just editing the xml in the webpart inside the portal

I have run into a strange issue, when I attempt to create a reservation I get  "The resource you are trying to reserve is not available at the time you specified"; however, the site is brand new and does not have any conflicting events.... any ideas how to resolve? Thanks!

Nate,

Check if you created a resource using System Account. As I described above, the resource will not be available for reservation is you create a resource with System Account. Use a different user who has Full Control permission to the site to create a resource.

Luis Castanheira,

Can you explain further in detail? Editing which xml? I am interested to know how to make the hour change as you illustrated. Thank you!

hello to you all ,

I am still facing the prob of unable to reserve an resorce becuase it's taling me that the resurce is unavlibale/....... what is the sulation???

Tigirry,

  The resource was created from a user with Full Control.  The resource workflow completes properly and it appears to be available at all times as the bar is all white (not purple), but when i try to make a new reservation, i get "the resource you are trying to reserve is not available at the time you specified."  The strange part is it works perfectly on my virtual machine, but we can't get it to work on our development or production servers.  Any ideas ?

Nate,

It seems like the workflow associated with the reservation template is not properly firing which makes the resource unavailable. Try to edit the xml file as Kenneth Scott describes at programmerramblings.blogspot.com/.../adventures-with-wss30-room-and.html and check if the status column value is "Available" for the resource. You should also be able to make a reservation with a Contributor.

Also, check if you configured the Reservations list for users to be able to edit their own items only. I noticed that if I allow users to only edit their own items, the reservations are not properly made (others can reserve the same resource at the same time frame).

Hi Tigirry,

I can't see any workflow in Reservation and Resouce list. why

Hi,

I too am havign problems with reserving a resource. I have full control and when I create a resource it becomes reserved indefinitely.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi  - I'm relatively new on sharepoint. Can anyone tell me where to download Room and Equipment Reservation template for MOSS 07?

Thanks

oops sorry, just managed to find out through Microsoft's online help.

(www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx)

I'm sure I'll be in touch again after downloading it!

Has anyone found a way to modify the romm and equipment reservation template so we can do re-ocurring meetings

Has anyone figured out how to display availability and reservations made by other users? None of my users are able to see reservations made by anyone except themselves.

I am facing an issue where having more than 21 resources causes the follwing. When a user click the calendar looking webpart the drop down list is not populated with that resource name, you are required to click the list to fill in.

How would you populate column of Resource Type? It's a lookup column. I think I would have to delete and recreate it.

Check to see if you have modified the End Date default value to anything other than none.  I had set my default to "Today", and thus whenever I created a new resource it would be available up to the date/time created, then it would be forever more Reserved.   I hope that helps out!

Melissa,

To change what you can see, go to the reservations list, view bar on right and click modify this view.  Scroll down to filters and select show all items in this view.  If this still does not work for you go into the list settings:  reservations, settings (next to new and actions tab) and select setings, list settings.  In the middle column, select permissions for this list to make sure your team has the appropriate permissions set.

Hi - how can we get the "ReservationsCalendar" view (a calendar) to show ALL reservations, effectively "AllItems" .. ?  Right now it shoes only the "My ... " view.

Looking at the view it IS set to "All Items" but no go.  

Thoughts .. ?

hey people,

for the ones asking about how they can see all the reservations => in the My Reservation list, u click on View (on the top right) and u select All items.

for the ones asking about not being able to reserve meeting rooms because they are reserved for ever => remove the permissions from all lists, reset the permissions of the Room and equipment reservations site with the Admin user then make the list inherit the permissions of the site.

@ Paul

Modify ReservationCalendar.aspx (via SPD) and change CAML Query in <ListViewXml xmlns="schemas.microsoft.com/.../ListViewXML> by deleting

<Eq>

<FieldRef Name="Author"/>

<Value Type="Integer">

<UserID Type="Integer"/>

</Value>

</Eq>

condition.

Here is full string showing all reservations:

&lt;View Name=&quot;{BD44AAD8-5EB5-4039-B048-07038FB5C219}&quot; Type=&quot;CALENDAR&quot; Scope=&quot;Recursive&quot; DisplayName=&quot;Reservations Calendar&quot; Url=&quot;/rezerwacja/Lists/Reservations/ReservationCalendar.aspx&quot; Level=&quot;1&quot; BaseViewID=&quot;3&quot; ContentTypeID=&quot;0x&quot; ImageUrl=&quot;/_layouts/images/announce.png&quot;&gt;&lt;Toolbar Type=&quot;None&quot;/&gt;&lt;ViewFields&gt;&lt;FieldRef Name=&quot;RERStartDate&quot;/&gt;&lt;FieldRef Name=&quot;REREndDate&quot;/&gt;&lt;FieldRef Name=&quot;Title&quot;/&gt;&lt;/ViewFields&gt;&lt;CalendarViewStyles&gt;&amp;lt;CalendarViewStyle Title=&amp;#39;Day&amp;#39; Type=&amp;#39;day&amp;#39; Template=&amp;#39;CalendarViewdayChrome&amp;#39; Sequence=&amp;#39;1&amp;#39; Default=&amp;#39;FALSE&amp;#39; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;CalendarViewStyle Title=&amp;#39;Week&amp;#39; Type=&amp;#39;week&amp;#39; Template=&amp;#39;CalendarViewweekChrome&amp;#39; Sequence=&amp;#39;2&amp;#39; Default=&amp;#39;FALSE&amp;#39; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;CalendarViewStyle Title=&amp;#39;Month&amp;#39; Type=&amp;#39;month&amp;#39; Template=&amp;#39;CalendarViewmonthChrome&amp;#39; Sequence=&amp;#39;3&amp;#39; Default=&amp;#39;TRUE&amp;#39; /&amp;gt;&lt;/CalendarViewStyles&gt;&lt;ViewData&gt;&lt;FieldRef Name=&quot;Resource&quot; Type=&quot;CalendarMonthTitle&quot;/&gt;&lt;FieldRef Name=&quot;Resource&quot; Type=&quot;CalendarWeekTitle&quot;/&gt;&lt;FieldRef Name=&quot;&quot; Type=&quot;CalendarWeekLocation&quot;/&gt;&lt;FieldRef Name=&quot;Resource&quot; Type=&quot;CalendarDayTitle&quot;/&gt;&lt;FieldRef Name=&quot;&quot; Type=&quot;CalendarDayLocation&quot;/&gt;&lt;/ViewData&gt;&lt;Query&gt;&lt;Where&gt;&lt;And&gt;&lt;DateRangesOverlap&gt;&lt;FieldRef Name=&quot;RERStartDate&quot;/&gt;&lt;FieldRef Name=&quot;REREndDate&quot;/&gt;&lt;Value Type=&quot;DateTime&quot;&gt;&lt;Month/&gt;&lt;/Value&gt;&lt;/DateRangesOverlap&gt;&lt;Neq&gt;&lt;FieldRef Name=&quot;RERStatus&quot;/&gt;&lt;Value Type=&quot;Text&quot;&gt;Available&lt;/Value&gt;&lt;/Neq&gt;&lt;/And&gt;&lt;/Where&gt;&lt;/Query&gt;&lt;/View&gt;

What other alternatives are out there ??  I've been looking but with little luck so far.

Did anyone find a way to add Resource Types to this template? I see only "Conf Room" and "Projector".

I think I found another solution to the problem of the "non reservation" items showing up when you try to create a real "all item" calendar view.

Create another field on the Reservations list and make it required.  Then, on your NEW "all item" list view (I'm calling this 'old reservations', just filter on where your new column is not equal to - then don't type anything in the last field so that the where predicate will basically be when the new column is not equal to nulls.

Am I missing something?  This seemed to be an easy, acceptable workaround for me.

I have done some customization like making the status field available in views and creating a few new views. Also added new fields Title etc. All the customization works well until I change the master page for the template site to any other but default. If I change the master page the behavior I get when I make a new reservation for any resource is that the new reservation is not created instead the "existing reservation with available status is updated with the time period as I selected for new reservation".

Has anyone faced the problem?

Thank you

Just to inform that even the out of the box site template is producing same behavior when changing the master page
