I just purchased the booking calendar. I am trying to program the following function. 1) Select Service (by hour and 1 of 2), 2) See availability by day and time, 3) Select available time slot, 4) Have user select to make booking. 5) Make Payment.

I think there is a lot of coding to do. Not really sure. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

  Hello Patrick.
  1) You can configure the time slot selection at the top form at the Booking > Settings > Fields page.
  You can use this shortcode for the timeslot definition: [select rangetime "10:00 - 12:00" "12:00 - 14:00" "14:00 - 16:00" "16:00 - 18:00" "18:00 - 20:00" ]
  Please note, there is also other shortcodes for the time entering, please check them at the right side of page at help section.
  You can also need to unselect the "Multiple days selection" option at the general booking settings page to be able to select only single date in calendar at client side.
  2- 4) You can check how to insert the booking form into the posts or pages here: https://onlinebookingcalendar.com/faq/insert-booking-form
  So then you can make tests of making bookings (your steps: 2-4)

I have the standard booking calendar on my website. The calendar is on every page, including my booking page. The dates are soft. I would like my customer to have the ability to click on a date from any page (home, about us, services), and be directed to my booking page to complete their booking process. Please help!!!!!!!!!!

  Hello,
  At the current version is possible only to show the availability, if you show only single calendar. Under the calendar you can have link to the page with your booking form, so your visitors can click on that link and open the page with booking form for the finishing the reservation, but the visitors will need to select the dates for reservations on this page with booking form.

    What is the simplest way to add links to my pages?

      Hello,
      if you are insert the booking calendar into the post or page, so then you can just write and insert the link just under the booking calendar shortcode.
      If you are insert the calendar using the widget, so then you can write this link at the parameter of the widget.

  Hello Lynne,
  Probably one of these plugins is overwrite the standard WordPress edit bar or generate some JavaScript error at that page.
  So please deactivate one by one these plugins untill the button will start work, for finding which plugin is generate this conflict.
  After this insert to booking shortcode and publish the page. After this you can again activate that plugin, which was generated issue and you are described it.

Maybe this is really obvious and I've just missed it but how do I create multiple booking resources and edit their names. At the moment all I'm seeing is 'Apartment #1, Apartment #2' etc?
Thanks,
James

  Hello James,
  You can create and edit the booking resources at the Booking > Resource page.
  Kind regards.

I am considering Booking Calendar Premium, but I want to confirm that the payment system is compatible with my Authorize.net payment gateway.
- admin on 09/12/2011 at 14:34 said:
  
  Hello Andrew,
  unfortunately the Authorize.net payment gateway integrations is not supported yet at the exist 3.0 version. Its will be exist at the future updates.

I'm using the free version (3.0) but apparently the startmonth setting is not taken into account ...
For example, on my page I would like to display only a 3-month calendar for July/August/September 2012.
I'm therefore using [booking nummonths=3 startmonth='2012-07'] but the reservation dates which are shown start from current date Dec 9th 2011 and span until March 9th 2012 (not from July 1st 2012 as I would have expected). It seems that the startmonth setting is not taken into account. Am I doing something wrong ?

  Hello,
  please send the link to this page with booking form and screenshots of the general booking settings page and edit post content of the page, where you are inserted the booking shortcode to this email:
  info @ onlinebookingcalendar.com
  I will recheck it and then try to help you.
  Kind regards.

Hi,
I'm using the Hotel Edition and I've just noticed that the Resource Editor limits the Resource Name to 17 characters although there is no such limition in the "Add new Resource" form and also in the database.

The problem is, when you create a resource with a longer name, if you edit the name later, it will not let you go over 17 🙁

Can you point-me to the /admin location where I can change this ?

  Hello,
  This issue will be fixed in next update.
  
  Right now for fixing it, please open this file:
  
  ../booking/include/wpdev-pro.php
  
  find this line
  
  <input maxlength="17" type="text"
  
  and replace to this:
  
  <input maxlength="200" type="text"

Hi, I am using the free version - from your demo I understand you can accept PayPal payments with this version. I cannot find any documentation on how to do this. Can you help? Thanks!
- admin on 12/12/2011 at 09:44 said:
  
  Hello.
  The PayPal integration is exist at the Premium and higher versions of Booking Calendar.
  You can configure the PayPal form integrations at the Booking > Settings > Payment form.
  Regards.

Also, how can I set the phone number to be a required field? Thanks!
- admin on 12/12/2011 at 09:46 said:
  
  Its possible at the any paid version,
  You are need to open the Booking > Settings > Fields page and at the top form change this code:
  Phone: [text phone]
  to this:
  Phone: [text* phone]

Is it possible to show the visitors what hours have been booked on a given day instead of making them randomly guess or test various combinations of hours when they want to fill out start/end times?
- admin on 13/12/2011 at 10:26 said:
  
  Hello Matt,
  the reserved hours have to show at the popup tooltip over specific date, when you mouse over that specific date in the calendar.
