R.RBPro (Android)
	iRBPro (iPhone)
RBPro_bb (BlackBerry)

Note: This is a 'testing-the-waters' application. The initial release does not do a whole lot but I will add functionality if people request it.

To use iRBPro, RBPro_bb or R.RBPro you need 2 things.

1. The Native Application
- iRBPro (for iPhone) - the iPhone native application. (coming Feb 2010)
- RBPro_bb (for BlackBerry) - the BlackBerry native application (Free download)
- R.RBPro (for Android) - the Android native application (Now available, Free in Android Market)


2. plg_iRBPro - the Joomla plug-in that supplies web services that iRBPro, RBPro_bb and R.RBPro talk to.
(Free to registered users download here)


Additional information: You can use Google Calendar with RBPro and all bookings will be added to your Google Calendar. Then you can use Google Sync to sync your Google Calendar with your mobile device.
See http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html

Note: Changes made to a booking in Google Calendar will have no effect on bookings in RBPro.
See: 3rd party calendars and RBPro

Note 2: iRBPro is not compatible with JoomFish - the xmlrpc calls fail when JoomFish is installed.

Troubleshooting iRBPro/RBPro_bb to plg_iRBPro communications.

Setup the iRBPro plug-in

Install as any Joomla Plugin..




Now enable the plugin..





In order to use iRBPro you need to be a resource administrator.
Here we set the user 'xmlrpc_test' as a resource administrator. This is done in the resource setup screen.

Setup native app on your Phone



Install iRBPro from iTunes or RBPro_bb or R.RBPro from the above link.

Start iRBPro, RBPro_bb or R.RBPro and select 'Settings' ..




Enter your site URL..

 


Next you need to set the path to the /xmlrpc/ directory in Joomla. This is a built in part of Joomla.
If your Joomla instance is the top level of your doamin you need only put /xmlrpc/.
If your Joomla instance is in a subdirectory you will need to enter the subdirectory first.




Finally enter a Username and Password that iRBPro can use to login and retreive appointment booking information. This user must be a resource administrator or no appointment data will be returned.

If the user account is a resource administrator for multiple resources, there will be a screen shown where the user can choose which of the resources to get appointment information for.




That is all that is required in the setup area.

Testing iRBPro or RBPro-bb or R.RBPro


Select Most Recent Bookings




You will see the 5 most recently made bookings, for which you are resource administrator.
If you are resource administrator for more than one resource, you will see a screen that allows you to first choose which resource's bookings you want to look at.




The detail..




You can change status or payment status at the bottom.



You can email the customer, phone them or text them also.
