Online Appointment Booking

Booking Bat allows you to take appointments from your website. Allow your customers to schedule appointments with Booking Bat!

Install

Create Project

Use composer to install the project

composer create-project --stability="dev" bookingbat/application

Install Database

Copy database-config.dist.ini to database-config.ini and edit in your appropriate database credentials. Then run install.sql

Email queue

The application sends emails for appointment confirmations & reminders. These are added to a queue which is then batched. To batch the queue hit the URL /email/send. You may wish to add a cron job to batch out the email queue at predefined intervals.

Run Tests

To run the unit tests simply run

./test

Ensure xdebug is enabled for your CLI webserver. With xdebug present, ZF2 redirects do not run if a PHP warning was generated earlier. Without xdebug they do work. Therefore there may be a test failure in Travis CI (which uses xdebug) that you don't see locally, if you don't do this:

php --server=localhost:8000 --docroot="public" &
echo '<?php phpinfo();' > public/phpinfo.php
#find the php.ini path and load xdebug like you normally do
ps aux | grep php
# (find the PID of the webserver & kill it, then restart it)
