Single day appointments

  • Hi there

    Love the plugin so far, its the closest I’ve found to what I need. The site I’m using it on is a corporate intranet that currently uses an events calendar plugin, but one that doesn’t have an appointment book capability. The events calendar is well-established internally, so I’m not looking to replace it, but to supplement it with something that will allow booking onto the events themselves. Each event has an entry in a calendar that when clicked on takes you to an individual page about the event.

    What I’d like to do with this plugin is show the available times on the existing event page. Currently it shows a full weeks’ table of slots, but each event is only one day (a Friday) so I only want to show the slots that are available on the specific date in question (otherwise the rest of the week is just full of unbookable X’s). Is there a way to achieve this with your plugin?

    Many thanks

    John

    Hello John, I trust you are doing well today!

    If you need a full day appointment, you need to create service with full day duration, 8 hours, 9 or 24 hours. It depends on your working hours.

    For example, to set a full 8 hours day appointment, (8 hours=480 min). From Appointments > Settings > General, add 480 to the Additional time base field

    Once you save changes, set 480 duration at General tab > Time Base.

    Set the service duration and add a service provider. Just a note, there still be a one time slot available that will indicate a start time of the appointment.

    Let me know if you have any further questions!

    Cheers,
    Nastia

    Hi there and thank you… but sorry, I wasn’t clear enough in my question – that’s not what I’m looking to do.

    Each appointment will only be half an hour, BUT we will only have one whole day of half hour appointments available on a Friday. Basically on the front end I only want to show that one day, not the rest of the week or month. Does that make sense? So on the page it just shows the available half-hour slots for the specific day.

    Thanks again

    John

    Hi John,

    Unfortunately A+ doesn’t have such option, there’s only monthly and weekly form available.
    Getting it to work the way you described above would require some custom coding.

    Cheers,

    Ah that is a shame. Thanks for letting me know. Its a tricky one, I feel like I’m trying to find a needle in a barn full of haystacks… except I don’t even know what a needle looks like!
