  Hi
  
  Moodle does not send emails out because we turned it off, it annoys too many people.
  
  But, again this is the same on our 1.9 version of Moodle (sitting on the same physical box) and the MRBS version on that works.
  
  Surely setting the SMTP options in the configuration file over-rides the moodle settings?
  
  I have just tried and enabled emails from Moodle and MRBS is still doing the same, I've checked the SMTP settings from the 1.9 MRBS (non-plugin version, original Anthony Barrow version) and matched it to the new version but it doesn't work.

  Hi Davo,
  
  I'm trying the 2013012300 version on a Moodle 2.5 installation and seeing a bit of weirdness. If you log in first and try to book a room it works, but if you click on the link without login in first, it’ll ask you to log in then you get an error message “you are already logged in as %%username%, you need to logout before logging in as different user”.
  
  Can this be investigated?
  
  Majid.

  Majid - I've checked via a Moodle 2.5.1+ site and I can't reproduce that issue. When I visit [site]/blocks/mrbs/web/day.php I get the login page, then I get the MRBS page as expected.
  
  Maybe there is something strange happening with your particular site - can you try installing the block on a fresh Moodle 2.5 site and confirm that you can reproduce the issue?

  First I would like to congratulate you on the block. We use it at school.
  I would suggest some new features for next versions of the block.
  
  1. Administrators can create books where that breach the limits of configuration: max_rep_entrys
  , Max_advance_day.
  
  2. Different areas may have different hours or periods of booking.
  
  3. A daily limit per user. Limiting such period to 2 hours for a day.
  
  thanks

  Jorg - please add any feature requests to tracker.moodle.org
  
  Note that there are not currently any plans to work on a new release for this plugin - I work on maintenance / bug fixes when I can, but new features are only likely to be added if another developer writes them, or if an organisation sponsors the development.

  I can not import. Has someone an example
  
  I testet with coma separate:
  
  00:01,00:02,2014/01/23,1,ComputerNB_AEWS Zi19,,,Stundenplantest2
  00:02,00:03,2014/12/25,1,ComputerNB_AEWS Zi19,,,Stundenplantest3
  
  in the path I wrote xxxx\moodle\mrbsImport\ -> notihing works
  or with a file name xxx\moodle\mrbsImport\stundenplan02.csv
  
  What is wrong??

  The first thing that strikes me is that you have stated that the file was called:
  xxx\moodle\mrbsImport\stundenplan02.csv
  
  but in the settings you wrote:
  xxxx\moodle\mrbsImport\
  
  Have you tried putting the actual file in the settings (rather than just the name of the directory which contains the file?)
  
  Then, have you run a cron update? (/admin/cron.php)
  If so, was there any output relating to MRBS?

  Thank you very much for your fast answer.
  
  As I run the crone with this path
  xxx\moodle\mrbsImport\stundenplan02.csv
  
  than I receive the following crone message:
  Finished activity modules
  Starting blocks
  Processing cron function for mrbs....... started 14:58:36. Current memory use 86.6MB.
  done.
  Processing cron function for rss_client....... started 14:58:36. Current memory use 86.8MB
  
  Is the .csv with comma separated correct?
  Is the time and Date correct? I tried also with time 25/01/2014
  
  No entry in the mrbs
  
  As I understand you, the file name must not be written after the path.
  - xxxx/moodle/mrbsImport/
  This should be correct.
  
  I have custom periods
  (1.)07:45-08:30
  (2.)08:35-09:25
  (3.)09:30-10:15
  (4.)10:30-11:15
  
  The first should be 00:00,00:01,
  is comma OK? Or better semicolon
  
  Thank you very much for your fast help.

  Try directly running blocks/mrbs/import.php (this is the script that cron runs). Make sure debugging is on for the site.
  
  And just to be entirely clear about this - the very first line of code takes the full path+filename entered in the settings and checks to see if that file exists on your server. If the standard PHP function 'file_exists' does not locate the CSV file, based on the location specified in the settings, then no attempt is made to load the non-existent file.
  
  If you see no output from the cron / import.php file, then that means the file you specified either does not exist or could not be opened.

  It seams that the file could not be opened. I will try it later. Thank you very much for your help.
