  1. When I select to show 12 months the calendar formats all of the months in a single row. I want it to show 2 months per row. I can't seem to find a way to change this in the settings and the style for the row width is inline so I cant change it in the CSS. Is there a way to make it so that I can show 12 months with only 2 months per row?

    Thank You,
    ~ Kirkland

    • Its CSS issue relative.

      For example, If you want to show months in 2 rows, maximum 2 months per row, so then you can make this customization:

      Please open this file: ../wp-content/plugins/booking/css/client.css

      at line 236

      find this code:
      .datepick-inline { margin-bottom: 10px; }

      and replace it to this:

      .datepick-inline { margin-bottom: 10px; width: 575px ! important; }

  3. Hi,

    still have the problem that I can't use several steps in reservation process... I followed all your advices (2 weeks ago), but it's still not working 🙁 Nothing happens when you click on "continue to step 2" or whatever text... Here's the link again... https://holidayformentera.com/wp/villa-dunas-buchung/
    Would be great if we could get this working... 😉 Got the hotel edition...
    My best, Sven

    • Solved the issue... Just found out that you may not use the "Enter" button on the keyboard when adding the script to the fields. It adds strange tags in the output 😉
      Now it's working perfectly 😉
      Thanks anyway... for this cool plugin...

  4. Hi there,
    i use Premium and now building an hotel site...what i want to do is
    1. let the client decide the arrival date by clicking on the calendar,and when he cliks it this date i want be shown on a text box just under the calendar
    2. the client to give me the days he wants to stay on a hotel using a text box (not by clicking on the calendar). To be more specific he selects the arrival day form the calendar then he writes on a text box under the calendar 3 days.
    3. option as a combo box of the types of rooms with prices
    my main problem is that i don't know what code i have to write so the plugin will use the correct parameters (days stayin, type of room etc) sry if those are some easy functions but can u give me some short code that does this???or any other help...

    thx in advance

    • Hello Fter.
      1) right now is possible to select the dates only inside of the calendar.
      It's not possible at current version to select firstly the arrival date and them number of nights. So visitor can select all dates inside of the online calendar only at current version yet. At the Premium and higher versions you can define at the general booking settings page the using of "range days selection" option. So your visitor will select only check in and check out dates, all middle dates will be selected automatically.
      2) please check point #1
      3) you can check this FAQ instruction: https://onlinebookingcalendar.com/faq/selection-of-booking-resources-using-select-box
      For have posibility to select the booking resourse (room) inside of the booking form.

      • thx for your fast reply, i know that it's not implemented thow can u tell me in which variables the plugin keeps the number of days tha someone want to stay?and the arrival day??i ll try injecting some code on my own if i can...:-)

        • Hello again,
          its not so easy at first view. I can make some suggestions, how todo that, but you need to be familiar with JavaScript.
          So, inside of the each booking form is exist the hided textarea, which is submit data about dates to the BD. Its look like this:
          <textarea style="display: none;" name="date_booking2" id="date_booking2" cols="50" rows="3"></textarea>
          Where date_booking2, the 2 - its ID of the booking resource.
          The dates inside of this text area is saved in this format: 20.12.2011, 21.12.2011, 22.12.2011

          So you need to have inside of the calendar the single days selection. Uncheck the multiple days selection option at the general booking settings page.
          So you will have inside of that text area always only one date.
          Then you need to have some selectbox with days selection. And you need to create the new JavaScript which will generate all other dates inside of the text area based on the exist selected check in date and number of selected dates.

          I will add this feature to todo list to have it at some future updates. So if you will not be able to create that script you are need to wait for that update.
          Regards.

            • Hello,
              for example at the standard wordpress theme "Twenty Eleven" you can open the file content-page.php
              find this code:
              <div class="entry-content"> <?php the_content(); ?> <?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link"><span>' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyeleven' ) . '</span>', 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?> </div><!-- .entry-content -->
              and insert the code from the FAQ into section where is now "!!! HERE !!!"
              <div class="entry-content"> <strong>!!! HERE !!!</strong> <?php the_content(); ?> <?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link"><span>' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyeleven' ) . '</span>', 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?> </div><!-- .entry-content -->

  5. Hello,
    We have almost everything working, but for the costs is the confirmation mails to the clients as well as to the administrator. We added the costs the same way as every other field, but somehow it is not copying the total costs in the emails. This is the way we added it in SETTING, FiELDS at the bottom:

    Kosten voor deze periode [cost_hint]

    Please help us fix this.

    Marc

    • Hello Marc,
      you do not need to use the [cost_hint] shortcode at the bottom form at the Booking > Settings > Fields page.
      Instead of that, please use the [cost] shortcode directly inside of the email templates at the Booking > Settings > Emails page.

      • Thanks,

        We have changed it. Last question; we have some checkboxes in the form. But we cannot get them to work properly. In the emails there has to be a YES or a NO, but it isn't working. This is the way it is in FIELDS:

        Valet Parking:[Valet Parking]
        Overdekt parkeren:[Overdekt parkeren]
        Auto wassen:[Auto wassen]

        • Hello. 
          You are need to have at the bottom form only the name of the checkbox. Not the 2 words as at your example. 
          For example, of you have definition of checkbox at top form like this:
          [checkbox mycustomname ""]
          So then at the bottom form you are need to have the declaration like this:
          [mycustomname]

            • At the top form you can use something like this:
              <p>Children: [checkbox children ""]</p>
              And at the bottom like this:
              <strong>Children </strong>:<span class="fieldvalue"> [children]</span>

              Where children - its a name of your field.

  6. Hello, I am using standard version of booking calendar, i want to show this into the page content area. how can i do this?

    • Hello,
      you can check how to insert the booking form into the post or page here
      or if you want to insert the booking form directly inside of the PHP code, so then you are need to check info here

      • Thank you so much!!! 🙂
        Please also tell me how to change the Position of the calendar, I want the position of calendar after the details field.

        • Hello,
          you can change the position of the calendar in the booking form at the Booking > Settings > Fields page at top form,
          by replacing the [calendar] shortcode into the place, where you are need to show it.

  7. The booking form is here: palmbeachdogtraining.com/booking
    I need to be able to have variable times based on day. For example, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday need to have a 7-9 slot while the other days do not. Do you know of any way for me to program this?

    • Hello Eric,
      sorry, but right now this feature is not supports yet. Its will supported at the future updates, but right now is not.

  8. I still have an older version of the booking calendar premium 9.Premium.2.7. Do I have to purchase again to get the updates, if not, how do I update it?

  9. Hi there,
    we're using Premium Version and now we got a problem.
    Is it possible to fixed amounts for various days? For example: 1 day = 18 €, 2 days = 23 €, 3 days = 28 €, up to 21 days = 102 €.
    So there is a variable plus in % for each day e.g. +27%, +4%, and so on.
    If I see correctly I can only make special amounts with filters for 1 day and not for 2 days, 3 days, 4 days,...

    Thx a lot for reply

    • Hello,
      its possible at the Premium Plus and Hotel Edition version.
      You are need to open the Cost and availability settings page and for you booking resource click on the button "Cost for selected days" (this button is availbale only, if you are set the cost per day.)
      the you can configure the costs like in your descriptions there, like this:
      For 1 day = 18 EUR
      Together 2 days = 23 EUR
      ...
      Together 21 days = 102 Eur

  10. Is there a way to disable the ability for a user to click on dates on the calendar? Right now we just plan to enter booked dates from the admin side, and display the dates that are already booked. We don't want site users to be able to click on dates and highlight them., since they need to contact us to reserve dates.

    Thanks,
    Jim

    • Hello Jim,
      You can insert into the post only booking calendar not the booking form.
      So your visitors can see the availability but cannot make reservation in this way.

      • Thanks for the speedy reply. I double checked that, and do see that I am using [bookingcalendar nummonths=3] Here is a link to what I'm talking about: https://provencedreamhouse.com/rates-availability-contact/ When you click on a date that is not booked, it turns dark grey, and might confuse some who think that is creating a booking. Any suggestions on how to disable this?
        Thanks!

        • Hello,
          Ok I am understood, sorry, but inside of this calendar, the days are sill can be selected, but user of course can not make the reservation because there is not booking form. So you can just write some comments about this under the calendar.
          The possibility to block the selection of days inside of only calendar will be available at the future versions update of plugin.
