golf tee-times or alotted dates/times as products?

was trying to get the best title I could...

Anyway does anyone - or has anyone - or would anyone :D know of a way to allow you to have a product that you can then select the date/time you want to book it

Like golf tee time - they are every 5 mins and a pain to add in as attributes, plus they are only allowed to book 1 then its unavailable to others (so attributes not the best and products for each date time a nightmare!)

I have wanted to look at booking 30 mins or 2hour slots per day - again once booked not available for anyone else to book

I am pretty sure that its a calender type approach to it, which I know there isn't one for zen (as yet) but even so am having trouble thinking my head round teh best way to do it

Especially with Tee Times, as the product stays the same its just date/time that change

Does anyone have any ideas hints pointers, I would happily pay for a contrib BUT am wary paying for something without finding out first exactly what I want and get and would want something that has been tested testes too ;)

thanks

This sounds like it would be best implemented as a very specific product type, but I don't know of anybody who has built it or of a mod with similar functionality.

Sarah,

You might try this:

Top Category Years
SubCategory Months
SubCategory Days
Then slots available for purchase

Item for sale Slot 8am-8:30am 2007-June-6-8:30am
Item for sale Slot 8:30am-9:00am 2007-June-6-9:00am
etc.
etc.
July

etc.
2008

etc.

kurio - I didn't think so

Shrimp not a bad idea will give that a try and see how cumbersome it is! depends if they have 15 min tee time - there would be lots!!!

will post my solution - would have rathered a clander pick item but hey cannot have everything :)

thank you

sorry calender that shoud have said :)
