Status on AGreservations 7.x-1

After i was almost ready with the month view for the upcomming Release of a usable

version of AGreservations for Drupal 7, The Calendar Module 7.x-2 has been rewritten by KarenS.

She did a good job on that, the new Calendar Modules 7.x-3 Code looks much cleaner.

Also the new Module has by far less lines of code. But of course my preprocessor and theme overridings

to show a booking calendar with agreservations did not work anymore. Since the beginning of the year i have

monthview of bookingcalendar, preview

here is a screenshot of the new month calendar. its working already. will commit this

the following weekend to the 7.x-1.x-dev release. however thats really just a dev release,

alot of work still needed.

Delays...

The last days i kept trying to get the calendar module to work, but without success so far, there are still alot of issues to be solved untili can work with the calendar in drupal 7. So there will be delays in the work on the drupal 7 version of agreservations...stay tuned.

Status and Planning: cleaning up agreservations 6.4,- working on agreservations 7.1, - creating a packed version / Distribution

I am currently  finishing the work on agreservations 6.4 there will be a code freeze in march for the 6.x line of themodule. After that i will only work on 7.1. The good news is, the 6.4 version is becomming more and more stable,by march i will have a release candidate of agreservations 6.4.  Here is what is possible with the software:

Installationprofile!

I am working on a drupal distribution named sirbookalot  making the setup of agreservations alot easier. A first version can be downloaded here. The executiontime can be more than 3 minutes sometimes during the installation process. So you probably need to adjust the line where it is set in the php.ini.  max_execution_time = 400 for example should be enough. Or you can try settingini_set('max_execution_time', 0); or ini_set('max_execution_time', 400);

Status

Everything is going forward slower than i thought. But its going forward. Let me think about whats on the roadmap for the rest of this year:

Making Agreservations truly flexible and usable for multiple use cases.

 This will be done by implementing a new submodule called agres_categories. It will implement a new Contenttype category. A Category can be anything (room, house, boat, car, movie, table) An important field in this new contenttype will be: bookingmode: which can be: by hour, or by day.

Partial payment ready i think, testing needed.

I just finished programming the partial payment feature. It works with paymentmethod 'credit' only. When an order is submitted only a percentage amount of the order total is charged. and the order remains in status pending. The guest pays the rest when he arrives at the hotel when checking in. This is implemented currently only in the dev version not in the current beta.

some info regarding the project

I suggest using the dev version of agreservations, because the beta(yes it was released too early,i am sorry for that) version contains a problem which can occur when the db_sql_rewrite function is called. This error is fixed in the current dev version. A new beta will be released when i come back from the Wacken Open Air festival. I know i am behind my own set schedule but the good news is: its only a few weeks that i am behind shedule and i will have more time for this project from september(double the time!! :-)) + there will be more man (woman) power working on this.

New cart and checkout panes implemented

After watching the recent soccer matches(yeeeeehaaaaaw !!!!) I finally had the time to make another commit to the dev version of agreservations. I implemented a few new cart and checkout panes. Before these changes go into the next betaversion there needs to be done more testing.
