Meeting Room Booking System http://mrbs.sourceforge.net/ ------------------------------- The Meeting Room Booking System (MRBS) is a PHP-based application for booking meeting rooms (surprisingly!). I got annoyed with the piles of books which were being used to book meetings. They were slow, hard to edit and only at the reception desk. I thought that a nice web-based system would be much nicer. Some parts of this are based on WebCalender 0.9.4 by Craig Knudsen (http://www.radix.net/~cknudsen/webcalendar/) but there is now very little which is similar. There are fundamental design goal differences between WebCalendar and MRBS - WC is for individuals, MRBS is for meeting rooms. ------ To Use ------ See the INSTALL file for installation instructions. Once it's installed try going to http://yourhost/mrbs/ The first thing you'll need to do is login as an administrator and create areas and rooms. The default authentication scheme uses a database table in the MRBS database. To create the first user click the "User list" link in the top-right of the page. If there aren't any users defined in your database yet, you will be able to create the first administrator. Once you have logged in as an administrator you can click on "Rooms" and create first an "Area", and then a "Room" within that area. There are other ways to configure authentication in MRBS, see the file AUTHENTICATION for a more complete description. It should be pretty easy to adjust it to your corporate colours - you can modify the themes under "Themes" or (preferably) copy an existing theme to a new directory and modify the new theme. See COPYING for licensing info. See NEWS for a history of changes. See AUTHENTICATION for information about user authentication/passwords. ------------- Requirements: ------------- - PHP 5.4.0 or above with MySQL and/or PostgreSQL support - MySQL (5.5.3 and above) or PostgreSQL 8.2 or above. - Any web server that is supported by PHP Recommended: - JavaScript-enabled browser - CSS-enabled browser - PHP module connection to the server (also called SAPI) if you want to use any of the basic http authentication schemes provided. (If you are considering porting MRBS to another database, see README.sqlapi) Warning: - Some users reported errors using some accelerators (APC, PHP Accelerator). If you get messages like this : "Internal Zend error - Missing class information for ...", your accelerator is the cause. ------ Usage: ------ The current project maintainer reports using it at work with about 150 clients. Many other reports of successful use have been seen on the MRBS mailing list, and your report would be welcome there too. Let us know who is using MRBS!
