Ideas

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

  1. Can you please test this plugin with
    define('WP_DEBUG', true);
    in wp-config.php

    Your plugin generates a lot of notices. I suppose its fine for a normal user, but its impossible to develop a site while using this plugin because of all the messages that bombard the screen. You also use a lot of deprecated functions. The WordPress standards clearly say:

    "Themes must not generate any WordPress deprecated-function notices, PHP errors, warnings, or notices, HTML/CSS validation errors, or JavaScript errors."

    This plugin looks great for the site I'm building for a client right now, but using it would make developing the rest of the site a massive headache. So please, can you fix your errors?

     

    • Hello,
      these issues are fixed for the next update (have to come in middle of this month).
      According actual version 3.0, please check in the FAQ several points how to fix those messages.

  2. It would be nice to be able to edit the error messages. Most of them are not grammatically correct and are very hard to understand. While this can be done by editing the plugin files, it would be much better to be done in the settings to ensure upgrades do not over-ride changes.

  3. I am interesting with this booking system, unfortunately after go to admin demo, there is no Function to set/block the date availability. This called "Date Allotment".
    this feature must be available with in Hotel booking system. So we can block specific date in one season/period and per room basis. 
    Hope this feature can be added.

    • Hello.
      At the Premium Plus and Hotel Edition versions you ca define the specific days at the season filters (booking > settings > filters page) and then at the "cost and availability" settings page you can set those dates as available or unavailable for specific booking resource or set the higher or lower cost rates for these dates.

  4. Hi I will like to know if this calendar can be used in an auto business and if the plugin works on  mobile devices?

    • Hello,
      If you are need to make the bookings for the specific times, so then you are need to check the Business Small/Medium versions, where are possible to make bookings for the specific time. If you are need to have possibility to book sveral times for the same FULL date, so then you are need to check the Business Large, version , where is possible to set capcity for the booking resource. Please read more detail here: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/help/versions-overview/
      You can test Booking Calendar live demos at this page https://wpbookingcalendar.com/demo/ to be sure in functionality and do not have misunderstanding.
      Unfortunately, right now there is no some special applications for the mobile devices, the booking calendar booking form will be show at the mobile devices as a usual HTML page.

  5. For my uses this plugin is missing one very basic function, a red "X" over the dates that are not available so that customers can clearly see those dates are not available.  Flipkey, Agoda, and so on all have this function.  Is it possible to edit this in the CSS or somewhere else?  It should look like this...

    • Hello,
      right now the unavaibale dates are inactive in calendar (can not be selected) and can be marked in differend background color or have the different color of dates number.
      The feature of adding "X" symbol, we will add for the future versions.

      • I already found where to change the color of the unavailable dates but how do you change the background color for the unavailable date?

      • If anyone else is interested in a temporary fix for this do the following...
         
        Go to this file...  \wp-content\plugins\booking\include\skins\premium-marine.css  (or whatever skin you use)
         
        On line 203 change the code from this...
        background: transparent !important;
         
        to this...
        background: #ff0000 !important;
        This will create a red box that blocks out the date number so all you see is the red box indicating the date is not available.

  6. That will be a great point the sync with google calendar. We use the booking for therapie consultant. This option will be helpfull with the iphone calendar.

    Best regards, 

    • Any response on sync'ing with google calendar?  I love the booking plugin but my client uses google calendar to display other events and activities within their organization.  They want their bookings / reservations in their central google calendar.  Please.

      • Hello,
        sorry, its still in the development process yet. Hope this feature will be available asap.

  7. Hi,
    It would be very useful to visually see the Bookings-listing as a calendar (monthly, weekly, day), where you can choose the ressources to display (like iCal).
    We have bought the small-biz version in the goal to reserve and manage our rooms and buildings, and the booking-listings does not give you a big overview (calendar like). For our manager, she feels like having a messy list 😉

    Does it existe any way to to this ?
    We would really appreciate this nes feature.
    Thanks a lot et best regards

    • Hello.
      Unfortunately, right now the booking calendar have no such overview at the booking calendar since version 4.0, this overview was at the version 3.0 and older, but because of new interface at the version 4.0 and increase the performance in this version this overview was removed.

      But right now we are working to have such overview in the next update.
      It's will be fully redeveloped new way of showing bookings and booking resources.

      Instead of that right now the booking calendar at Version 4.0 have very flexible and powerful filter for showing of the bookings

  8. We would have been really interested in using this plugin but the client would really need to use sagepay - with all of the payment providers out there I would have liked the plugin to be slightly flexible for configuration for other payment options.

    • Hello.
      The Booking Calendar Business Small and higher versions are support the Sage pay payment system integration, also it's support Paypal and iPay88 payment systems integrations. Please try it at the live demo. You can configure the payment systems at the Booking Settings Payment page.

  9. I would like to be able to limit the number of times a coupon can be used. If it could only be used once would mean it can be used like voucher.
    Can this be done already?

    • Hello,
      sorry, right now the coupon code can have only the expiration date or minimum sum, where its can be applied.
      The limit for the number times a coupon can be used, right now is not supported yet.
      We will add it to todo list.
