  2. Hi! Would you please consider adding an option on the Booking Form calendar to show a shortcode value when hovering over a pending or approved booking? In use case terms: As a prospective booker, I want to be able to hover my cursor over a calendar day that is already booked and see who has made that booking (where "see who" can be generalized to be "a predefined shortcode value"). This is similar to the hoverover on the Timeline view, but would be available to any user of the system on the booking calendar.

    This is actually very similar to Comment-7268, but that is 10 years old.

    • Hello.

      We have developed new plugin - “Email Reminders”, which have similar functionality and native integration with latest versions of Booking Calendar plugin.

      Please check more here https://oplugins.com/plugins/email-reminders/

      You can try it. But currently we do not provide support or help with configuration with this plugin. Because of too much work and support with Booking Calendar plugin.
      Thank you for understanding.
      Kind Regards.

  4. Hello,

    I am currently setting up a booking system for kids to visit santa! Each child ticket is £15 and each adults ticket is £5, currently the price is being calculated per date not per ticket. Please can you let me know how to fix this?

    Thanks,

  5. I'm trying to put costs into specific dates. However, because each cost has priority given to the lowest ID number, it prevents me from adding conditional seasons without having the lower ID number take precedent.

    The fix is simple. Give us a feature to be able to sort the ID numbers. That way, we can set priorities without going in and deleting the previous seasonal filter and adding it again later.

    For example, our weekend rate is $250, but I want to set a different price for a holiday weekend, specifically Christmas. Since that date falls on a weekend, the price defaults to $250, but I need the Christmas date filter to override the weekend price. The Christmas filter is ID 5, but the weekend filter (which was created first) is ID 1. I need to be able to sort ID 5 above ID 1 in order to give it priority.

    Hopefully this makes sense.

  6. Hello,

    I am having some issues with setting availability/ capacity, please can you help me?
    I am making a booking system for tickets, there are 8 child tickets available per 11 timeslots per day and 16 adult tickets.
    I have set 8 resources as ticket
    11 Time slots
    8 Child tickets in advanced costs
    16 adult tickets in advanced costs

    If 8 tickets have been booked in one day it is saying the availability is 0.

    How can I fix this so that there are 8 child tickets per timeslot per day?

    Would I need to add 264 resources or would that let a customer book 264 tickets for one timeslot?

    Thank you

    • Hello.

      Unfortunately, if you need to make the several specific number of bookings per the same time slot at the same date in SAME CALENDAR, it is NOT possible in any versions of Booking Calendar. Sorry.

      It’s will be possible in the next major update of Booking Calendar.

      Please check my suggestion below about current version.

      A) The ability to book for the specific times only possible in the Booking Calendar Business Small / Business Medium versions (and in higher versions for booking resources with capacity =1). Please note if you will make the booking for the specific time slot, this time slot becomes unavailable for the other visitors for that selected date in the current specific calendar.

      In lower versions of Booking Calendar it is possible to make bookings only for restricted timeslots.

      You can configure the time slots selections on the Booking > Settings > Form page. Please use the "shortcode generator" on the right side of that page for the correct generation of the shortcode.

      You can use one"timerange" (timeslots) or "start time" and"end time" selections or"starttime" and "duration"of time selections shortcodes or even start time and end time entering shortcodes. Please read more about the booking form fields configuration here http://wpbookingcalendar.com/help/booking-form-fields/

      You can test the bookings for the specific time-slots in action on the live demo of Business Small version (which is configured by default for the bookings of specific time-slots) here: http://bs.wpbookingcalendar.com/ Other live demo you will need to reconfigure.

      B) If you need to make the specific number of bookings per day, then you need to check the Booking Calendar Business Large version, where it is possible to make several reservations per specific FULL date(s) by visitors (not time slots). Please read more about it here http://wpbookingcalendar.com/overview/#capacity

      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 than 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 the DB, but do not play any logic in reservation). Please read more info about the booking resources and how to configure them here http://wpbookingcalendar.com/help/booking-resource/

      We highly recommend to check this article about different configuration of capacity and availability http://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/capacity-concept/

      _____________________________________________

      Suggestion! I can suggest that you can create the booking resource with specific capacity in the Booking Calendar Business Large version for each of your times and then have the independent calendar for each of your time slots for the reservation. It means that your visitors firstly need to select the times in the select box, where all your options will be listed.

      And only after that select the date and fill the booking form. It can look like this: http://bm.wpbookingcalendar.com/select-resource-2/

  7. Google reCAPTCHA integration would be nice instead of the built-in CAPTCHA functionality, especially v3. I see both CAPTCHA's on this Ideas form. 🙂

      • I second the notion that external captcha support would be appreciated. In my case I would prefer hCaptcha but reCAPTCHA would be fine as well.

  8. Change overdays, should be in first paid version, i am not a business, i rent my holiday home, and have only 1
    Except for change overdays your free version is more than enough for my use.
    so i want to pay for changeoverdays, but just the cheapest version, in the Buy Now situation.

    Reply ↓

  9. please add changeoer days to cheapest version after FREE
    i have one holidayhome to rent out, and where departure is at 10:00, arrival at 15:00
    it's too expensive to have small business options, and too many options for this small use.
    free versions is oke except for changeoverdays

    • Hello Alex.
      The change over days will not work without range dates selection mode with minimum 2 dates selection mode. This feature also available in the Booking Calendar Business Small or higher versions.
      Unfortunately it’s does not possible to transfer in actual Booking Calendar versions specific features from to another version.

      Please send your request to support @ wpbookingcalendar.com we can provide for you additional discount.

      Thank you.

  10. Hi, would you consider linking the booking forms to logged in users so a use can access all of their bookings without the need for their emails to find links to each booking?
