Where's the cool graph?

Currently the "conflict grid" is only displayed when there is a conflict to help users schedule around that. We've been working on a different grid for users with the Administer MERCI role that will link to all the reservations in each 15 minute block, but that hasn't been added yet.

I cannot see it even in the case of a conflict.

Apparently it should look something like http://drupal.org/files/issues/Picture%208_25.png, but I only see the attached.

The conflict grid should have appeared when that message is generated. Is this installed on a server I could get to?

I've installed and configured MERCI dozens of times and never not gotten the grid, but there are so many options it's difficult to know what might be causing this without looking at your specific configuration.

Thanks for offering to take a look, but no, the site is internal. I'll be happy to supply any kind of information/screenshots.

At this point I've done very little customization, and I'm testing using user 1, with a role that has the five MERCI permissions.

Default Reservation Status: Unconfirmed
everthing else 0 / empty

Reservation Content Type: everything left as default, no additional or removed fields

res_raum Content Type: as created, no additional or removed fields
MERCI settings, see screenshot

server, see screenshot

There is no HTML between the Title input field and the Menu fieldset, where the conflict grid picture ought to appear.

The blocking reservation is 36 hours next week; the node is in Unconfirmed, Pending or Checked out state, with the same result.

I have the same problem. The graph doesn't show up for user 0.

FYI attached are server details. I am running Drupal 6.14.

Thank You

Go to admin/settings/merci and set all the slots to 07:00-23:00. Other times (like 07:00-24:00 or 07:00-23:45) may not work...

This is extremely unforgiving: "07:00-23:00" works, but "7:00-23:00" doesn't. You don't get any error message, just no cool graph.

We need some error handling here for
* empty fields
* field values that cannot be parsed properly

Both of these lead to failure to display the cool graph.

Also, fractional hours like "07:00-22:30" don't work so well: the last two 15-minute slots appear twice as wide as the others.

I added admin_hours setting for the conflict grid to show hours outside of hours of operation. I set a default for that avraible of 07:00-23:00. That shoudl address #543244 where users don't see the grid when they configure MERCI without setting the hours of operation.

As far as making MERCI's hour entry on the admin form more user friendly, that is something that is normally set once and then never adjusted. Improving that UI is a really low priority compared to finished email confirmations, Autocheckin/checkout, and other improvements that impact end users.

That said... as always, I'm willing to test any patches submitted.

Yes, that'll help, I guess. It'll probably remain a support problem though. ;-)

Because users with Admister MERCI rights can create Resevervations outside the normal hours of operation, they need to see conflicts during those times as well.

If overnight reservations are allowed, then all users should see all times.
