been through the XML files looking for duplicate entries, but cannot find any - any ideas where/what to look for? Getting so close to getting this live tonight

 

EDIT - Fixed it, duplicate static booking. Just needed to look harder. D'oh

The key is made up of Resource Name, Lesson Name and Day. Each trio needs to be unique. There has to be a duplicate somewhere in your file. Ok didnt' see you'd sorted it.

 

For security reasons I didn't want it to use the stored password. It's just and added bit of security I felt was needed.
