    Hi Roberto
    It is a useful plugin you have made. It works fine, except for the drop down list "Add request". The parameter “ Manual reserve show users of” (“reservation_manual_users”), in the global settings for the module, will only show users from the whole site and not for the course. Even when I specify that it shall only view users from a course. We are running on Moodle 2.1.2+ Do you have any suggestions for me to how i can solve this issue?

    Hi Roberto,

    i had to make a code change in the file view.php.

    I'm using the Reservation module, with a Shibolleth authentication system, and when the module was showing the list of participants, there was a mistake between the link with the user picture and the user name.

    So i've changed the line #491 in view.php to:
    $data = $OUTPUT->user_picture($user, array('courseid'=>$course->id)).

    And insert the following line just before that:
    $user = $DB->get_record('user', array('id' => $request->userid));

    now, i'm trying to translate it to portuguese...

    In response to Harald problem, you need to edit the view.php file and comment line (approx.) #269:
    $participants = get_users_by_capability($context, 'mod/reservation:reserve', 'u.id, u.firstname, u.lastname', 'u.lastname ASC');
    and add these lines instead :
    $contextCourse = get_context_instance(CONTEXT_COURSE, $COURSE->id);
    $participants = get_enrolled_users($contextCourse, null, 0, 'u.id, u.firstname, u.lastname','u.lastname ASC');

    Is it possible to schedule by period instead of time for schools with rotating schedules based on periods rather than specific times?

    Sorry Laurie,
    I don't understand what do you need.
    Can you tell me what do you mean about schedule by period?

    Thanks,
    Roberto.

    Our school schedule is by period, A - H that are rotated throughout the year or for special occasions. As a result, scheduling the day by Period rather than hours and minutes works better for us.

    Hi,
    I've noted that this plugin uses yui2 libraries.
    Do note that moodle version 2.4 (in development) has moved from using yui2 to yui2in3 as described by MDL-34741.
    Here is a link to using yui2in3 : http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/yui/yui-yui2.html

    Hi,
    I was translating the reservation plugin into spanish and noticed a possible typo in one English language string:

    2.3 [configlocations,reservation] "In this page you can magage standard locations for reservations in this Moodle site"

    "magage" should be "manage" (I think).

    Thank in advance for your help.
