Editing submitted appointment requests 

I was just looking at the demo site for the Booking module, and there are two questions I had...

1. When I was logged in as the demoadmin, I didn't seem to be able to add a new appointment. Hovering over the calendar wouldn't pring up the add link.  I was primarily intersted in adding times when I would be unavailable on the calendar.

2. Again when i was logged in as demoadmin, I could only accept, decline, or view the details of a submitted appointment.  I couldn't find a way to edit appontment details.  Specifically, I was interested in editing the length of time a customer had requested.  It may be nesessary to add more time for a specific customer, or to accomplish what the customer may have requested.

Am I missing something?

Re: Editing submitted appointment requests 

Rick,

The demo was initially setup so that only the DemoUser could submit appointments, I've adjusted it so that the DemoAdmin has that permission as well.

There is not a way to edit an appointment.  At this point, you would need to decline the current appointment and recreate it with the changes.  I'll add an issue to our issue tracking system to allow the administrator to edit appointments in some future version.

Hope that helps,

Re: Editing submitted appointment requests 

I just tried the demo site logged in as DemoAdmin, and I still couldn't see a way to add appointments.  There was niether a popup over the time slot I hovered over, or an 'Add Appointment' link below the calendar.  There is an 'Add Appointment' button at the top of the screen, but it just links back to the calendar page with no way to trigger the new appointment.

Again, what I'm most interested in is the ability to block out time that the service provider is unable to take appointments.  A way to do that while logged in as the admin would be most valuable to me.

I guess the workaround in this case is to create a user solely to submit appointment requests for time the service provider will be unavailable.  It would be a bit of a hassle to have to deal with two accounts, and the extra step of haviong to login as the admin just to approve those requests.  But... it could possibly be a usable workable for the short-term.

Likewise, editing a submitted appointment would be useful as well, but it doesn't make the module unusable in the situation I'm trying to address.

That said, please consider this as my formal request for both features in a future version of the Booking module.

Re: Editing submitted appointment requests 

Rick,

I had to restore the demo site from a backup yesterday, so it lost that change that I mentioned earlier.  I'll make it again, and make sure that it gets into our backup so that it works going forward.

Thanks for your input.
