Room and Equipment Reservation Site
I would like to know if there is a way to select multiple resources when booking a resource. Or if there is a way to create a new calendar that will use the availability lookup feature of the resource reservation site.

If there is, I haven't found it as that is a feature we also require.
I work at a college, and people want to 'bulk book' a series of resources (laptops etc) for one period. If, for example, they require 16 laptops for a class (which is often the case) they would have to book each laptop in turn. After singing the praises of the so called 'fabulous 40' templates to my bosses, I now have egg on my face as they are seemingly bug ridden.
The multiple resource booking is only a small problem compared to the other bugs in that template. I can't believe they released it without testing the international time/date formatting. If you're outside of the US (like me in the UK), the only way to change the date format on the reservations page is through XSL - and even then it buggers up other parts of the system which are seemingly hard coded to US date format. I now have a problem where the resources suddenly all show up as permanently reserved even though they have no reservations - again I believe this is due to an out-of-range date formatting problem. I cannot find a way of reporting these bugs officially, and have yet to find a MS representative that will help.
Sorry for the strong words, but this template just doesn't seem up to scratch.
- Hi Daryll,
if you want to change the time-format into european style you have to edit the file:
overrideCalendar.js
(Path: C:\Programs\Shared Documents\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\ReservationsModules)
Exchange the expression var chars=new Array("\u002f","-");
to this: var chars=new Array("\u002f","-",".");
If this doesn`t help - you could also edit the overrideCalendar.js
within the existing project (means within the sharepoint designer)
Templatesitename-->Lists --> Reservations-->overrideCalendar.js
