The ”full calendar” has the disadvantage, that it is only the webmaster that can put data in the calendar, and the calendar is therefor not interactive.

My idea  is the following :

The calendar should read its data from a Mysqldatabase.

You specify the tablename

From date field

from time field

To date field

to time field

Text field

Filterfield

Filtervalue ( the user can put in ex. lane, billardtable, or department (see later ) )

As in the present calendar You should be able to set up more tables as You now can set more icalendarfiles up.

You use the mailform to put data in the Mysql base

In the mailform You can put in the dates and times and You could have a drop-down list to choose the ressource.

You could then in the calendar see the resources and when they are available.

When You have filtered by ressource, You can have the table set up for each ressource, where You filter by ressource.

When calendar read more tables, the user could ( via a dropdown ) click on what resources the user want to see in the same calendar. Or the webmaster could choose to have several calendars showing each one resource.

This is wery similar to the google calendar, but X5 then uses Mysql-database instead of a calendarprogram to input data.

Maybe someone could make a little widget that could check for doublebookings .

I hope that there in the near future comes an easy way to put the :

 ( $user = $pa->who_is_logged();)

user into the database via the mailform.

Via the database viewer You can see the same events as in the calender, but here the events is on the listform, and You could set up via a locked page that the entries can be edited.

In the table You can also see the username who has booked the entry. You should have a locked page where users must log-in to book ( via the mailform).

It could be a login-page per department or whatever.

In this way You can have a booking-tool to book lanes in a tennis club, Billardtables in a billardclub, or conference rooms in a firm, or whatever.
