Just ran up this demo for a mate but thought I would share.

The requirements were for an Admin to create hourly booking blocks every hour of the day unless blocked out by
Exceptions.

When Attendees log in they can go to the Booking Slots page and they will be automatically assigned to that slot when they click it.
If they click it again then they will get removed.

Maximum of 6 Attendees per slot and as the slot fills up it should change colour...slowly becoming more Red until it is full.
(need to check Max 6 yet but ran out of time)

Anyway..... Here is how it turned out

Instructions:

It will automatically create the data.

Now log in as Admin and under Admin Maintenance, Create a Block Plan for say 1st October 2014 to 31st October 2014.

Now log out and log in as an Attendee.

Here are the links for each Attendee to log in...

Nice, thanks for sharing.

Nice work, Mark.

I created something similar for scheduling of various resources in our school. Legend:
-- Green area -- available for scheduling
-- Red area -- resource booked during this time slot.

One Day View of 10 different resources available for scheduling:

Two week view for one resource:

Unfortunately I am not able to share this BSV as it has quite a bit of other proprietary coding.

Hey Tom,

Thanx for that.

That has given me some good ideas.

I guess that is using a Schedule control rather than a Calendar which seems to give you more flexibility in terms of cell content and Header labels?
Is that correct.

Would be nice for us to compile a library of these types of examples.

It is actually just a VP with a lot of very carefully sized forms and queries. Lots of auto refresh processes in the forms and queries.

Heehee....

Yes Tom.

After my last post I did a bit of testing and realised that it is NOT "just" a control.

Lots of work there and very nice and very clever . Well done.

Would love to see a small demo of some of the techniques you have used here if you ever have a hankering to do one.

hpl123

Yeah, nice one Tom. Gave me some ideas as well 🙂.

I am working on a resource schedule module and will use something similar to what you´ve done Mark (for starters, Tom´s solution looks more complex which is good but requires more work) and was wondering if any of you have implemented schedule templates in your scheduling module?

The idea is to let the user create a template with custom blocks blocked out over a period e.g. a week and this template would then be saved so the user can later apply it for a period in the live booking schedule (i.e. the blocks from the template is then created on the live schedule for the set period)?. Tips or thoughts?

Thanks Mark, studying your example also solved a problem for me.

One question remains, although you do an ORDER BY first name, lastname in the FIND action, the text in the booking block is not sorted in that way.

Is there a way to have AwareIM execute the AddToString actions in a defined sequence?

Hi Mark,

Can you share this bsv, as the link you shared isn't working anymore.

Thanks

Will see if I can dig it out Rick.

Give me a day or so.
