[Mrbs-general] MRBS-xp and Additions

[Gunnar D. <di...@AE...>]

Hello all,

first of all I wish to express my thanks to the develpoment team for doing
such nice work!!

I am working in a company with about 300 people and we have started using
the system in the end of last week to book two rooms (so far). Hopefully
this will change soon when the other departments see the quality of the
work.

We discovered the tool at the release level 0.9-pre2 and I have been
monitoring the development since. After we made some modifications to
include some requests of my colleagues we are now using the new xp-branch.

The modifications I did were mainly an E-Mail notification when a room was
booked or especially changed or deleted as we have problems with having room
bookings changed whenever some "more important" person needed a room and
sometimes this happened without informing the original booker!
To include this functionality we of course needed the E-Mail address of the
bookers. Therefore I have added an authorisation module (auth_mysql) based
on mysql and another table mysql_user to store the user names, their
encrypted passwords, the full name, and the e-mail address. As everybody in
our company shall be able to book a room without much trouble, I have
included a simple user interface so that everybody is able to create new
users and modify their own user data. Modifications of any user or deleting
users is only possible for admins.

Also I have updated and completed the lang.de file. I will mail all these
changes if you are interested, I only did not have time so far.

One other request I have had form a colleague was to be able to switch to
the week and month view from the minicals on the top of the page. Is there
anything planed in this way? Otherwise I will add this myself and provide
the changes if you wish.

Have a nice day
Gunnar
