 * Hi!
 * Thanks for a great plugin.
 * Is it possible to add a “prepare next customer time slot” between slots? You 
   normally need some minutes to prepare for the next customer. Or should I set 
   it to 60 minutes and write for example “Massage (50 minutes)” in the name?
 * Regards!

 * Hi,
 * We are working in an update that will include the option to set a padding time(
   before and/or after the appointment) to support the prep time. We expect to have
   this update ready within the next 72 hours.
 * In the meantime please include the padding time into the appointment time as 
   you mention (60 minutes for a 50 minute appointment plus 10 mins preparation 
   for next customer).
 * Thank you for your feedback!

 * Hi codepeople team. Thank you for great plugin, it looks exactly what we need.
   Only problem we have is to set up calendar for our needs:
    we need generate slots
   every 15 minutes we need padding time after 15 minutes If I put these two things
   together to the setup, it generates slots every 30 minutes. Can you please direct
   me where are these 2 numbers counted together in code, I would fix it locally
   for our needs.

 * Hi,
 * Do you mean to not take the padding in account unless already booked the time?
 * Please confirm to understand your requirements.
 * Thank you for using the plugin.

 * Thank you for a quick response. Sorry for disturbing you at weekend.
    Yes, I 
   mean, if nobody book, then all the slots will be available like from 9:00, 9:
   15, 9:30m,… and so on. If someone book 1 hour procedure at 9:15, then next slot
   available will be 10:30, 10:45, 11:00… and so on. Now it works that available
   slots are 9:00, 9:30, 10:00,… and if someone book at 9:00, next available time
   is 10:15, 10:45, 11:15 (this second part is ok for us(start), but we need available
   time every 15 minutes)

 * Hallo codepeople team.
    I did little investigation and I think it can be fixed
   on 2 places: 35_fbuilder.fapp.js – function getSlots(d) – row 496 – replace st
   += me.bduration + me.pa + me.pb; for st += me.bduration; 02_fbuilder.fapp.js –
   function getSlots(arr, duration, bduration, pa, pb) – row 385 – remove bduration
   += pa + pb;
 * I fixed it like this and it work ok. Only problem I have that I can’t reload 
   35_fbuilder.fapp.js and no changes I do in editor are visible in debugger. This
   I tried to change in debugger and works good.
 * Will you do some update soon? Is this bug or it works correctly and only our 
   need are different then others?

 * Hi,
 * That isn’t a bug but a different case of use. We cannot change the current default
   behavior of the padding since there are users already using the plugin in the
   way it currently works, however we have released a new plugin update to support
   also the case of use you describe.
 * Please update first to the latest plugin version #1.1.28 published a few minutes
   ago.
 * When updated go to the General Settings >> Edit Scripts and add the following
   script line to change the default behavior to the case of use you need:
 * `var specialPadding = true;`
 * That will change the default padding feature to the case you describe.
 * The following screenshot shows how to add the above line:

 * Thank you for your feedback! We think that supporting both cases is an useful
   improvement to the plugin.

 * Hi codeproject team.
    Thank you for giving this option to your solution and how
   fast you released it. It works like a charm. Great work
