multiple calendars, separate feeds, hiding ICS details, display like VRBO?

    I tried searching and checking the pro FAQ but only really found info about multiple feeds into one calendar.

    What I’d like to know, is am I able to create multiple instances across a site with different feeds for each? For example, if you had a home rental agency website, each home would have their own availability so on the home’s individual page, I would want to show only that home’s availability, not a combined availability across all homes.

    Secondly, the ICS feed I use has some personal information in it (name of an individual) that I would like to not display. I don’t want to hide this by way of CSS, I want to completely not display this on the page. Basically I want just “booked” or “available”

    Finally, are there any CSS tweaks that would show the booked/available dates similar to how VRBO shows them? Eg: https://www.vrbo.com/1025236?adultsCount=2&noDates=true&unitId=1573184 (click availability to see the calendar) and you can see the end date is a half slash indicating that day is available to arrive as it is a check-out date. This would not need to be exactly the same, but I’m using it as an example that hopefully makes sense.

    Thanks!

    Absolutely… both the free and pro versions support creating as many separate shortcodes on your site as you want… you can even put multiple shortcodes on the same page, although I would avoid that unless there’s a very clear reason to do so.

    Both versions also include the maskinfo option which allows you to replace all of the details about an event with a text string of your choice, e.g. “Booked”. The pro version also includes a regular expressions feature to give you more ability to customize replacement text.

    The VRBO-style display you’re talking about can be achieved with the “year availability” view in the pro version, but there’s no direct equivalent in the free version.

    Thank you. Would there be any way to easily customize the widget view to change the start/end dates more like the VRBO style? Such as, perhaps half of the circle being colored while the other half not on start/end dates?

    I’m working on another view that is kind of a combination of year availability and widget views, which would probably do what you need. (But now we are getting into pro-only territory and we’re not supposed to provide support for paid plugins here in the forums.)

    Understood. I’ll send a message from the pro site to discuss further.
