Late booking isnt working

Hi,

Late booking works only for services whose durations are equal to the time base. This explanation is missed in the description.

So it is not suitable for a service lasting for 9 hours.

As an alternative idea, if client arrival time is flexible and you have one slot for the day, you can use service duration as “All day”. Then client will book for the day, not needing to select a time.

Cheers,
Hakan

Hi,

The time isn’t necessary because it will get removed anyway in the confirmation mail, custom function:

/** DATE_ONLY **/
add_filter( 'app_email_replace_pre', 'app_pholder_date_only', 10, 2 );
function app_pholder_date_only( $text, $r ) {
if ( empty( $r->ID ) ) {
return $text;
}
$booking = wpb_get_booking( $r->ID );
return str_replace( 'DATE_ONLY', $bo

Note: I have 20 slots per day, which are also gets displayed at the calendar, custom function:

/**
* Fill calendar cell with available worker count
* Return array
*/
add_filter( 'app_weekly_calendar_cell_fill', 'app_calendar_cell_fill', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'app_monthly_calendar_cell_fill', 'app_calendar_cell_fill', 10, 2 );
function app_calendar_cell_fill( $arr, $slot ) {
    if ( $slot->reason || is_admin() && !(defined( 'WPB_AJAX' ) && WPB_AJAX ) ) {
        return $arr;
	}

   if ( $slot->calendar->is_admin() ) {
     return $arr;
   }

    $start	= $slot->get_start();
    $end	= $slot->get_end();
    $busy	= isset( $slot->stat[$start][$end]['count'] ) ? $slot->stat[$start][$end]['count'] : 0;

    if ( $slot->get_worker() ) {
        $avail = 1;
    } else {
    	$avail = isset( $slot->stat[$start][$end]['available'] ) ? $slot->stat[$start][$end]['available'] : $slot->available_workforce(  );
	}

	$result	= max( 0, $avail - $busy );
    $fill	= !empty($arr['fill']) ? $arr['fill'].'<span style="font-size: 14px;">'.$result.'/20</span>' : $result;

    return array( 'class_name' => 'app-cell-centered', 'fill' => $fill );

}

/**
* Example of custom time table display for monthly calendar for a 12-hours service
* You can wrap the output with span tag for easier styling, e.g. return '<span>Morning Session</span>'
*/
add_filter( 'app_timetable_cell_fill', 'app_custom_time_display', 10, 2 );
function app_custom_time_display( $display, $slot ) {
    $service = $slot->get_service();
    if ( $service != 1 || BASE()->is_package( $service )  ) # Replace with your service ID
        return $display;

    if ( date( 'G', $slot->get_start() ) < 12 ) {
        return '<span style="font-size: 14px;">Freie Pl?tze:</span>';
    } else {
        return '<span style="font-size: 14px;">Freie Pl?tze:</span>';
	}
  
}

What is your question?

Hi,

I want to make the function “late booking” available for all 20 slots per day.

Do I need to change the working hours from 9 hours to all day, in order to get it working?

Yes.

Do not forget to set working hours of the service to cover all day. You can click on the column header to set all day.

There is no other workaround available?
Because I don’t want to make the service the whole day available.
(We have opening time from 10:00 AM – 07:00 PM)

For an all day service client will only see the date in emails, not time. So you can add a fixed line of text in emails that your office opens at 10am and closes at 7pm.

It is like saying check-in time is 2pm and checkout time is 11am for a hotel business.

Yeah but the slots are still available after 7:00 PM on the same day which makes no sense.

When you set service duration as “All day”, time slots are not available. Client can only select date.

For example, select “Full Day City Tour” on our demo website:
https://demo.wp-base.com/

Yes that may works but now it wont display the slots (so the customer doesnt know how many slots are left) because im using the following function:

/**
* Fill calendar cell with available worker count
* Return array
*/
add_filter( 'app_weekly_calendar_cell_fill', 'app_calendar_cell_fill', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'app_monthly_calendar_cell_fill', 'app_calendar_cell_fill', 10, 2 );
function app_calendar_cell_fill( $arr, $slot ) {
    if ( $slot->reason || is_admin() && !(defined( 'WPB_AJAX' ) && WPB_AJAX ) ) {
        return $arr;
	}

   if ( $slot->calendar->is_admin() ) {
     return $arr;
   }

    $start	= $slot->get_start();
    $end	= $slot->get_end();
    $busy	= isset( $slot->stat[$start][$end]['count'] ) ? $slot->stat[$start][$end]['count'] : 0;

    if ( $slot->get_worker() ) {
        $avail = 1;
    } else {
    	$avail = isset( $slot->stat[$start][$end]['available'] ) ? $slot->stat[$start][$end]['available'] : $slot->available_workforce(  );
	}

	$result	= max( 0, $avail - $busy );
    $fill	= !empty($arr['fill']) ? $arr['fill'].'<span style="font-size: 14px;">'.$result.'/20</span>' : $result;

    return array( 'class_name' => 'app-cell-centered', 'fill' => $fill );

}

/**
* Example of custom time table display for monthly calendar for a 12-hours service
* You can wrap the output with span tag for easier styling, e.g. return '<span>Morning Session</span>'
*/
add_filter( 'app_timetable_cell_fill', 'app_custom_time_display', 10, 2 );
function app_custom_time_display( $display, $slot ) {
    $service = $slot->get_service();
    if ( $service != 1 || BASE()->is_package( $service )  ) # Replace with your service ID
        return $display;

    if ( date( 'G', $slot->get_start() ) < 12 ) {
        return '<span style="font-size: 14px;">Freie Pl?tze:</span>';
    } else {
        return '<span style="font-size: 14px;">Freie Pl?tze:</span>';
	}
  
}

That function will only work for time slots.

I am afraid there is no way to display free spaces in this configuration.

Is it maybe possible to display slots within the calendar?

In sample-custom-functions.php file of the recently uploaded version (V3.8.3), you will see a sample function app_monthly_calendar_html_after_td to display free and total available space in the monthly calendar.

Alternatively, now you can use booking in Table View to display free and total spaces using the shortcode like:
[app_book type=”table” columns=”date, day, time, seats_total, seats_left, seats_total_left, button”]

The custom function “app_monthly_calendar_html_after_td” works perfect, thanks!

Additional question:
When I set a value in “Late booking permission time (mins)” what is the starting point? Is it from 00:00 AM till 23:59 PM same day?
If yes, with a value of “1140” (mins) it should allow/enable late booking till 19:00 PM, right?

When service duration is all day, you don’t need to set “Late booking permission time”.

Client can always book until 23:59. It is like booking a hotel room.
