Hi,
the last three days I've been running around the internet, searching, installing and trying a solution for my needs. Either they were too unflexible, too expensive, or both. So after reading a nice article about the drupal 7 calendar, I thought I'd first ask if it is possible to use drupal.
Basically what I need is an appointment scheduling system.
- We have three users, two of which appointments can be booked for (third is desk staff, who does most of the bookings).
- Each user should be able to book appointments into another users calendar.
- Each user should see all calendars at the same time (often called "layering").
- Working hours should be settable for each user, different each day but repeating every week. Working hours can be split (like 09-12 & 14-20). Working hours should be visible somehow (colored or something) to ease booking.
- Customers ("attendees") should be pickable from an adressbook
- Custom fields are needed with a booking (optional forcable)
- a bonus would be that customers from the adressbook are able to login, and request a "meeting" that has to be acknowledged by one of the users.
Would this be possible with drupal? I'm a perl programmer with rudimentary php knowledge, so if there are customizations needed, would I be able to do them? If not, what would be a reasonable amount I'd have to pay someone to do the customizations?
DDEV is the official local development tool of Drupal. And like Drupal, DDEV depends on the support of the open source community.
