Making Agreservations truly flexible and usable for multiple use cases.
Submitted by Andreas on Sun, 09/05/2010 - 15:31
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. A Unit Type can have multiple categories referenced(but in most cases only 1 makes sense.) .The hierarchy of the different agreservation contenttypes will be: Category <-m:n-> Unit Type <-1:n-> Unit. Another good news: i finally have the time not only to code, but to document aswell, in other words, there will be a wiki and a faq online in a few days. :-)
How to create a category type?
Hi Andrea,thank you and my best compliments for your module, which looks very promising and what many people like myself just need.I have just downloaded it, enabled it in my dev Drupal 6 website, read the docs and watched the videos but I cannot configure it. In fact one of the first step is to create a category type but this type of content doesn't appear in my content type list (I have agres_rate, reservation, timeframe, product, unit, unit info per reservation, unit type). The (sub)module agres_categories is enabled and so are all the modules that it requires.Do you have any suggestion?Thanks a lot,Luca
Hi Andreas,I disabled and
Hi Andreas,I disabled and enabled again agres_categories and the content type Unit Type Category appeared in the list of content types.
Agreservations time resolution
Hello Andreas. Great module!I'm just starting to play around with Agreservations to see if it's possible to use on my project. It's not being used for it's intended purpose of hotel bookings instead very brief 10 minute meetings.I saw your post stating that you intend to make the module more generic through the agres_categories submodule.I am working on breaking down the system to make 10 minute blocks availible and I am curious to know when you think your update will be availible.Also would it be possible to have you add a 'by minute or ten minute' option in the booking mode? Thanks and best regardsBlair
fixed time options
It will be possible to display only the from date and time in the online searchwidget block when the user is looking for a resource online. Each category will have its own search formular in a block. And each of these forms behaves according to the settings the admin made in the belonging category-node. One of the settings will be something like fixed duration or default duration. When will it be ready? I hope it will be ready for testing by the end of september.
