    Hi Jurgita,

    thank you for your question. In fact this is a known bug and has been fixed with this issue: https://github.com/dasistwas/moodle-mod_booking/commit/ed9d62d858575dcc81c74baeb7898f0ba208e6b0 I will release the new version with the fix this week here in the plugin database.

    Hi David,
    thank you for help. It seems to be working, just there is still problem with the title of booking - it is still not good.

    Hi David,

    I have a list of booking options for my students where they can pick only one, so I setup to 1 on the section "Max current bookings per user". The help button claims this "The maximum of number of bookings an individual user can make in this activity at once. After an event end time has passed, it is not longer counted against this limit."

    After the end time of the booking option has passed, the student can't book because they booked in another one previously.

    Thank you for this great plugin, and I appreciate the time to check this issue.

    All the best!

    Hi David, One of my schools is using the connected booking option to copy students from a Wednesday booking to a Tuesday booking for tutorial sessions. These tutorials happen on a weekly basis. When users are transferred, they go to the previous week's booking instead. I have looked at the database, and the connected booking ID's are correct. Is there any other place I should look to try to figure out why the mapping is not correct?

    Hi David, Another issue we are seeing with Connected Bookings is if there are allready users booked into sessions when the connected booking is set, the option to copy users does not appear for teachers. Should I report this as a bug or was this intended?

    Hello All,

    I have recently updated to moodle 3.5.3 and upgraded all my plugins as well. When I try to update the booking plugin I get the following error:

    mod_booking
    Error writing to database

    More information about this error

    When clicking on more information, I see that increasing the max_allowed_packets can sometimes work. I have increased out max_allowed_packets for 1.3 gigs and nothing changed. I have also converted our InnoDB to Barracuda as the dmlwriteexception instructions say might help and still the same error message pops up when trying to update the plug in. What do I do next? We utilize this plugin daily and would be heartbroken if we lost it

    Hi,
    this plugin unfortunately is not compatible with Moodle 3.6 yet as "moodle/lib/eventslib.php" has been deprecated while being required in "booking/lib.php"! If you upgrade from Moodle 3.5.3+ to 3.6 you will only see an empty page, hence you have to uninstall the plugin before upgrading at all!

    Hope to see an update for this gorgeous plugin in the near future! smile

    Kind regards,
    George

    @Ali: Do you have created a booking option yet on your instance you are upgrading? I think the query might fail, if there is no booking option at all yet created. I will check if i can refine the query.

    yes, I have lots of booking options created previously before the upgrade
