Ideas

Please, feel free to propose new ideas or new features, which you desire to see in future releases of Booking Calendar Plugin.

  1. Hey there,
     
    Ok, so we have purchased the Hotel Edition.  Here is the scenario:
    https://www.fosterscarpetcare.com/email-contact-form/
     
    They are a carpet cleaning company who uses this so to schedule appts.  They need to be able to allow their customers to add more than One Unit/Room add at time.  Example would be an apartment complex.  They would want to schedule for multiple apartments at once. (Say Units #123, #215, #325).  Is this possible?
     
    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

    • Hello.
      At the Booking Calendar Hotel Edition version, is possible to make several reservations per specific FULL date(s) by visitors (not time slots). At this version is possible to set capacity of the booking resource, so date(s) in calendar will be available until number of reservations is less then capacity of the booking resource.But in this version is possible to make reservation only for FULL date, not a time slots (time slots in this version only record data in DB, but not play any logic in reservation).

      So, if you want to use the time slots for the reservation for the same date with some capacity. You are need to create the "parent" booking resources (with some capacity) for the each time slots. So its mean that you will have as many parent resources as many time slots. To be able to select this timeslot in the same page and do not have this booking forms in the separate pages, please check this tutorial for the booking resources selection using the selectbox.

  2. I have to say I've never had such a miserable time trying to customize a plugin. I paid $175 the least you could do is have good documentation (Technical support harldy helps), clean stylesheets (tons of styles not used), and to be honest the javascript is a mess. The system itself works well, but cmon how could it be this hard to customize a template?
    My suggestion: Let a front-end dev do you templates...

  3. Good afternoon! Very good plug-in! Some questions:1. Whether there is a private office of the user where it can cancel the order and see all orders? And if isn’t present, whether that probably to connect with what or other plug-in? 2. It would be not bad, if you realized capacity of booking for a certain time in the multiuser version. 3. Payment on credit cards?

  4. Hi,
    I would like to have availability and schedule for several individuals.
    Also would like to give customers choice to pick any individual according to availability.
    Is that possible with basic free version?
    Thanks

    • Hello.
      Sorry, it's not possible at the free verion.
      It's will be availbale at the new updated paid version, after new release.
      Kind regards.

  5. Plugin looks good, I plan on holding out for the Pro version on my given timeline. Thought I would make a suggestion for the upcoming version since I don't think it is available yet: There should be a login interface in the more professional versions (like multisite) for the customers. Like a "My Reservations" type interface. If a person books three different services, for different times over the next year, they should be able to have an interface to see everything (I am sure you could think of plenty of features to go with that..). 

  6. Hi,

    I am very interested in using your calendar system to allow our part-time workers to go online and schedule in their availability, we would then use this information to populate projects with staff and e-mail them back confirmation of the booked days.  We currently have 400 part-time interviewers but only space for a maximum of 100, so I would like to allow 150 to give their availability and then we can allocate the required 100.  I hope this is something you can help with and I look forward to hearing from you.  Thanks.

    • Hello.
      The possibility to book specific space at the day is available at the Booking Calendar Hotel Edition version, where is possible to make several reservations per specific FULL date(s) by visitors (not time slots). At this version is possible to set capacity of the booking resource, so date(s) in calendar will be available until number of reservations is less then capacity of the booking resource. But in this version is possible to make reservation only for FULL date, not a time slots (time slots in this version only record data in DB, but not play any logic in reservation. It's mean that it's not possible to make the several bookings for the specific time. Sorry.

      You can test Booking Calendar live demo at this page https://onlinebookingcalendar.com/demo/ to be sure in functionality and do not have misunderstanding.

  7. Hi, I would love to see this booking system have integration within Buddy press as a tab on the profile pages of each member. there is no other plugin like this and would be highly sought after. 

    • Right now its works with buddy press, but the booking panel is inside of the wordpress admin menu page. The showing booking admin panel at the profile pages of members, will be available in some future updates.

      • Thanks for letting me know, can you please let me know when the buddy press profile integration happens? I would buy this plugin in a heartbeat when that happens!!

        • Hello,
          right now I can not say the exact date of that update, but I hope that its will be ASAP.

          • Thanks for that, is there anyway that you can send me an update through email when this buddypress integration on profiles occurs?
            I've provided my email when i left this comment.

            Cheers.

            • Hello,
              please just send the request to this email info @ onlinebookingcalendar.com, when you will get the support of the buddypress in the changelog.

  8. I saw some other people mention about having a frontend user interface (one with the buddypress profile). My thought, hoping it turns true cause I am buying the multisite soon haha, would be to have a frontend interface that you can embed with a shortcode. I use S2 Member and their profile edit works this way, and so does the Cartpauj and User Messages messaging programs, and they really work well. A simple interface that just displays "pending reservations" and "approved reservations" on the frontend would more than double the value to me. Plus that way with the more advanced Booking Calendar ones with the option to pay the deposit then a user could later pay the full amount by going to there "My Reservations" area. My clients ask about that stuff a lot. 

  9. Hi,
    I created post resources.but the search result not taking post resoures to display.Help me how to add resources in backend.
    Thanks,

    • Hello,
      please recheck that you are inserted the booking forms for the different booking resources (which you can create at the Booking > Resource page) into the different posts or pages (other custom post types are not supported at the version 3.0). The booking resources, which you are inserted, have to be of your "parent" (resource with some capacity) or "single" resources (if you are insert the child resources, so then its will not be displayed in search results. ).
      Then after this, please open the Booking > Settings > Search page and click on "Clear cache" button, you have to see the number of found pages with booking forms.
      After this please test it.
