Don't get me wrong...I am loving the module...I'm just offering (lots of) suggestions on how to build on it.
What about the ability for a user to book an available day on the calendar? With or without e-commerce integration. Even if it is without, it'd at least allow a visitor to "grab a day" while online and the node owner would be notified that someone wants that day.
Even better would be to allow a day to be set to have multiple 'availabilities' so that users can grab that day until all spots are taken. I'm thinking like a hair salon that may be able to take 5 visitors per day.
Picking a specific time of day would be even cooler (but I think I'm pushing my requests already) but that could be built upon later...
Thanks again for a great module, I'm really enjoying it.

The original Availability Module offered more of this sort of functionality I think. For my current uses, I'm not sure if I'm going to need the booking support, but if anybody is interested in building that in, I'd welcome patches. I think at least being able to show interest in a day would be good for now, but perhaps just linking through to another module (perhaps webform?) to actually handle the requests?
Thanks for all the great feedback! Glad to see the module is useful :)

Webform....hmmm...interesting.
This will work!
What I did was install the Webform module, allowed the Availability Calendar in the Webform's content type settings and then created a webform with a bunch of pertinent fields.
This is what it looks like:

It could use some shortening up as the form is kinda long but I suppose I could theme that out.

would there by any automation /workflow of the availability and the request via Webform. I.e you only allow 20 people make such reservation per day.
How about http://drupal.org/project/publicbookings ? It does allow us to check availability, it just not display availbility as this module does.

looks like a good solution. when i enable availability calendars on the webform content type and submit the change, it doesn't "stick" -- inother words, when i go back and check the webform content type, availability calendars is disabled again! did you have this issue, and if so, how did you overcome it?

[edit] I was using latest dev version. Switched back to released version and problem went away
