Set up on page for calendar

[Kim]

Hello Nico,

thanks for getting back to me about this. Sadly the client insists that they want what I was trying to achieve with Events Calendar. But from what you are telling me it doesn’t seem possible at this time for the plugin to allow this. With this in mind would it be possible for a refund of the product as it is not of any use to the web build.

I have deleted the said plugins and can send you a screen print for proof in a private message. Just let me know
I look forward to using your products again in another web build.

Many thanks

Hi,
My client (an aquarium) offers feeding experiences for customers. Some of the experiences are twice daily and for 1 or 2 people.
Maximum of 2 people per slot. Events happen every day except 25th Dec and 1st January.

My question is can I have a calendar view on the chosen page where customers can click on the date they want and have the option to choose from 2 different times. In other words a calendar view which when they click on the date they want they can then choose the feeding experience for that date and time preferred?

At the moment i seem to only be able to add each event at a time.

Also is there an option to limit the amount of bookings in one day – ie if the 2 person slot is taken then 1 person cannot be added to the same time slot.

Hope this makes sense – I am going round in circles here.

CORRECT ANSWER?
Hi there Kim,

Thanks for getting in touch with us!

Unfortunately what you describe is not possible with our plugins. It might be possible with some custom code, but not something we would be able to support I’m afraid ?

Maybe you can achieve this with just WooCommerce variable product feature. This way you could have just one product with a date variable (like a color variable) the user can choose. I’d say this might be easier than customizing our plugin! Also if you stumble upon a similar limitation from the WooCommerce side it’s very likely there’s already a plugin to account for that.

Please let me know if this helps,
Best,
Nico

Good evening Kim and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

 

I am sorry that we were not able to provide you with a better solution last time you reached out to us.

However, some time has passed since then and perhaps our newest features could at least help you reach parts of your goal ?

can I have a calendar view on the chosen page where customers can click on the date they want and have the option to choose from 2 different times.

You can now embed both full calendars AND single events on any normal page or custom post type with our shortcodes.

You can read about this here:

1. https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/embedding-calendar-views-tribe_events-shortcode/
2. https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/embedding-single-events-tribe_event_inline-shortcode/

This would allow you to embed 2 events/times on a chosen page.

Alternatively, you could have an all-day event but use the tickets to represent times.

I.e.: ticket #1 = 3pm , ticket #2 = 4pm

Also is there an option to limit the amount of bookings in one day – ie if the 2 person slot is taken then 1 person cannot be added to the same time slot.

This part would have to be managed at the WooCommerce level (either through a plugin or a snippet). One idea would be to have 2 ticket products for each time where product #1 can only be purchased with a quantity of 2.

If coding is not really your thing, you could hire one of our recommended customizers to do the customization for you.

Finally, another option would be to see if Eventbrite tickets integration could not accomplish what you are looking for.

With this in mind would it be possible for a refund of the product as it is not of any use to the web build.

The good news is you are fully entitled to a refund if you want one since you are within 30 days of your purchase (considering we were closed for the holidays). To obtain the refund, you just need to follow the procedure described here.

Please ensure you reference this thread in your request.

Best regards,

Geoff B.
