Hi John, I don't actually work in the position anymore as I am off traveling and working in europe, but I would just like to thank you for updating the thread when you found the resolution (I received an email when the thread was updated ). I will pass the solution on to the fellow who replaced me however. If I remember correctly I just utilised a work around by putting before school at the end of the list. Cheers Rhys

I have MRBS up and running and have managed to get it to switch over to periods (is there a document anywhere that lists all the config.inc.php commands for it? I have mostly got them from threads here on edugeek) but am having an issue where it is producing two extra time blocks named Period 1 and Period 2 before the ones I enter manually. Any idea why that is? my config.inc.php is below. so it says Period 1 Period 2 Before School Period 1 Period 2 Recess Period 3 Period 4 Lunch Period 5 After School when it should say Before School Period 1 Period 2 Recess Period 3 Period 4 Lunch Period 5 After School // $Id: config.inc.php 1336 2010-04-21 09:53:39Z jberanek $ /************************************************************************** * MRBS Configuration File * Configure this file for your site. * You shouldn't have to modify anything outside this file * (except for the lang.* files, eg lang.en for English, if * you want to change text strings such as "Meeting Room * Booking System", "room" and "area"). **************************************************************************/ // The timezone your meeting rooms run in.

I get the following PHP error when I try to run MRBS index.php The description for Event ID ( 2 ) in Source ( PHP-5.2.13 ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: php[4260], PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_pconnect() in C:\Inetpub \wwwroot\MRBS\web\mysql.inc on line 432. EDIT: I have fixed this error, for anyone with this problem in the future the solution is http://docs.phplivesupport.com/viewarticle.php?uid=1&aid=73&pid=3

There are two main ways to do this. 1) A login script (I think this covers the topic fairly well) 2) Group Policy (windows Server 2003 and Windows XP machines will need an update for this to work)

I have just tried to install PHP and MRBS on a Windows 2003 server. I am using ISAPI PHP and IIS 6.0 After finding PHP 5.3.2 would not work at all I have installed 5.2.13 and when I run a test php webpage it comes up fine. However when I tried to load index.php for MRBS I get a 500 Internal Server Error and I am not sure where to go from here my config.inc.php the only real change is the time zone // $Id: config.inc.php 1336 2010-04-21 09:53:39Z jberanek $ /************************************************************************** * MRBS Configuration File * Configure this file for your site. * You shouldn't have to modify anything outside this file * (except for the lang.* files, eg lang.en for English, if * you want to change text strings such as "Meeting Room * Booking System", "room" and "area"). **************************************************************************/ // The timezone your meeting rooms run in.

Sorry, I do understand I can link MRBS to LDAP, but are you inferring that since sharepoint does the same the user will stay logged in somehow. I should note that teachers will be accessing this from non-domain computers as well as the desktop PC's we have on campus.

Hi, I work at a relatively small school here in Australia as the ICT Officer and after having to deal with the awful intranet that was in place when I started have begun work on replacing it with a Sharepoint Services site. While looking for a better alternative than the Room and Equipment booking template I stumbled upon edugeek and consequently MRBS. While I can get it running without an issue I certainly am not am expert with sharepoint or web design (most of my experience and training is with IT support and administering a Windows domain. so while I know enough VB for scripting and a little HTML you would consider me a novice in this area). To get on to my main point I was wondering if there is some way to integrate MRBS and Sharepoint Services so they use a single sign-on and the teachers do not have to continually enter their passwords. I would appreciate any advice I can get on this. Cheers Rhys
