JONGman is a reservation and resource management based on PHPScheduleIt. Thanks to PHPScheduleIt for a great standalone reservation system. Many of its features were imported to Jongman, now you can use such a reservation system on Joomla!
Requirements
Jongman is a native Joomla! 1.5 component, due to its object oriented programming requirements PHP5 is required. However, PHP5.3 is never testing. Jongman 1.x will not work on Joomla! 1.6, Jongman 2.x does, but it requires sometime for public release.
Geting StartedInstallation for Jongman is very easy, please get a latest release from JONGman project at JoomlaCode.org. Then install it using Joomla! installation in backend. Then go to Components->JONGman, create Schedule for holding your resources. Create and add your resources to the schedule. Reviews the global configuration parameters, we will come back later for this.
Then the last one for you to do before puting reservation in use, is adding menu item for each schedule.ย When adding menu item, you have to select one schedule for it. And that is now it is ready for serving.
Global Parameters
JONGman has many options that you can be set as global parameters or specific in menu item parameters. Before going to those parameters, please look at the sample schedule images below.
ย
The above image showing part of sample schedule. It is the top part ofย it. This schedule is in readonly mode as user didnot login. In readonly mode, no reservation can be made. If user logged in, he/she will be able to access. For the following picture, bottom of schedule screen shown. You can see bottom navigation and jump date used to jump to specified date.
The look and feel of schedule, as well as some otherย options can be set in global parameter of JONGman. You can also override this setting againย using menu item parameters. Please take a look at some parameters in global configuration/menu item parameters.
