 Après avoir installé MRBS, je souhaite modifier les horaires de
réservation pour qu'ils soient de 9h00 à 22h00
(les horaires par défaut sont de 7h00 à 18h30). Je souhaite également
les différencier pour

Subject: [MRBS-general] Exporting from MRBS to Google Calendar

 

Hi Folks.

 

Is there a way of exporting data from MRBS to a google calendar

 

Whilst we use MRBS for booking rooms etc, to help the school caretaker set
up Multihalls etc, The admin staff add the info manually to a Google
Calendar which he views on his phone.

 

I'm starting off light here because if it can be done, I could gradually add
more 'location' from MRBS into the Google Calendar

 

Many thanks

Not sure if this is a bug or whether no date coding check has been

Subject: [MRBS-general] Confirmation email to booker on approval

 

Hello,

We are using MRBS with SimpleSAML for authentication. When a user creates a booking, they correctly receive a confirmation email. However, when the booking is approved, they do not receive any notification.

I added the following to the config file, but it hasn’t resolved the issue:

$mail_settings['booker_on_approval'] = true;
$mail_settings['booker']              = true; 
$mail_settings['on_approval'] = true;
$mail_settings['use_from_for_all_mail'] = true;
$mail_settings['book_booker_on_approval'] = true;

Could this be related to the username being stored in the booking details instead of the user’s email address? If so, how can I configure MRBS to use the email address for sending approval notifications?

Thank you,

It would make sense to inlcude $mrbs_company name already in the config.inc.php sample 

file because everybody is going to want to change the name, and initially you already have 

to open this file up to enter database credentials, so when you see this setting you will 

be "oh cool, I can change the name!"

 

Currently you start using the program, get it running, then realize it says "Your company" 

at the top, and then you have start google search to figure how to go about changing the 

company name.

 

This suggestion would save new users a lot of time and hassle.

 

Thanks

 

Add this to bottom of sample config:

 

/* Add lines from systemdefaults.inc.php and areadefaults.inc.php below here

   to change the default configuration. Do _NOT_ modify systemdefaults.inc.php

   or areadefaults.inc.php.  */

Hi guys,
im running v1.11.4 and I´m looking for a way to set different week-days

I have one area configured with 8 rooms, bookable Mo-Fr.

Now I want to add room 9, but this room should only available from Tue-Fr.
Is there a way to realize that - in best case in the same area with the
