Availability Calendar & booking is a calendar to show the availability of whatever you might need it for (eg. holiday cottage, hotel rooms etc.).<\/p>\n\n
The shortcode [availbooking name=\"Voorkamer\"] inserts the calendar(screenshot-1) with the bookings information of the -Voorkamer- in the article. An article may contains different calendars each identified by a unique name.<\/p>\n\n
An interface supports a database for the bookings and a database for the price information.<\/p>\n\n
The bookings database contains all bookings for all bookable items (screenshot-2) With the menu -Add new booking- or with the -Add new booking- button a form is available to enter a new booking. (screenshot-3)<\/p>\n\n
With an option the display of the calendar is switched between one month and a block of three months (see screenshot-6 and screenshot-10)<\/p>\n\n
The Availability Check widget may be used in combination with the calendar display or as standalone. As standalone a connection with the page content (description of a room) may be made by a the shortcode:\n[availbooking_widget name=\"Room name\"] The widget can also be set to search through all available rooms.<\/p>\n\n
For each separate item (room) a link is created to automatically upload the calendar to external calendars like Airb&b with an ical interface. Synchronisation in the other direction (from external calendar) is also possible.<\/p>\n\n
Interaction with the payment modules jm-mollie-client and jm-paypal-client available in version 1.4.6<\/p>\n\n
Remarks on external calendars.<\/strong>\nExternal calendars requires a separate advertisement for each item.\nDownload from external calendars needs special attention. The iCal format includes an UID (unique identifier) to identify an appointment (booking) uniquely over the different calendars. So in a sequential download appointments already present can be skipped or updated. Unfortunately some external calendars do not comply to this standard. Each time a download requested from such an external calendar generates a new different UID for the same appointment which result in multiple records with the same appointment. A workaround is first to delete all appointments before downloading the external calendar. For these external calendars the possible recurrent schedule of the download is not very useful.<\/p>\n\n The sync to an external calendar does not work in the permalink basis setting.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n =Widget settings=<\/p>\n\n Title<\/strong>: To override the default title<\/p>\n\n Bookings Type<\/strong> Let the user select the type of booking, days, weeks, a weekend or a midweek.

So you need for each page a separate contactform.\nIn this case replace the [booking] in the form part of the contactform settings with [booking room_name]<\/p><\/li>\n There are multiple calendar pages (one for each room) with a generic bookings form page. In this case there is only one contactform needed as in situation 2 there is a contactform for each calendar page.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n -Set the - Title of page with booking form -field in the settings (screenshot 6) to the name of the page with the generic bookings form.<\/p>\n\n -Insert into the page with the calendar a link to the page with the generic form, add to the link part the name of the room.<\/p>\n\n e.g. <a href=\"http:\/\/localhost\/wp\/contact\/voorkamer\">Click here to book<\/a> For the basic permalink setting use:<\/p>\n\n <a href=\"http:\/\/localhost\/wp?page_id=xxx&room_name=voorkamer\"><\/p>\n\n In this example -contact- is the title of the page with the form and -voorkamer- the name of the room.<\/p>\n\n Default currency: Select the default currency format in the price info.<\/p>\n\n =External Calendar Sychronisation=<\/p>\n\n The available links are given in the settings<\/em><\/p>\n\n These links are only available after the list of rooms is set and saved.<\/p>\n\n External Calendar settings.<\/em><\/p>\n\n These settings controls the mapping to the external calendar fields.

The export file is in xml format.<\/p>\n\n Export\/Import to\/from a iCal file is also possible. Only bookings information is included and each room\/item needs a separate file.<\/p>\n\n Another option is to download bookings (manual or recurrent scheduled) with a link provided by the external calendar. For each room\/item a separate link is required.<\/p>\n\n\n Create a contact form as usual.<\/p>\n\n The minimal required fields are:<\/p>\n\n [booking] This field initiates the integration and displays a selection box with the room names.<\/p>\n\n [email* your-email]<\/p>\n\n [text* start_date id:start_date] This must be a text field!!<\/p>\n\n [text* end_date id:end_date] This must be a text field!!<\/p>\n\n [text* your-phone]<\/p>\n\n [select* your-country ....]<\/p>\n\n [select* your-language \"nl\"\"en\"]<\/p>\n\n [select* number_of_persons id:number_of_persons \"0\" \"1\" \"2\" \"3\" \"4\"]<\/p>\n\n To display the total amount for the booking add<\/p>\n\n\n\n The corresponding field for the email definition are:<\/p>\n\n [your-name]<\/p>\n\n [your-email]<\/p>\n\n [booking]<\/p>\n\n [start_date]<\/p>\n\n [end_date]<\/p>\n\n [number_of_persons]<\/p>\n\n [total_amount]<\/p>\n\n [your-phone]<\/p>\n\n [your-country]<\/p>\n\n [your-language]<\/p>\n\n Email 2 of the CTF7 may be used as confirmation email to the booker.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n Version 1.7.2<\/p>\n\n Show selected accommodation in CTF7<\/p>\n\n Room changed for accommodation in Dutch translation<\/p>\n\n Description Blocked Month updated<\/p>\n\n Version 1.7.1.1<\/p>\n\n the first month of a row of calenders is shifted one line below issue solved.<\/p>\n\n Version 1.7.1\nTax information optional.<\/p>\n\n Bug display booking checkin on last day or checkout on first day of the month solved.<\/p>\n\n Display price of additional persons separate by option from the week prices.<\/p>\n\n Month display selectable from 1 to 12 months<\/p>\n\n The number of persons set to the highest number of persons in a room.<\/p>\n\n General bookings form also for the basic permalink setting, use ?page_id=1012&room_name=voorkamer<\/p>\n\n Make the room name in the widget result a link to the general booking form with the corresponding fields filled in.<\/p>\n\n Chinese language added.
