decentralized room

[jberanek]

Hello, I am using the latest version downloaded from the default branch. I want the configuration to consist of 2 areas: area A and area B. Area A includes rooms a1, a2, and a3. area B has rooms b1, b2, b3. I want to be in area A only an administrator can make a reservation. in area B I want rooms that are only accounts assigned to allow rooms. for example: room b1 only user b1 can book a room, room b2 only user b2 can book rooms, in addition the administrator can reserve the room. How do I do. please help memememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememe

You'll need to modify the function getWritable() in mtbs_auth.inc and change the section at the end from

  // Always allowed to modify your own stuff
  $user = getUserName();
  if (strcasecmp($creator, $user) === 0)
  {
    return true;
  }

  // Otherwise you have to be a (booking) admin for this room
  if (is_book_admin($rooms))
  {
    return true;
  }

  // Unauthorised access
  return false;

to something like

  $area_id = get_area($rooms);

  if ($area_id == 1)  // AREA A - change as appropriate
  {
    // Only admins can book rooms in Area A
    return is_book_admin($rooms);
  }

  // Other areas (ie AREA B)
  if (is_book_admin($rooms))
  {
    // Admins can book
    return true;
  }

  $user = getUserName();

  // Can't modify someone else's booking
  if (strcasecmp($creator, $user) !== 0)
  {
    return false;
  }

  global $area_b_users;

  // Otherwise you have to be one of the permitted users for the room
  return in_array($user, $area_b_users[$rooms]);

and in your config file add

  $area_b_users = array(
      '2' => array('user1', 'user2', 'user3'),
      '3' => array('user5'),
      '6' => array('user8', 'user9')
    );

This is obviously an example, where user1, user2 and user3 are allowed to book the room with id 2, etc.

Note that I haven't tested this.

Add the lines

  // 'specialuser' is allowed to modify their own stuff
  $user = getUserName();
  if ((utf8_strtolower($user) == 'specialuser') && (strcasecmp($creator, $user) === 0))
  {
    return true;
  }

to the beginning of the function. 'specialuser' is the user that you want to be able to book a room in all areas.
