Blocking-out Dates

Hi brettroby,

Unfortunately, at the moment you won’t be able to remove the views from the calendar to display only the days you’re available to accept the appointments. Alternatively, you could just add a note at the top of the appointment form and set the location to be closed on all days except Friday by navigating to the “Locations” tab from the plugin settings.

Thanks for your thorough reply. If I understand this correctly, we could set a location and then have that location accept appointments for only Fridays. Is that correct? If I got that correctly, that might help.

Another question: is there any way to indicate or display on the calendar that site visitors see that certain days are “full” or “unavailable” or something similar? If we could have some sort of color cue, that would be adequate. For example, “available” days are green and “unavailable” days are red. Something like that.

Pardon the naive questions; it’s just that I haven’t downloaded and used this yet so I’m trying to get all the information lined up before I dive into it, as my client is the one that will be using it.

Sorry for the delay in our response. Not sure how that slipped through.

Your first point is correct. You can set the open/close time for each location, per day. So you can definitely set it so that a specific location is only open on Friday.

For the colors, it works in the reverse fashion to what you mentioned. Days that still have open appointment slots will have the colored blocks on them. Days that have no available appointment slots, will show no colors or blocks on them.

And you can easily change the color of the appointment blocks in the calendar using custom CSS. For example:

.fc-event {
background-color: #f0a;
}
