Hello friends,
Today, I added another option to my planner.
You can now display it on a daily and hourly basis.
If you want a specific view, it can sometimes take a while to find a good solution.
Here's a summary:
Broadly speaking, in this case, the CSS and HTML are generated on the backend (server) and then the HTML code is processed first, followed by the processing of the CSS. This is the usual workflow in web development.
I am so glad that I created the planner using only HTML and JavaScript. I can now easily set and generate different views. One is not dependent on anyone.
Best regards,
Otto

I can now recognize the overlapping, both when I insert a bar with the mouse and when I make changes via the modal dialog.
This means that the first check is now already done in the JavaScript part. When I then save the dataset, it is checked again in the Harbour-Script.

How do you intend to proceed with the help files ? Extern or intern ?

Hello Marc,
I use HTML files. I have created a text editor with mod harbour.
With it, I can edit my documents from anywhere.
I posted something here about the HarbourWriter a year ago.

Hello friends,
It’s a nice story: 30 years ago I released my first Windows hotel software – back then at the same time as Windows 95.
In the meantime, I tried many things – SQL, purchased components – but it was never quite what I had envisioned. Then came mod_harbour and my own modules for the planner. And now I’ve rebuilt everything once again: a FiveWin/Harbour microservice on the backend, combined with HTML/JS/PHP on the client side. Intentionally kept very simple.
Working “library-free” is a real advantage today. Strategically, it means more control, better performance, and less supply-chain risk for the future.
I hope this new version will again remain my main product for the next 30 years. It all started with PC-Hotel in Clipper, then from 1995 onwards WINHOTEL – and now the new WINHOTEL Web version.
Best regards,
Otto

Hello friends,
I’ve now built another “Walk-In” view for the room plan.
This view displays, on a floor plan you add as a background, the occupied and vacant rooms and shows in a badge how long a room will remain available.
For front desk work, it’s an ideal view.
Best regards,
Otto
