  3. Is there a way to display the last name instead of the first name on the booking on the back-end calendar?

    • Hello.
      If you asking how to define this booking data in the booking pipeline in the Calendar Overview page in admin panel, so then you can define it at the Booking > Settings General page in Timeline section for the option: “Booking title (admin panel)” like this: [secondname]

  4. Hello

    I'm trying to use custom form for a resource, but I get two calendars on my page. Seems like the shortcode booking type=6 is automatically putting a calendar on the page, and then the shortcode's form_type='vaelluskurssi' with its [calendar id=6] in the form fields is trying to put the calendar I want on the page again.

    I want the tos checkbox before the calendar, and it works with my standard form.

    Here are my shortcodes and screenshots of how it looks on my pages, and also screenshots of my form fields for standard and custom.

    This works: Booking with standard form
    Shortcode on page: [booking type=1]
    Screenshot of the page: https://finnishfriend.com/temp/booking-standard.jpg
    Screenshot of form fields: https://finnishfriend.com/temp/booking-standard-settings.jpg

    This doesn't work: Booking with custom form
    Shortcode on page: [booking type=6 form_type='vaelluskurssi']
    Screenshot of the page: https://finnishfriend.com/temp/booking-custom.jpg
    Screenshot of form fields: https://finnishfriend.com/temp/booking-custom-settings.jpg

    I have set the default form accordingly in resources.

    Any way to fix this?

    • Hello.
      Please open the Booking > Settings > Form page and In your custom form replace [calendar id=6] to this shortcode [calendar]

      ID of your booking resource you are defined in the Booking Calendar shortcode in the content of the page and not at the Booking > Settings > Form page.

      Kind Regards.

      • Thank you once again! Quick and easy fix, like I've always gotten from you.

    • Hello.

      Unfortunately, Booking Calendar does not support the direct credit card payments. Sorry.

      You can use Stripe, that is support direct cards payments.

      The Business Small and higher versions of the Booking Calendar is support Stripe, PayPal (Standard and PayPal Pro Hosted Solution (please note, PayPal PayPal Pro Hosted Solution its does not the same as PayPal Pro)), Authorize.Net, Sage Pay, iDEAL via Sisow and iPay88 payment gateways integration (also plugin support showing text info for payment by cash and bank transfer - its only show text info but does not connect to any bank system), other payment systems are not supporting yet. You can configure and activate it at the Booking > Settings > Payment page.

      Please watch more in this video: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/help/booking-calendar-video-payments/

      Kind Regards.

  6. Hi again

    I've tried my best for many hours, but I just can't get the aggregate or capacity to work how I want to. I have business large version of the plugin.

    I'm a one man business with different services (resources), so if somebody makes a booking (day) for one resource, I want that day to be unavailable on all calendars/resources.

    I have one single resource and another one with capacity of 4 (parent + 3 child resources). Screenshot of the resources: https://finnishfriend.com/temp/booking-aggregate-resources.jpg

    On resource 1's shortcode I have: [booking type=1 aggregate='6;7;8;9']. This works, if there's a booking on the 6/7/8/9 parent/child resource, the day is not available on id 1's calendar.

    On the 6/7/8/9 parent/child resources shortcode I have: [booking type=6 form_type='vaelluskurssi' aggregate='1' ]. Days booked on resource 1 are still available here, as if the aggregate doesn't work.

    I've tried to use the setting "Set capacity based on number of visitors" and follow your FAQ, but I couldn't make it work. I tried to put hidden visitors field on resource 1's form to fill the 6/7/8/9 capacity, but couldn't get it to work.

    Help, please?

    • Hello.
      The aggregate feature is only working with single booking resources (where capacity = 1).
      Why you need to use booking resources with specific capacity if you are only the person who made the service for these resources ?
      Probability you need to use booking resources with capacity =1 and it’s means possible to use aggregate parameter in the Booking Calendar shortcodes.
      Kind Regards.

      • My single resource 1 is for one person to book the whole day. The other resource 6/7/8/9 is for max 4 different people to book place on the same service.

          • Ok, aggregate won't work.

            I have custom forms for these two different services.

            Form 1 is working, one person can make a booking for a whole day.

            Form 2 I'm setting up now: Max four different people can make a booking for a specific day, using the same booking form, then that day is full (not available). So four people can book the same resource for that specific day. This is not using the number of visitors chosen on a form, one person can only book one slot from the four available.

            This is my problem now:

            If somebody has booked a day using form 1, I want that day to be unavailable also on form 2, and if at least one person has made a booking on form 2, I want that day to unavailable also on form 1, but the other three available resources/slots are still available on form 2.

            The forms work, but I can't get the form 1 bookings to make the same days unavailable on form 2.

            • Hello.
              Yes, I have understood about your issue.

              1) But the problems, that system can NOT apply the "aggregate" parameter to the booking resource, that have capacity higher than 1.
              This aggregate parameter can apply only to the single booking resources (capacity = 1).

              2) You can use instead of "parent booking resource" with specific capacity the selectbox of selection several single booking resources and then using aggregate parameter.
              Its means that you need to define booking resources: 6,7,8,9 as single booking resources at the Booking > Resources page
              and then use this shortcode:

              [bookingselect type='6,7,8,9' selected_type='6' first_option_title='' label='' aggregate='1']

              and at other page use your previous shortcode:
              [booking type=1 aggregate='6;7;8;9']

              Kind Regards.

              • Ok, I got it now. But I don't want the customer to have to choose from the different resources when they are the same thing in their eyes.

                I'll handle the situations manually, if they arise.

                Thanks for your help anyway!

  7. Hi there,

    Does the premium version have full access to all styling capabilities? I'm finding it impossible to style the wpbc_booked_times_word block (found when hovering over a date where appointments have already been made). It isn't coded in a way that can be inspected with browser developer tools.

    • Hello.
      You can make this temporary fix for showing popover more time (when mouse over specific date in inline month view calendar):
      Please open this file ../wp-content/plugins/{Booking Calendar Folder}/js/wpbc_times.js

      ( you can check how to edit files in WordPress menu in this article https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/how-edit-file-in-wp-menu/ )

      then find this code:

      jQuery( "#calendar_booking" + resource_id + tooltip_day_class_4_show ).popover( { placement: 'top auto' , trigger : 'hover' , delay : {show: 500, hide: 1} , content : '' , template : '<div class="popover popover_calendar_hover" role="tooltip"><div class="arrow"></div><h3 class="popover-title"></h3><div class="popover-content"></div></div>' , container: '#calendar_booking' + resource_id , html : 'true' } );

      and replace it to this code:

      jQuery( "#calendar_booking" + resource_id + tooltip_day_class_4_show ).popover( { placement: 'top auto' , trigger : 'hover' , delay : {show: 500, hide: 100000000} , content : '' , template : '<div class="popover popover_calendar_hover" role="tooltip"><div class="arrow"></div><h3 class="popover-title"></h3><div class="popover-content"></div></div>' , container: '#calendar_booking' + resource_id , html : 'true' } );

      Please do not forget to clear browser cache before testing these changes.

      Disclaimer. Unfortunately we can not start, right now, some personal customization or custom development, because almost have no free time.
      Check more about new features here https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/need-new-feature/
      Thank you for understanding.
      Please note, if you will modify the source code of the Booking Calendar, we will not guaranteed the correct work of plugin and do not support it.

  8. My discount coupon sort of works and doesn't at the same time. I want a coupon that makes the booking free, and can be used only one time.

    I have made a coupon with 100 % discount in the resources/coupons. The coupon has maximum number of usage = 1.

    In my form fields I have code: [coupon giftcode]

    When I make a booking with the coupon code, it works and the cost is 0.

    Problems:

    I can use the same code many times, it's unlimited.

    I can write anything to the coupon field in the booking form on my page, and the booking is succesful. Is there is no check whether the code exists? Only the real coupon code has effect.

    • Hello.
      Of course it have to work only once and with real coupon code.

      Did you defined some cost for the booking resource at the Booking > Resources page ? So if you do not use coupon code than you will have cost higher than 0?

      Can you send screenshots of Booking > Resources page and Booking > Resources > Coupons page ? And send the link to your page with booking form, where you are having the issue.
      Please send all this to support @ wpbookingcalendar.com
      Kind Regards.

      • I emailed the information you asked for.

        Yes, I have defined a cost for the resource. If I don't use coupon, the cost is what I have defined for the resource.

  9. Hi,

    I have some questions about the booking calendar.
    1. How can I center the calendar? He has left always a greater distance than the right.
    2. Is there a way to use two list of periods in a calendar? Since I offer two different types of time blocks (always 4h or 10h).
    Have it currently flooded with two selection lists.
    But it would be great if the selected time after confirmation automatically entered in the calendar and I would not do it manually afterwards. How do I solve this?
    3. Partial bookings are not displayed. Why? Do I have to activate the ad somewhere?
    4. How can I create individual items and deposit them with prices.
    5. How can the total price of a booking be displayed before payment?

    details:
    WordPress version 5.2.4,
    PHP 7.3.3,
    Booking Calendar - Booking Calendar Business Small
    WordPress theme Avada 6.1.1.

    Many thanks for your help.

    Ciao Marko

    • Hello.
      1) Relative venerating calendar and form.

      Please open the Booking > Settings > Form page and configure booking form similar to this:

      <div class="wpbc_booking_form_structure wpbc_form_center"> <div class="wpbc_structure_calendar"> [calendar] </div> <div class="wpbc_structure_form"> <p>First Name*:<br />[text* name]</p> <p>Last Name*:<br />[text* secondname]</p> <p>Email*:<br />[email* email]</p> <p>Phone:<br />[text phone]</p> <p>Details:<br />[textarea details]</p> <p>Time Slots*:<br />[select* rangetime "4:00 PM - 5:00 PM@@16:00 - 17:00" "5:00 PM - 6:00 PM@@17:00 - 18:00" "6:00 PM - 7:00 PM@@18:00 - 19:00" "10:00 AM - 11:00 AM@@10:00 - 11:00"]</p> <p>[captcha]</p> <p>[submit class:btn "Send"]</p> </div> </div> <div class="wpbc_booking_form_footer"></div>

      The trick here to have configuration of your booking form inside of this div element:
      <div class="wpbc_booking_form_structure wpbc_form_center"> ... <div/>

      2) You can to use start time and duration of time fields for such times selection.

      For example:
      <p>Start time: [select starttime "08:00" "08:30" "09:00" "09:30" "10:00" "10:30" "11:00" "11:30" "12:00" "12:30" "13:00" "13:30" "14:00" "14:30" "15:00" "15:30" "16:00" "16:30" "17:00" "17:30" "18:00" "18:30" "19:00" "19:30" "20:00" "20:30" "21:00"]</p> <p>Time duration: [select durationtime "4 hours@@04:00" "10 hours@@10:00" "3,5”]</p>

      3) If you do not see the booked dates in calendar at the front-end, please open the General Booking Settings page and in the “Advanced section”, please be sure that you have not activated this option: “Allow unlimited bookings per same day(s):”. This option must be unchecked. If its checked, please uncheck it and update the settings.

      Also this option “Use pending days as available” must be unchecked, as well. It’s located at the Booking > Settings General page in Advanced section.

      If you still will have this issue, please recheck for the any cache plugins, like “WP Super Cache” or “W3 Total Cache”. If you are using someone, please deactivate it or add the exception to the page with booking form for do not cache this page(s).

      4) If you need to set for some selected items in your booking form additional costs like deposit, so then it’s possible in the Booking Calendar Business Medium or higher versions. Check more about this feature here: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/overview/#additional-cost
      Watch it in this video guide https://wpbookingcalendar.com/help/advanced-costs-video-overview/

      5) The ability to show cost in real time in booking form, after selection of dates or some other options possible in the Booking Calendar Business Medium or higher versions by using [cost_hint] shortcode in the booking form at the Booking > Settings > Form page.

      Test it here https://bm.wpbookingcalendar.com/

      You can make upgrade to the higher version of Booking Calendar from your exist version of plugin by clicking on the “Upgrade” menu item at the top right side of General Booking Settings page in your admin panel.

      Kind Regards.
