    Hi Roberto, I am getting a "syntax not supported error" trying to install in Moodle 3.0. Hope this really important module will be available for 3.0. Thanks for your work!

    Michael, I've tried to delete all reservations and it seems to works. I'm test on the last release on github.
    Sven, latest release on github already supports Moodle 3.0. I'll post new release on moodle.org today.

    Dear contributor,
    We've had a serious error with the new version 3.0 of this plugin:
    We are using Moodle 2.8.7, we can use the version 2.7 of reservation plugin without any problems.
    But after we upgraded to the new version this Monday, every time we creating the reservation in Moodle, there will be an error message: Fatal error: Call to underfined method mod_reservation_mod_form::standard_intro_elements() in /var/www/html/moodle/mod/reservation/mod_form.php on line 32

    Would you please help to check this?
    Thanks a lot.
    Best wishes,
    Lina

    Sorry that's my fault.
    Reservation 3.0 must require Moodle 2.9.
    I try to update 2.7 release to solve this problem.
    Please download last 2.7 module release.

    Regards,
    Roberto.

    I've got a situation where we have students that we know are registered and in a reservation; but, as an admin, when I go to the reservation page to manage the list and perhaps even cancel some reservations, there are no students listed. I had emptied my cookies the other day, and I had also changed the reservation end date of the activity, a few days after the reservation window had closed. Since then, I can't seem to see the reservation list, and even when I reserved a spot, the counter on the page still says 0/20. I can't even see myself on the list after I made my own reservation. I can see the students when I run my daily query against the database, and the output shows me all reservations NOT cancelled. They are there. The other reservation activity that we set up has 19 students in it, and I can see and manage that list no problem. CAn you suggest what could be causing this behavior??

    Thanks

    Salve, ho un problema con il modulo: ho installato la versione 3.0 del modulo su Moodle 2.8.5 ma non riesco ad accedere alla pagina di invio messaggio per i prenotati delle attività: dopo aver selezionato uno, più o tutti i prenotati nella scheda "Gestione prenotazioni", seleziono "invia messaggio" e clicco su OK. A questo il punto il sistema mi genera una pagina bianca con lo stesso url dal quale sono partito (http://www.icscalvino.gov.it/Moodle/mod/reservation/view.php?id=109&mode=manage). Specifico che non sto usando l'invio attraverso SMTP. E' obbligatorio per attivare questa funzionalità del modulo? Grazie in anticipo per ogni suggerimento!

    Ho aggiornato la versione del modulo 3.0 qui pubblicata con l'ultima versione che era già disponibile su github. Dovrebbe risolvere il problema segnalato.

    Ciao Roberto, grazie per l'immediata risposta. Purtroppo però scaricando la versione da github e sostituendola, il sistema mi segnala che è necessario l'aggiornamento del db ma lanciandolo mi appare questo errore di cui invio screenshot: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6VGQmq43cXSVi1CV2xMblNQQWs (NB fra l'altro tornando alla vecchia versione sono sparite tutte le icone delle prenotazioni dalle attività dei corsi...).
  • Giuseppe Pillera

    Ok, come non detto per il problema di aggiornamento. Tutto ok. L'unica cosa è che continua a non visualizzare l'icona nella struttura del corso e nella pagina di ogni attività di tipo prenotazione (il link errato all'icona è: http://www.icscalvino.gov.it/Moodle/theme/image.php/adaptable/reservation/1462874402/icon), mentre la visualizza correttamente nella pagina di panoramica plugin (questo il link corretto: http://www.icscalvino.gov.it/Moodle/theme/image.php/adaptable/mod_reservation/1462874402/icon)

    Risolto finalmente tutto con l'aggiornamento del db. smile

    Hi Roberto. Many thanks for providing this plugin to the community; its functionality is really appreciated by our staff and students, and we’re really grateful to you for your efforts to maintain and update it.

    On that note, please could I quickly query whether you have any plans to update the plugin to be fully compatible with Moodle v3.1, and its new Global Search feature in particular? To clarify: while we’ve tested the Reservation plugin under v3.1 and all of the core functionality seems to work fine, we’ve found that instances of the activity are not searchable via v3.1’s Global Search feature. Please see the following screenshot for details, which lists all of the available areas that can searched under v3.1 (note that these settings are available via: Site Administration -> Plugins -> Search -> Manage Global Search):

    http://imgur.com/lWWQByE

    Note also that the above screenshot was taken on a v3.1 system where the Reservation plugin is installed and available. However, as you can see, the Reservation activity is not listed as being available to be searched. Obviously, this is likely to be a significant problem/cause of confusion for users who might want to search for specific instances of the Reservation activity across Moodle.

    I’m not a developer, but my understanding is that mod plugins can be made searchable relatively easily via the addition of a new search class within the plugin’s codebase (located at ../classes/search/activity.php). Please see the following for further details:

    https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=334938
    https://docs.moodle.org/31/en/Global_search
    https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Search_API

    We really hope this search capability can be added to Reservation as I’m sure it would be a huge benefit to our users (as well as those of other v3.1 systems) and, again, many thanks for all your efforts to develop this plugin and share it with the community.

    Best wishes,
    Lina
