Hello,

I am setting up a site for North American Conference on Biomechanics. We have 22 exhibition booth and companies can reserve them online. I plan to create a content type called 'booth_application'. On submit page there is a drop-down list showing all available booth. A applicant can choose one booth from that drop-down list to reserve it. As long as a booth is reserved, it will not show in the list any more.

Looks like the module Resource_Conflict has functions close to my intent, and I decide to have a try. However, since I am completely new to CCK-nodereference, I really don't know how to start, even though I already installed all these modules.

Can you give me some hints about using resource conflict to implement this function? Any any hint is greatly appreciated!!!

sincerely,
Derek

You'll actually need to create two content types. The first would be a 'booth' (or whatever you choose), containing information about the booth specifically. This would be a good place to include any information specific to each booth. Then next type, the 'booth_application', would contain their application info as well as a nodereference pointing to the 'booth' content type. This nodereferenced field would then be chosen as a 'conflictable' resource in the content types page.

Hope this helps. Feel free to contribute better documentation :).

When you make the site live, mind posting the link here?
