Special hours

@aidin594 The special opening hours are not provided by the Google Places API so I cannot use the data to populate this in the Dashboard.

I recommend setting this in your We’re Open Dashboard and using Structured Data to inform Google of your Special opening hours.

Hi @designextreme

It seems like the Google My Business API provides this data.
Do you think anytime soon it will be available in the plugin?
Would pay for it as a premium feature… I really need that.

Thank you

@barak97 This is a different API to the Places API and its setup is less well defined in comparison. I am aware of this and will be looking to include the Google My Business API in a future version – but I do not have any time-scale for this yet.

However, this plugin does provide Structured Data that does inform your Google My Business listing. You can use this from your website to populate accurate opening hours provided your business’s website matches up with your listing.

@designextreme Thank you for the fast reply.
Another thing I came across is the need for other date formats.
I created a custom one myself, but it would be great if it was added in future versions:
wp_date("l, j/n", $this->next_week_start_timestamp)), 'l, j/n', NULL)
(It created a “Sunday, 1/4” format).

Thank you!

@barak97 Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, this is one feature that I do want to add soon… I do try to have a pretty comprehensive list, but there are no end to combinations that could be used here… so opening it up to use the date() syntax is a logical step – in fact, much of the code is in place already to handle all the valid characters.

I’ll see if I can sort this for the next version.
