Reservations pending do not show in front end

  • I’m using Pinpoint Booking System Pro but I notice that bookings made by users of an availability calendar but are still pending approval, don’t show in that calendar either to themselves or other uses. Isn’t this confusing?
    Or is there a switch I have missed in settings somewhere? Otherwise won’t someone else attempt to book the same dates – inevitably leading to disappointment?
    Or have I got this wrong?

    Many thanks,
    John

    Hello,

    You can use the “Pay on arrival” option and users can make bookings for the same date multiple times until the admin approves one booking.

    Or you can use the Instant approval option, and only one user can book a date.

    A pending status is not available.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for the information. Sadly that’s not what I hoped to hear, because it runs counter to the way the site owner would like to operate. And seems somewhat surprising to me.

    I hope you can find what you are looking for.

    Thank you.

    Is it possible that this feature can be added. or if you could point us to the files where this could be coded in, that would help.

    are you open to adding additional development features to the plugin for a fee?

    This request is complex.
    It’s not possible to add custom work.

    Thank you.

    I appreciate your point entirely, Booking System Pro is very complex and it is not a trivial matter to add this feature as a custom job. However, I still find BSP quite the best of the available options out there and I’m very reluctant to move to another that has this feature, but is missing several others. In consequence, I have now completed this piece of development and tested it in WP 4.4.1, with version 1.5.9 of BSP. My testing has been confined to day bookings, but with the setting Use Check in / Check out enabled, and Use Morning Check out enabled also. I have not tested this at all with the Use Hours setting turned on, although it should work in a very similar fashion and I believe I have included the css for that too.
    The most important issue is that by default a new setting: Pending reservations block others is disabled, so that the plugin can operate exactly as it does now. This would be ideal, I believe, because I do not wish to encourage a custom fork in your development, as this would always lead to more work further down the line and the potential to lose this new functionality as soon as the next upgrade to BSP is released!
    So in short, would you like the code? I can send this as a diff file if you are interested.
    Best regards,
    John
