Has your module only been tested with MySQL or have you checked it with other DBs? Thank you.

I don't think I ever tested it with other DBs but it use Moodle DB library functions to make queries.
Did you notice particular issues with another DB?
Roberto.
there was a problem with PHP 5.4 now fixed. For info see: https://github.com/bobopinna/moodle-mod_reservation/issues/8
You can download latest release to resolve it.
When I create ONE instance of the reservation mod, I dont't have any problem, but when I try to create a second instance in the same course, I can't, I recive the message:
Debug info: ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: ""
SELECT * FROM mdl_reservation WHERE id = $1
[array (
0 => '',
)]
Error code: dmlreadexception
Can you help me?
- reservation can be connected to another reservation so students can reserve to only one of them;
Mi sto impazzendo. Searched everywhere but cannot find how to make a reservation connect to another. Cannot find online any instructions. Appreciate any help you can provide me
Grazie in anticipo
Aaron
another thing I cannot understand is the grading. If teacher goes into a specific reservation while it is still "open", he/she will see under Manage the Grading option and can select what grade to give. Once the reservation time is expired the Grade option does not appear. Appreciate explanation on how to use - After the event starts the teacher can grade the event. Students will noticed by mail.
Regards
Aaron
scrivo in italiano poiché vedo che Roberto è italiano
Avrei una domanda. E' possibile collegare due (o più) istanze di prenotazione di modo che la seconda risulta visibile solo se i posti nella prima sono completi?
Questo faciliterebbe al docente prevedere quanti turni predisporre per un'attività in laboratorio (dove il numero di posti è limitato).
Grazie in anticipo,
Valentino
Is there currently any way to set up a sublimit other than a specific number for a profile field? I'd like to set up sublimits e.g. that at least 2 medical professionals and at least 3 educators should be in the reservation, but there could be more from of each and other fields as well. Is this possible?
Thanks!
if set the number of seats grater than the sum of all sublimits you get it.
Cheers,
Roberto.
The issue that I have now is with students who reserve a seating and do not attend. Once the reservation closing date has passed they are locked with that date and they cannot book another date which is bound to it. The only solution is that a tutor removes him/her from the previous booking. Is there an alternative solution where once the reservation date has passed user can be "auto unblocked" from the expired booked date?
for now there is not other way with reservation plugin to unblock students.
I think you can try to use moodle conditional rules to manage that without connected reservations.
I make a note for a this new feature in reservation development roadmap.

Apologies for the lack of detail, but the above was generated with debugging switched on. I was able to reproduce this by attempting to upgrade twice, but the same error occurred each time. Other plugins can be installed and upgraded without issue, it's just this one that is causing us problems. Any advice very gratefully received - and thank you for such a useful plugin!
sorry there was a bug in upgrade procedure.
I updated it a few second ago to fix it.
Please download it again.
Sorry again,
Roberto.
