Hi everyone,

I'm pricing out some different options for appointment booking systems. Unfortunately, Drupal doesn't seem to have anything solid at this point to handle this. At this point we just have one person, a yoga teacher, who wants to have an online system for people to book appointments by prepaying for them. He has regular slots that are the same week-to-week, between two different locations.

We use Ubercart as our online store and will have a merchant account shortly, so it seems redundant to pay an external company to process credit cards when we can do it.

We might be able to do this with CiviEvent - create an "Appointment" event type, with a max registration of 1, and have it show up in a calendar. The idea is when people view the calendar, they only see appointments that are available. The problem of course is to make appointments no longer show up on the calendar once they are purchased (i.e. registration is full).

The Calendar module under Views already pulls in different fields from CiviEvent, such as whether it's Active, Public, etc. Can someone just make the registration status field available to Calendar, or something else that would have the same effect?

That is the main request.

If it's not too much more, we'd also like to see the CiviCRM Ubercart module upgraded to work with CiviCRM 3.0, and the same with CiviRepeat, which allows repeats of CiviEvents. But those are not requisites.

Please contact me at jugney@alignmentyoga.com with your quote or to discuss this. We are looking to get this done as soon as possible.

Thank you,
Jugney
