Hello,

First of all, a million thanks to @alextselegidis for making this booking app available as open source. At Linnaeus University we have adapted it for use by our text tutors (tutoring students in academic writing, study skills, presentation skills etc.)

We have made quite a lot of adaptations in our fork of easyappointments, so in the spirit of giving back to the community we're passing on information about our changes. Here's what we have done so far:

Improvements to custom fields (configurable number of fields, appointment-specific custom fields, translation support, support for different input types, drop down menus, etc.)
Support for attached files (configurable number of files, extensions/mime types, file sizes)
Hide provider selection in booking (+ new provider selection algorithm)

There's a few other smaller improvements coming up, but these three we have published and documented a bit better so far. You can find git commits for these changes in our fork of easyappointments here:

(scroll down on the page for the README file with the documentation)

Alex, feel free to use this code if you want to add these adaptations to the official easyappointments codebase. Let me know if you'd like me to make pull requests for these.

Kind regards,

Tom Ekström
