In the default setup of ES 1.2.4 there is a sidebar heading called "Appointments". I cant find anything about it in settings, menu items, modules, etc. There doesnt seem to be any option for making appointments through the calendar app. Cant see anything about it in your documentation either. Does ES enable some sort of appointment booking? Is this related to badges or accomplishments or something?
Hello Marco,

That is actually a result of "schedules" that you create from your calendar app

ok I see what the problem is: all day appointments, or multi-day appointments, dont show up under the Appointments module. Is it going to be possible for users to share calendars, and for people to register for events, or at least add those appointments to their calendar? I see you have Events as an upcoming feature...

Hello Marco,

Yes, calendar is not events! Don't get confused by that. It's something like your own calendar on your computer which will be linked to the Events when it's ready

On the topic of appointment booking. What solutions does the community currently use or are looking at? I don't see the sort of "appointments booking" @marco inquires about in the EasySocial roadmap. There would seem to be an opportunity for leveraging the existing codebase to readily enable one EasySocial user to request an appointment or booking with another. But there is also the opportunity for an existing extension to leverage the EasySocial API to integrate into EasySocial by creating an App etc.

Has anyone experience with these solutions (or others) that they can share here for the communities benefit?

Where is the solution that supports not just a 1-many relationship (i.e. site admin is the (1) employer to the many employees) but a many-many (i.e. any single or group of EasySocial community members may be working as a 'Group' together on appointments/bookings such as a mountain climbing group, spa, law firm, etc.).

I'd like to see the JGive many-many model applied to making appointments that can be reserved and paid for within the EasySocial community. There could be great solution affinity between appointments booking and events (i.e. making an appointment that will happen at the event such as consulting with someone at a conference) and appointments and social (individual booked for an appointment engaging the appointee in a private social group before, during, after the appointment as a way to provide greater services and customer support).

Hello Eileen,

The calendar app is just like your calendar and it doesn't actually add any "events" functionality into it. When Events are added into EasySocial 1.3, any events that you participate will be logged into your calendar

Hello Andrew,

I'm sorry but we don't have the documentation for it. However,here are the steps you can follow. First of all, make sure you have install Calendar app and access them from here:

Once you have clicked on it, a calendar page will be displayed. You can create an appointment here: http://screencast.com/t/goqpP94u . The appointment that you have made will be listed here: http://screencast.com/t/7Iq4Ptob

Hope this helps.
