Hi,

This is more of a general question than a feature request. I have currently got a CCK type that I want to associate with a certain booking slot on the calendar. This CCK is for a type of "medication" that the customer can renew and then choose a delivery date (for when the medication will be delivered).

Is it possible to click "Book now" and then remove the process of creating a Node - and have it so you just choose a date/time and confirm - so this associates itself with a particular node?

I just want to make the process of a user booking a timeslot, a bit more usable or user-friendly instead of them booking - then creating a node - and saving - it just doesn't appear logical to a non-drupal user.

I'd love to hear other people's suggestions anyway, cheers.

You can use Workflow module where you can apply some states of booked slots.
You can make states in example: provisional, pre-booked, confirmed, paid or something similar.
So creation of node doesn't have to mean that you ordered or booked already something, you can make different functionality depends of the workflow state.
Then you can assign different actions for specified node state, so you can associate it with particular node or do whatever you want.
You can mix Workflow with Views as well and show in example nodes with confirmed state, in this way you can separate which nodes has been booked and which not yet.
Is that something that you looked for?
