Ideas

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

  1. Hi,
    Would you consider enabling an option to split days in half for your bookings? And by using CTRL key from one date to the next, having all dates selected in one go?
    Thanks,
    Antoine

    • Hello.
      In the versions 4.1 or newer updates similar features are available at Business Small and higher versions.
      1) For activating the half booking dates, please open the General Booking Settings page and configure this option "Use check in/out time"
      2) At the General Booking Settings page you can set the "Type of days selection" as "Range days" and then activate the "DYNAMIC range of days selection with 2 mouse clicks"

      • So if I want half day displayed on the Calendar, I need Business Small; on the demo it seems it happens in two steps: first select dates, then select hours? Or it can be configured to confirm booking in one step?
        Also, in the email tab, it's possible to add a complete html, right?
        Thanks for your answer and this great plugin.

        • Hello.
          1) The Business Small demo is just do not configured for that feature (you are need to configure it at the General Booking Settings page), but at the Business Medium live demo this feature is configured. So you can test it at the live demo of Business Medium version here: https://bm.wpbookingcalendar.com/
          2) Yes, its possible to use the HTML in the email templates at the Booking > Settings > Emails page.

  2. Please add the payment gateway "Payfast.co.za"I have already used this plugin extensively and will be able to use it with many clients if you could include that payment gateway that can process South African Rands (ZAR). I cannot tell you how helpfull this will be. thanks

  3. I would like an availability calendar with the ability to aggregate availability into a single calendar. aggregate_availability='1;2' would show the date as available if either resource is available.

    • Hello.
      Its already exist. Please check info here https://wpbookingcalendar.com/help/booking-calendar-shortcodes/
      But the new Booking will be for the booking resource, which you are set for the parameter "type" .

      You can also be interesting in checking the Booking Calendar Business Large 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). Please read more info about the booking resources and how to configure them here https://wpbookingcalendar.com/help/booking-resource/

      You can test Booking Calendar live demo of that version at this page https://wpbookingcalendar.com/demo/

  4. Is there a feature for an ics or ical feed? Because I have my property listed on rental sites that "reads" ical feeds to sync the calendars.

    • Asking for this feature from last year... 🙂 i would know why there is no export/import feature for sowtware called booking calendar. With export/import we could use this soft as base booking website for many resources and exchange data with them. For now we need to update property availability on many other listing websites manually... This is strange 🙂

      • Hello.
        This feature was not implemented yet, because in the previous updates was implemented many other futures, what was asking by many other users.
        But this feature is still have high priority in our todo list and we will implement it. Just do not have the enough time for the all futures at one time.
        Thank you for understanding.

  5. The module seems great, but there's not a place where a manager could see instantly rooms availability.
    It will need a matrix booking calendar view, with rooms on rows and time (week,month) on columns.
    If you realize it, I will buy your module 🙂

    • Hello.
      Some similar view is already exist at the Booking Calendar.
      You can open this type of view by clicking on the calendar icon at the top left side of Booking Listing page.
      But please note the booking resources (rooms) are not listed in the left side rows, yet. It's will be available in the next update. Please check it at the live demo.

  6. Dear Team,
    There is more than 2 years that I wait for the ical/ics sync. I see that a lot of user request the same functionality. For us job is very a problem because we have a lot of risk to book two patient at the same times.
    Can you tell us a date that this module can be available. Your module is very excellent but this part is a penality.
    If you have no prevision we buy another plugin that offers the module.
     
    Best regards.

    • Hello.
      Sorry for such long time to wait for this feature. It's take so long time, because of implementation of other useful functionality.
      We are definitely will have this feature. And it's feature have the high priority. It's will be exist in the update 4.3 (as a part of Booking Calendar or as a part of Booking Manager plugin, which we are completely redeveloped right now). That update have to be available until end of this year, because the update 4.2 will come until end of summer.
      If we will have possibility to implement it faster, be sure we will do it.
      Thank you for using the Booking Calendar. The next updates will bring many new features and improvements.
      Kind regards.

      • Thanks for your reply. It's an excellent news that you have implemented them and that will be available at end of the years.
        We will wait until you publish the module. I hopes that this time we can fully develop our activity with your product.
        We are a therapist cabinets and need to synchronize the booking calendar with iPhone, smartphone and others  pad.

        • Hello.
          Its not implemented yet, but its have to be done until end of the year.
          Kind regards.

  7. Hi Guys
    Loving your Booking Calendar plugin...is there any progress towards making it responsive?
    Kind Regards
    Angela

    • Hello.
      Yes, it's already implemented into the development version.
      So responsive calendar skins will be available in next update.
      It's have to come until end of summer.

  8. My entire site is password protected for the five people who own a house together. I like the booking feature but I need a way for each person who logs in to see not only whether a particular day is booked, but who booked it. In other words, I'd love for each person to be able to enter their initials on a particular day or when they hover on a day that's booked, see the person's name who booked it. Is that doable now?

    • Hello.
      Its possible at the Booking Calendar Business Small and Business Medium versions, if the bookings will be making for the specific time slot.
      So in this versions you can make this trick (versions of update 5.0 or newer) to show that info in the mouse over tooltip.

      But please note this feature can impact to the performance, so we do not recommend to activate it.

      If you are still want to activate it,so please open this file: ../booking/wpdev-booking.php find this code:

      if (!defined('WP_BK_SHOW_INFO_IN_FORM'))    define('WP_BK_SHOW_INFO_IN_FORM',  false );                 // This feature can impact to the performace

      and replace to this code:

      if (!defined('WP_BK_SHOW_INFO_IN_FORM'))    define('WP_BK_SHOW_INFO_IN_FORM',  true);                 // This feature can impact to the performace
    • THank you. So if I can try your suggestion, and if it impacts performance, can I uninstall the whole calendar from WordPress with no negative consequences? I have to find a calendar that others can see the names of who booked a particular day(s).

      • Hello.
        Yes, sure you can deactivate that feature again or just un-install it.
        kind regards.

    • Hello.
      Unfortunately, the actual version of the Booking Calendar is support only in-line calendar for the selections of the days to book.
      The feature of selections days using the check in and check out fields only will be available in the some future updates.

      By the way, the search availability form is using the check in/out fields for the searching availability in booking resources, and in the specific booking form (after search) those days will be selected automatically. You can test it at the live demos of Booking Calendar Business Large and MultiUser versions.

      Also in the Booking Calendar Business Small and higher versions you can activate the range days selection mode, so your visitor can select only check in and check out days in the inline calendar, and all middle days will be selected automatically. You can test it at the live demo of Booking Calendar Business Medium version.

  9. Is it possible to show the cost for a particular resource through short code or php in a template. 
     
    I want to find the booking resource dynamically based on the page ID.
    I think that it is important to be able to link pages and properties/booking resources together.
