Hey hey, first of all, I wanted to say that I love this module and am using it quite extensively for my clients that need to reserve equipment as well as facilities. Keep up the amazing work!

I have been having some issues setting up the use of MERCI templates for a Drupal 6 install. The issue is that templates cannot be re-used. Meaning that once a template is created through "save as draft" it shows up on the template list, but then if we use that template and save the reservation, the template disappears (this is also true of the draft_views list).

This really doesn't help me when I would like to easily create many reservations of the same type with different dates. (ie. reserving the same item every monday from 9-5 for 10 weeks).

I thought this might be a good work-around for this sort of thing to reduce filling out the forms every time.

I've tried using the dev version of the draft module as well as the version 1.8 to no avail.

If this won't work, could you suggest another way to quickly or bulk create many reservations easily or at once?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You'll want to install the 6.x-1.x-dev version of Drafts. Then at admin/settings/draft there will be an option to "Run in template mode." This will prevent drafts from being deleted when used.

Also another good option is to add "field_merci_date[0][value][date]|field_merci_date[0][value][time]|field_merci_date[0][value2][date]|field_merci_date[0][value2][time]" to the "Ignore form elements" list so the date field won't be populated.
