Hi guys,

I've completed the appointments module. I know I took longer than what I thought, with all my other duties it's hard to get things done fast. What I did was I created a new module namely Appointment Wizard Module that depends on the Events Module. The wizard is very very very similar to that of Apple's Genius Bar Reservation

Key features in version 1.0.0 are:

  1. Posts events to the specified Events calendar.
  2. Does not allow conflicting events.
  3. You specify working hours and exceptions (holidays, etc.)
  4. You specify appointment duration.
  5. Both guests and members can schedule appointments.
  6. Localization implemented.

Things I know it needs in version 1.1.0:

  1. Implement categories. Right now it posts to the Events Module under no category. Some may want it to post under a fixed category or allow the end user to select a category.
  2. Let end users type a description for the appointment (purpose, etc.)
  3. Let end users search for and cancel their appointment using the provided appointment info (Name and Email).

I will package it and upload it to snowcovered.com soon. I'll post a link here as soon as I have it, with screenshots, etc. I will listen to user suggestions/needs and modify it accordingly. This one has only my client's specs though I added a few things here and there to make it more usable.

Please let me know what you think and if it is going to help you with your particular needs.

Hi Lester,

Sounds great. Make sure you keep aware of what is going on in the new releases of the events module. There are some substantial changes to the underlying table structure that will undoubtedly require code change at your end.  Have a look at this page for some more details.

Cheers
Roger
