I was wondering if there's support for multiple "calendars" (might not be the right word here, but comes closest I guess). Assume we're a store with multiple locations, can each location have it's own booking system, where customer A books a day/time slot for location A, and customer B can book a day/time slot for location B (both can be at the same day/time)
Or if that's not possible, it there a way to extend the booking system so bookings can be tagged with a specific value (location A or location B), so it's possible to identify?
And what about permissions? If we want to allow people from location 1 to only see bookings for location 1?
Hi Dirk!
Yeah, we call it Resources. Think of a resource as a unique calendar, on each resource you can change the availability with different events, one time event, recurring events etc.
In your example you'd create one resource for location A and one for location B. When a booking is made on resource A the B resource wont be affected at all. In the admin panel in Umbraco you would get a overview for both resources.
The're currently no permission setup in the back office, if you give your Umbraco users access to the uBooking section they'll see all your resources.
ok, thanks for the info, multiple resources support is great, not sure if i can sell the permission thing, depends on whether they really need this feature.

Lots of questions...
Looking forward to an answer
