Booking Systems
This group is for anyone interested in booking systems. The main focus should be on whether it's feasible to come up with a booking system api for drupal that can then be extended for a myriad of different functionalities.
But, also to discuss any other booking type systems that exist for drupal, these may also offer the chance of integration into an api.
New online booking system for Drupal
Just wanted to anounce our online reservation system Planyo that also comes with a Drupal plugin. I'm in the process of integrating the plugin with Drupal itself but for now you can download the module on our website.
Granular day view calendar
Hi guys,
I'm new to drupal and not sure if this medium is a forum , module suggestion or both but I can use the help of some experts on booking systems in drupal.
I have searched the internet for a particular drupal module but I have not found a suitable one.
I need a module that would aid a particular booking/reservation assignment with the following characteristics.
- It can be modified so that the calendar day view will show each hour in quater, third or half hourly divisions rather than one single hour
Problem running MERCI as staff run solution
John brought this up at our internal PCM meeting yesterday. I'm surprised it hasn't come up before.
There is an issue running MERCI as a staff run solution. Even though a staff member in a role with the Administer MERCI permission can change the author of a Reservation to be the user making the reservation, the validation functions for availability based on role and time are written to check based on the logged in user... not the the author.
MERCI wasn't designed to be a staff service solution.
MRBS integration
I had to create a Drupal - MRBS integration for a client and I just published it on D.org: http://drupal.org/project/mrbs
This is very easy solution for those with booking needs in intranet environments. Using this for public web sites means you have to do separate theming for both Drupal and MRBS. It is not a substitute for real Drupal based booking engine, but it works and it's fully functional right now.
MERCI is in CVS
As anyone who's created a project that utilizes Drupal's CVS knows, the process takes some effort... but once the project is created, the benefits of the issues queue, tacking updates, reviewing patches, etc outweigh the effort of getting the project started.
MERCI can now be downloaded from http://drupal.org/project/merci
Structure of Reservation/Checkout
Our original plan was to include MNN's checkout in the Open Media Project. After evaluating their code and seeing where they were at with deploying it at MNN (still trying), we concluded that it was going to be too much work to update the code from 4.7 to 6, make the UI's easy enough for individual members to use (MNN is a staff run system), and convert dependencies on CiviCRM and a User Point budgeting based workflow into options.

Bookings API and implementation module proposal
I want to create a Drupal module for visitors to book rooms or entire buildings. It's intended for buildings that have publicly-accessible meeting rooms, study rooms, or banquet halls. The module would be built to allow managers to use it in tandem with Google Calendar for greater flexibility: sometimes bookings are made or changed in-person, and Google Calendar is better suited for quick and visual edits. This would just be a single possible implementation; I intend to also create a generic booking API along with this.

How must the e-Commerce module be enhanced to be suited as a booking system?
Hi all,
I think the e-Commerce module is a good basis for a booking system. I would suggest, that we discuss how the e-Commerce module could be enhanced so that it can be used as a booking system.
For the use cases I can think of, a booking system consists of two parts:
- Data modelling and presentation (themeing) of the object/service/thing that can be booked. This can be done with CCK.
- Support of the booking workflow (booking, invoicing, get in contact with customers). Would be good if this was supported by e-Commerce.
My thoughts for Booking Systems
Hi All
First of all, my apologies to anyone who wanted to attend my presentation in Barcelona. I'd had a migraine building up all week, and my head decided to explode on Friday! So I spent the day with the curtains shut in the hotel. I was hoping to get some of my thoughts into a more viewable form post-Barcelona but have had a few problems to deal with in Real Life(tm). So I thought I'd try and share some of my ideas here, whilst giving a bit of background of where I've been (in terms of booking systems).

Please use this wiki page to add your use-cases for booking systems
Hi All
EDIT: Will www.drupal.org/project/openresort not do already a lot from underneath functionality?
As the title suggests, please add your use cases to this page so that we can start formulating some ideas (it's a wiki page).
Oh, and feel free to add/edit anything already submitted to the page - I think we need to come up with as many scenarios as possible??
Here's some possibles:
Signing up to workshops
We have created a booking engine for drupal
We have created a booking engine for Drupal. Currently it only supports accommodations, but Activities and tours, ski rentals and lift tickets are planned.
It is called OpenResort.. for more info visit www.openresort.org
Due to drupal liscensing issues we have not be able to release our full version of the module we have developed. It is only available as a custom configured, hosted and managed solution. BUT, we have released a basic version of our module which you can downolad from drupal.org.
