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);

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.

Released beta

I decided to release the first beta version of what is ready by now. Still i suggest not using this on a productive site unless you know what you are doing and are able to fix possibly occuring errors yourself for a quick solution. Even better you are able to provide patches for bugfixing and enhancements which would lead to reach a first stable status earlier.

New improved dayview with timescale is ready

In the issuequeue of the Calendarmodule on drupal i found a patch provided by a programmer with the drupal name NickSI. It turns a normal Calendardayview into a view where events span multiple cells acording to the time. I saw this and applied it to the agreservations_preprocess_calendar_day function in the agrservations module. after a few hours of headache merging the different code, this is how it looks at the current state:

Alpha release delayed

I really wanted to release the first non dev release this month, but i will not make it in time, sorry. I think the alpha release will be ready in 1 or 2 weeks. The reason is simple: i do this in my free time and my time is limited due to my job and private life.Currently i am working on an improoved week and day view of the bookingcalendar, a more comfortable implementation of the ubercart order_pane "Unitreservation" and documentation.

encountered a small bug in Resource Conflict

I encountered a problem in Resource Conflict, which leads to unchecking the areservation contenttypes Resource Conflict checkboxeswhich enables this contenttype to be checked for time overlapings and conflicts by the Resource Conflict module. in short:  the bug leads to Resource Conflict not being used when saving agreservations. I directly changed my local installation of Resource Conflict and the version running on the demosite to solve this problem. but i hope there will be a new commit soon by the developer of Resource Conflict which solves this problem.
