Extract duration and weekday/weekend data from edit_entry

[jberanek]

Hi, I have been using this system for our mini school library and it has been a fantastic journey. Now that I wanted to have a row beneath the edit_entry page to tell the booker that you have booked XX hours and YY minutes on (Weekday / Weekend).

Any kind soul can share where can I extract the data from? I tried to look into the End Time JS to no avail and got lost in the codes.

Thanks and hear from the community soon.

I am not entirely sure what you are trying to achieve. The edit entry page already tells you the date and duration of the booking.

I'm just trying to poke around the edit_entry page to extract those parameters(Hours, Minutes and Weekday/Weenend), are there any pointers to achieve that?

You could get them using JavaScript by modifying the file js/edit_entry.js.php.

It looks like it is more difficult than it seems.. I tried to add a 'Duration' parameter after the <fieldset id="booking_controls" in edit_entry.php.

The from edit_entry.php stores the duration information which is dynamically destroyed and rebuilt (upon page load, change of start_second etc) with JavaScript functions from edit_entry.js.php.

So with that one parameter, I need to add in much more controls than I initially though it should be.

@Campbell Are there any shorter way without rewriting/modify the existing JS code to update the duration parameter at every scenario?

Not really. The duration is going to change every time you change the start or end times. And if you switch area then you could find yourself in an area which uses a different mode or different resolution, so the duration is going to change again then. In other words you're going to have to use JavaScript.

I'm still not really clear what you're trying to achieve and why.
