    Great macro! Any hints on why I get the wrong date on my Linux system using the same page source that gives me the correct date on my Windows system? Macro shows "Sunday, Feb 14, 2005" on the Linux system even though my Linux date shows correctly as "Sun Feb 13 17:53:02 CST 2005" (using date command). Thanks.

      Hmm. I know it's been a while since you reported this, but the only thing I can think of is that for some reason Java is running on Greenwich Mean Time, in which case if you are in the US or Canada, it will be Feb 14 GMT when it's actually 5PM Feb 13 local time...

      I have had this report before, and looked into it, but couldn't find anywhere in my code where it does anything at all to the current date, other than reading it...

    Nice plugin! However I came across it when looking for something to generate a booking form for a course which has a set number of places and runs on one specific date. Would it be possible to extend this plugin so you can have something like this:

    {booking:Course 1|date=2007-09-20}
    Place 1
    Place 2
    Place 3
    Place 4
    {booking}
    

    Then it would display only one column and not have the back/forward arrows?

      Hi Mark,

      Such a customisation is most likely quite possible, however this plugin hasn't really gotten much attention of late, so I don't know when it would be implemented. Regardless, my suggestion would be to create a feature request with the details. Any time plugins get updated it is from issues listed in JIRA - comments on the page tend to get missed.

    Actually we run Confluence 2.2.9 with Booking Plugin 1.1. As far as I´ve seen on our testinstallation with Confluence 2.8 and Booking Plugin 1.4, the old booking data will get lost. Is there any way to migrate the data? Or do we lose this? It´s not a big problem - we used the plugin for booking our conference rooms - but it would be nice to have everything converted.

    But anyway - we use the plugin for almost 3 years now - it´s done a great job till today

      The answer is quite simple: Yes, Sebastian it is
      Just remove the <br/> tag out of each of your booking in the OS_PROPERTYENTRY table.

      But be careful - backup your database before. And check it afterwards on points like May - Mai (if you have a German server running)
      And of course you have to flush the cache in the administration to see the changes.

      If I forgot something, let me know. But I´m happy again right now.

    Just a suggestion from my users.

    Now we are using the booking plugin to book resources like projectors. I separated the timeslot to 30mins. However it becomes very tedious for users who need to book the resource for a day or few hours.

    It will be good if the users can key in the end time after clicking the starting time.

    Is it any chance to book something by two or more people as I'm using this tool for shift+holiday and it would be good option if I could book holiday at the same time for more that one person.
