  Hi David,
  My site is using version 2019052800 of the Booking module. Our mobile app users report they are still being prompted to open Bookings in a browser. Booking is not disabled in the site's mobile settings. Is there something more I need to do to get it working in the mobile app?

  Hello all (..and David),
  
  I have the latest module working on Moodle 3.4.9. So happy that it exists!
  
  However I can't get the email notifications to go out automatically.. I have to "send out a reminder email" to get it to go. Is there a setting for this that I am missing?

  @Jesse: You need the cronjob running in order to send reminders. Kind regards, david

  Thanks David.
  
  New question:
  Is there a "placeholder" for the "description" field in the booking option?
  
  I can use things like {startdate} and {location} but would like to be able to use {description} however I am not sure if this is possible.

  Hi Jesse,
  
  you already answered your question yourself. The implemented tags are in the language file (also in the help buttons in beneath the according settings in the booking plugin). I do not think {description} will work. You can try {text} (that would maybe render the description, but I am not sure. Best thing would be to test it and report back here, if it worked.
  
  Kind regards,
  David

  {text} did not work. It just displays {text} in the email.

  Hi David,
  
  Im strugglign with a couple of things, i cant get the e-mail placeholder to use {teacher} it always displays {teacher} and not who is assigned to the booking.
  I cant seem to get it to e-mail the teacher who is assigned to that booking either, i can get it sent to the booking manager but not the teacher who created it. Am i missing something?
  
  Regards,
  Adam

  Hi Adam,
  there is a bad translation. Actually you can assign users for managing a booking option within the booking option. So that booking option manager is called teacher, but also there is the course role teacher. So maybe you have to assign a booking option manager to the booking option to make the replacement work.
  Kind regards,
  David

  Hi,
  
  for our summer school we made a course room. The booking for
  the summer school we manage via a booking-activity in
  that course room. Pre-condition in order to be able to book
  for the summer school is the passing of a language test (Quiz-Activity)
  in the same course room. It is possible to configure the
  booking plugin, to only accept users for the summer school
  that have passed tha language-quiz in that course room.
  That works fine ...
  
  Our prob is that we want users having passed a quiz in a different
  course room. We can't copy that quiz. Is possible to make also
  this quiz from a dfferent course room mandatory for the
  booking ? Ideas ? Can we maybe link to that quiz.
  
  Thanks a lot !
  
  Best,
  
  Johann

  Our college loves the booking module. It has saved a lot of manual work.
  
  One thing we thought could be good to include in future versions is a way to customize the pdf paper based sign-in sheet. For our college, we would only need a few of the fields. We have worked around this by downloading the csv and removing the columns not needed but just thought to make the suggestion.

  Dear Ian,
  
  thank you for your improvement suggestions. Actually it is already possible to customise the fields to be included in the sign-in sheet. Just have a look at the booking instance settings under "Fields to display in different contexts"
  
  Kind regards,
  David

  Dear Johann,
  
  there are several ways to fix your problem. One would be to award a badge upon quiz completion to a user and use the availability condition in order to make the booking visible: https://moodle.org/plugins/availability_badge
  
  This would be one of several possibilities, hope that helps.
  
  Kind regards,
  David

  When trying to use activity completion for the booking. Instead of a confirm completion status button, I see an (un)confirm completion status button. When I click on this button it does nothing to the completion status but gives me a message "New numbers have been generated." Please let me know what I am doing wrong?
