Hi everyone,

I'm posting this issue here since there isn't a good documentation to follow and cannot contact with any developer.

I installed all the required modules and created a new reservable content type (bikes) with some items. I also could show a view with the reservations calendar but the question is: how do I create a view with a list of reservables items which have attached a link to book them? I mean, this is supposed to be used by non-admin users too, and they must have the ability to view the bookable items and a link (or form or something) to book.

Maybe someone has achieved this. I hope so because I'm circling around to find a module simple enough to don't spend days or weeks of research just for getting this use case working:
- List of resource types linking to list of reservable items.
- Calendar view for viewing items availability.
- Link / form to book the desirable item.
- Calendar admin's overview for managing reservations.

I was trying the B.A.T. module but I can't neither dynamically list resource types (type bundles. The label field handler is broken) nor show their availability calendar (I have to create a new content type with a Calendar reference field, manually create the content for the resource type and then list the desired calendars).

Thanks in advance.

MERCI is more geared toward booking a number of items rather then just one. The rooms module has a workflow as you've noted but is geared toward booking one thing (a room) for periods of a day (as opposed to hours.)

Take a look at the merci_calendar_view module. This includes the view to filter on items and show their availability.

From there install the prepopulate module (https://www.drupal.org/project/prepopulate) and then override template_preprocess_calendar_week. For empty items you can add a onclick event to link the merci reservation form based off what time block and item the user has selected.
