Really like this plugin except I'm getting an error when I select all users and try to delete them from the reservation.

"Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: PHP catchable fatal error"

One user will be deleted but the rest won't. I have to go through the delete process for every user which is time consuming.

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...).
