Despite having the ability to set a location for appointments within the scheduler, there is currently no way for a student to view where their appointment is taking place (except for the reminder email they can potentially receive).

As such, I've added the following to the scheduler code which creates a new "location" column and adds the room location of the appointment to only the student's view.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

$$$$$ ADD to locallib.php $$$$$

/**

• Get the meeting location for a specific scheduler slot
  **/

function scheduler_get_slot_location($slotid){
global $CFG, $DB;
$sql = "SELECT appointmentlocation FROM

{scheduler_slots}

WHERE id = ?";
$location = $DB->get_record_sql($sql, array($slotid));
if( !$location->appointmentlocation)

{ $slotloc = '<span style="text-align: center;"> - </span>'; }

else

{ $slotloc = $location->appointmentlocation; }

return $slotloc;
}

$$$$$ MODIFY studentview.php $$$$$

Line 197:

$table->align = array ('LEFT', 'LEFT', 'CENTER', 'CENTER', 'CENTER', 'LEFT');

line 196:

$table->head = array ($strdate, $strstart, $strend, get_string('location', 'scheduler'), get_string('choice', 'scheduler'), format_string($scheduler->staffrolename), get_string('groupsession', 'scheduler'));

ADD line 210:

$loc = scheduler_get_slot_location($aSlot->id);

line 214:

$table->data[] = array ("<b>$startdatestr</b>", "<b>$starttime</b>", "<b>$endtime</b>", "<b>$loc</b>", $radio, "<b>"."<a href=\"../../user/view.php?id={$aSlot->teacherid}&course=$scheduler->course\">".fullname($teacher).'</a></b>','<b>'.$aSlot->groupsession.'</b>');

Line 232:

$table->data[] = array ($startdatestr, $starttimestr, $endtimestr, $loc, $radio, "<a href=\"../../user/view.php?id={$aSlot->teacherid}&course={$scheduler->course}\">".fullname($teacher).'</a>', $aSlot->groupsession);

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have no idea if I did that right, but it works well enough. It's at least a start!

I didn't have time to figure out how to add the column to teacher's view because it wasn't as high of a priority and it also looked a lot more complicated. If I remember correctly, there was no $aSlot array created for the teacherview.php with which I could easily extract the aSlot->id from to plug into the scheduler_get_slot_location() function.

It would be very nice if this could also be done, though!

There's a screenshot of what the new table looks like in this forum discussion: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=195093&parent=850046
