Sven, latest release on github already supports Moodle 3.0. I'll post new release on moodle.org today.
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
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 update Reservation 3.0 to support Moodle 2.7 and above.
Roberto.
Thanks for the quick response. We will update the Reservation 3.0 now.

We've tested that everything is working with this new version. Thanks a lot.

I have a brand new installation of Moodle 2.9.3 and a new server. Tried to install but it fails at validation. Would you help please.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks
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):

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
