Setting up MRBS on fraser.sfu.ca- Customizations

I created a .htaccess restricted subdirectory named restricted. Then I copied all the files to the subdirectory (chmod as required), and changed the files in the unrestricted directory to point to the restricted directory [e.g. in day.php etc, href=\"restricted/edit_entry.php] and removed the links to admin.php. I deleted the edit_entry.php and admin.php in the unrestricted directory.

If you only use english you may modify wording by changing the lang.en file and change config.inc.php to disable_automatic_language_changing = 1; (0 is the default and sets the language based on the user's preference).


We get the error message [Warning: Server failed to set locale to "_" (Unix)] so we used the command 'locale -a' on fraser, e.g.,

science_fraser% locale -a
C
POSIX
en_CA
en_CA.ISO8859-1
en_CA.UTF-8
en_US  [etc]
Then set the locale in config.inc.php as shown here:
// Set this to a valid locale (for the OS you run the MRBS server on)
// if you want to override the automatic locale determination MRBS
// performs
$override_locale = "en_CA.UTF-8";  //SFU changed to n_CA.UTF-8 from blank
and the error message was gone.


In order to show that a booking is part of a series in day.php I added an asterisk to the booking:

Line 182: changed sql $tbl_entry.description AS entry_description to

$tbl_entry.description AS entry_description, entry_type

Line 233: Added line after $today[$row['room_id']][date($format,$t)]["long_descr"] = "";

$today[$row['room_id']][date($format,$t)]["repeatdc"]  = ($row['entry_type'] ? '*' : '');	//Added SFU to show repeating

Line 423: Added line after $long_descr = htmlspecialchars($today[$room_id][$time_t]["long_descr"]);

$repeatdc = $today[$room_id][$time_t]["repeatdc"];   //Added by Dave Carmean SFU to show repeating

Line 500: Added $repeatdc to show asterisk in

echo "<a href=\"view_entry.php?id=$id&area=$area&day=$day&month=$month&year=$year\" title=\"$long_descr\">$descr$repeatdc</a>\n";


I commented out the "lastmonth" table cell at the bottom of mincals.inc to remove the small calendar for the previous month (people generally don't want to know what rooms were available in the past, and it made extra space for comments).

See my comments about creating additional tables in tables.my.sql. so you can have different administrators and different websites.


In day.php I changed it so depending on the area it would display capacity as "(seats ##)"  or not display capacity (e.g, most people do not want their capacity shown).
        echo "<th width=\"$room_column_width%\">"
            . htmlspecialchars($row[0]) . ($row[1] > 0 ? "<small> (seats $row[1])</small>" : " ") . "</th>";

The original (which has links) was:
        echo "<th width=\"$room_column_width%\">
            <a href=\"week.php?year=$year&month=$month&day=$day&area=$area&room=$row[2]\"
            title=\"" . get_vocab("viewweek") . " &#10;&#10;$row[3]\">"
            . htmlspecialchars($row[0]) . ($row[1] > 0 ? "($row[1])" : "") . "</a></th>";
