Hallo Yves,

ersteinmal ein frohes neues Jahr.

Jetzt meine Frage: Kann man eine bestehende Version ohne Probleme auf 2.2 Updaten?
Geht ja auch um die Optik?

LG
Sascha

Hi Sascha,

please only english in this thread.

Yes it will be possible to update to 2.2 without problems, the graphical ui changes should not be so drastic as long as you stick with the "old" views.

Yves

Today?

I'm really looking forward, to all the improvements. CSV-layout, e-maail lay-out. excellent.

Maybe, depends on how much time i'll have today (polishing, translating, some documentations so you are not completely lost) - got most of the todo-list done (some small things are missing - around 80% is done - all you are mentioning is ready), enough for a first development release.

Yves

Small status update: The integration of the changes and new features is around 85 % done, a first development release will come in the next couple of days. I am ill at the moment (just a cold..), so i have not a 100% fixed date for you. I am going to post some screenshots and more informations too.

Yves

I like it! Looking good!

Some more new screenshots (All taken with default Joomla 2.5 template):

Eventlist:

docs.google.com/file/d/0B8fSCgI7Xbe8YU02RGZEQWpURzA/edit (Guest)
docs.google.com/file/d/0B8fSCgI7Xbe8N1ByTGpIaDc4Sk0/edit (as Organiser)

My Bookings:

docs.google.com/file/d/0B8fSCgI7Xbe8T1U3eXZkMnJDMWs/edit

My Offers:

docs.google.com/file/d/0B8fSCgI7Xbe8eWtFdnprNE9KVEU/edit

As you can see these three are now displayed in three tabs! (No single sites for each tab anymore)

Booking confirmations:

docs.google.com/file/d/0B8fSCgI7Xbe8bWYxdEdtUDBpLWM/edit

Many updates & improvments in the new booking form, e.g. the confirmation now contains the payment informations and the calculated total amount (Matukio now complies with the new german laws), JavaScript AGB checked validation, E-Mail validation and much more.

First development release is still right on schedule - should be out this week!

Yves

Hi,
we need the version 2.2 for our site. SInce we are planning the rollout at the moment, we need to have an idea about the release date of the Matukio 2.2 version. Optimal for us would be the 11.Mar

What will be the release date?

Hi Juergen,

depends on how much time we need to get it stable and tested. All the more feedback we get from the current development version the more faster it will be

Up to some details the Matukio 2.2 development version (you can download it in the developer area) is already feature complete.

Best regards,

Yves

Hi,

the comment field is not submitted at the moment. Will this fixed in the new version?

Thank you

Hi Markus,

strange, which comment field do you mean? And where does it not show up

Thanks for your feedback!

Yves

Hi Yves,

when I use the booking form, then the customer can make in the 2nd step a comment that is not submitted at the moment

Hello Yves,
i get an error after installation:

"Incorrect version sequence. Cannot upgrade 2.1.10 to git_8bca0b0"
Komponenteninstallation: Fehler in benutzerdefinierter Installationsroutine

How can i install the beta-version on my testmachine?
thanks a lot.
michael

Hey Michael,
If it is a test machine -> then uninstall version 2.1.10 that you currently have and then install the dev. version.

Regards,
Daniel

Hi Yves,

is it possible in Matukio 2.2 to use the Additional Bokking Fields in the EMail Template?

If yes, how does it work?

Thanks and Regards
Joachim

Hi Joachim,

aye that is possible, you just type MAT_BOOKING_YOURBOOKINGFIELDNAME in the editor and is going to be replaced through the bookings value, for example MAT_BOOKING_EMAIL is replaced through the bookings E-Mail address.

You could also use MAT_BOOKING_ALL_DETAILS_HTML which renders a nice HTML Table with all inserted values of the booking.

Best regards,

Yves

Hi Yves,

sorry I didn't mean the General Booking Fields, I ment the Fields, whitch I can use in the event discription, like 'Eingabefeld 1, Eingabefeld 2,...".

I nead it, because I want to send every field, seperated with an Semikolon, to copy all Bookingdatas by drag&drop in my Excel-Lists.

Best Regards
Joachim

Hi Joachim,

not 100% sure what you mean (you can write in German too, but please make a different thread). For Excel-Lists we also have a nice CSV export function

Best regards,

Yves
