I believe I have resource planning setup in my ldap and sogo config
correctly (Sogo 1.3.8b, tb 3.1, sogo plugins 3.105). I made
multiplebookings set to 1 for this resource. Below is the behavior I see
and I want to check if this is as expected:
Thunderbird:
If user A creates an event and invites Resource B and B is available, B
accepted invitation. User A does not get notification that B accepted,
but the calendar event shows B has accepted. An email is sent to
resource B, which could be forwarded to some third party (for monitoring
the resource?).
If user A creates an event and invites Resource B but B is unavailable,
then that conflict shows up in the freebusy, but if the user doesn't
notice or care, they can proceed without warning. When they try to save
the event, then get "An error has occurred" when they try to save the
event with the error message "MODIFICATION_FAILED"
Sogo:
Same behavior a T-bird if there is no conflict
If there is a conflict and you happen to be in the invite attendees
page, you will get a warning about the conflict, but you can ignore it.
If you ignore the warning (or create a conflict by changing the time in
the main panel) then when you save the event, you get a popup saying
"Maximum number of simultenous bookings (1) reached for resource
Resource B".
Is this normal? Is there a way to get T-bird to at least report a error
message that users can understand when they try to book a busy resource.
Alternatively, having the event go through and an e-mail to the event
organizer saying that Resource B cannot accept would work as well.
