    Hi All,
    was testing and everything worked fine. suddenly if a user tries to book process seems ok but booking is never actually booked, he returns to the booking page with no bookings booked yet. Any solution?

    Hello,
    My institution really likes the Booking module. We are currently using Eva Thörnblad 2.0 (2016091600). We are seeing an error when using the "Export data table as" function. I would appreciate any help in solving the issue. The stack trace is below:

    Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: Output can not be buffered before instantiating table_dataformat_export_format

    More information about this error
    Debug info:
    Error code: codingerror
    Stack trace:

    line 1708 of /lib/tablelib.php: coding_exception thrown
    line 181 of /lib/tablelib.php: call to table_dataformat_export_format->__construct()
    line 165 of /lib/tablelib.php: call to flexible_table->export_class_instance()
    line 271 of /mod/booking/view.php: call to flexible_table->is_downloading()

    @Rob Johnson: Which moodle version do you use? How many booked users do you have? I can not reproduce this on my servers. Maybe this is a core moodle bug related to https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-51603 or the configuration of your server is not yet perfect.

    Hi David, plugin is fantastic until it stopped putting bookings. Unfortunately the moodle version we are using is Moodle 2.5+ (Build: 20130530) with PHP Version 5.3.5. The only details I can tell you is that i was using only three users to test it out. Worked fine, could book, have someone on standby and even replace. Mail notification of dropped booking was not working but that was trivial. Suddenly I changed (for testing purpose) the name of the booking title page and bookings were not being accepted, no error page, just after you try to book a slot, it asks if you want to confirm, you confirm and it then takes you to the booking page again. Now there should be one booking less but it shows the same bookings, thus, no bookings where accepted. Hope it makes sense the way am explaining.

    @Aaron Cauchi: I would recommend to upgrade to PHP 5.6 and Moodle 2.7 minimum. We do not support Moodle 2.5 since years, nor do we have a PHP 5.3 testing environment.

    Understand you perfectly. As already said, plugin is cool. Waiting till next week so backend team helps me out in upgrade to latest Moodle and PHP.

    Great work with the new update David Bogner. Thank you for adding an option to delete a booking. All seems to be working fine. Keep up the good work.

    @Anup Srivinas: This problem has nothing to do with the booking module. Please refer to the quiz module or report a general bug in Moodle. None of the lines in debug output is a booking module code.

    Hi David,

    Thanks for adding the Delete option.

    I dont understand the tagging issue you are talking about though. What i wanted to know is if there is a way to add more fields on the Booking report, except for the fields that are from the "Additional Fields" category? I am specifically interested in the user profile fields the under the "Optional" category. e.g. Skype ID, Yahoo ID etc.
    Or maybe there is a way to add these fields using Tags?

    Thanks,
    Lebato

    Thank you David for testing to see if you can reproduce the error I am seeing. I am using Moodle 3.1.1. I first installed Booking when the site was running 2.6. We then went to 2.8 and upgraded Booking then.

    The server is Apache 2.4, PHP 5.6 and MySQL 5.6. I have Opcache enabled. Output buffering is set to 4096. I see the same error on a fresh 3.1 site on the same server. Any insight would be appreciated.

    @Rob Johnson: If you look at the post from Anup Srinivas, there seems to be the same problem with the quiz module. Could you test the report page in the quiz module and look, if there is the same error displayed?

    Hi David,
    Quiz results download just fine for me. Also, individual booking options download fine. It is only when I try to download all booking options that it throws the error. Is there a difference in the code between a single booking option and downloading all?

    I turned off output buffering on a dev server and I do not get the error. However, the resulting file is shown in the browser instead of being prompted to download. I would like to keep output buffering on for performance reasons.
