Requirements

Introduction

BAT for Drupal uses four components that are all required to get the full range of functionality.

1. The BAT PHP Library - this provides the core booking functionality. The best way to install and manage it on your Drupal site is through Composer and Composer Manager for Drupal
2. The BAT module is a wrapper around the library providing Entity, Views, Rules and Event Management via calendars.
3. The BAT API module provides REST access to event data and event manipulation. It powers functionality, such as, the dragging and dropping of events on the calendar UI.
4. The FullCalendar jQuery library as a UI to events.

3. Timepicker - This is not a strict requirement - it simply makes the creation of hour-based events easier.

Drush-based Setup

8.x

7.x

If you are familiar with Drush and Drush make, then you can use the project.make file in the BAT module repository to get all the modules required (in versions we have tested BAT with) and the FullCalendar Library. From your Drupal root directory run:

drush make --no-core sites/all/modules/bat/test/project.make

If you are familiar with Drush and Drush make, then you can use the bat.make file in the BAT module repository to get all the modules required (in versions we have tested BAT with) and the FullCalendar Library. From your Drupal root directory run:

drush make --no-core sites/all/modules/bat/bat.make

Composer

8.x

7.x

When installing the BAT module via composer, the BAT library will automatically be installed.

You will need to install Composer if you don’t have that already (a great idea since it will be needed for Drupal 8).

Follow the instructions from the Composer Manager module to get set up.
