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.

Step by step instructions

jcampo's picture

I have some problems understanding the instructions for the installation of this module (I am not a programmer)

The instructions say:

Configure MRBS to use same database as Drupal and make sure it works with default auth and session handling

I do not know how to do this. Perhaps some extra instructions can help me.

Also, in reference to changing config.inc.php:

- Change config.inc.php:
- $auth["session"] = "drupal";
- $auth["type"] = "drupal";

I can ADD the two lines but I do not see a single "$auth" line in the config.inc.php.

Any help would be appreciated.

MRBS installation

vesapalmu's picture

I will update the README.txt with better instructions. Start by following instructions in INSTALL file that comes with MRBS and forget about Drupal. When everything works you need to make two changes to your MRBS config.inc.php file (starting from line 252):

/***********************************************
* Authentication settings - read AUTHENTICATION
***********************************************/

$auth["session"] = "php"; // How to get and keep the user ID. One of
// "http" "php" "cookie" "ip" "host" "nt" "omni"
// "remote_user"

$auth["type"] = "config"; // How to validate the user/password. One of "none"
// "config" "db" "db_ext" "pop3" "imap" "ldap" "nis"
// "nw" "ext".

Here you should change "php" and "config" both to "drupal". And that's it, you should have a working integration.

MRBS installation

Hi, can you send the complete procedure please? I have my directory apache\www\Intranet (my site name is Intranet and not drupal) where I place the mrbs directory. I extract the mrbs module into my modules directory. After, I have activate the module in drupal. I change "php" and "config" to "Intranet" in MRBS config.inc.php file. But I don't know after this... I don't see anything in drupal to use the mrbs module.. Thank you for your help

Use drupal, not directory name

You have to use drupal in config.inc.php file. The reference in that file is to include files that you have copied to your mrbs directory.

MRBS integration is mostly for developers at the moment. Documenting install process for all different variations would be too much, but I'll try my best to make proper documentation on recommended default installation.

Please post your support requests to issue queue for speedier reply: http://drupal.org/project/issues/mrbs

Hi Wesku,

I have downloaded the MRBS module, installed it and also gave the permissions to the administrator. I then checked the config.inc.php file where i found the above mentioned two parameter missing. I followed the same instructions as mentioned in the post above by you dated Fri, 2009-03-06 00:07. After doing so MRBS still not shows up on the website. Please let me know if there is anything i'm missing.

Regards

Anand
