How to Display the Booking Form on the Single Post Page

The tutorial explains how to display booking forms with the JetFormBuilder and JetEngine plugins and apply the Booking Availability Calendar widget on the single post pages.

Before you start, check the tutorial requirements:

  • Elementor (Free version) and Block editor (Gutenberg)

  • JetEngine plugin installed and activated with CPT created.

    If you have not done this yet, please follow this tutorial.

  • JetThemeCore plugin installed and activated with a Single Post Page created.

    If you have not done this yet, please follow this tutorial.

  • JetFormBuilder plugin installed and activated with a Booking Form created.

    If you have not done this yet, please follow this tutorial.

  • JetBooking plugin installed and activated.

Users can add their JetFormBuilder or JetEngine forms to single pages built in Elementor and Block Editor (Gutenberg) using the Form and JetForm widgets/blocks, respectively.

Create the Single Page

Navigate to the Crocoblock > Theme Templates tab. Press the “+ Add New” button to create a single page. 

Fill in the fields in the Create a template pop-up window: select the “Single” option from the Template Type drop-down menu, the builder from the Template Content Type drop-down menu, and fill in the Template Name field.

Click the “Create Template” button.Set the page template visibility conditions to make it appear on the specific CPT pages.

Add the Booking Availability Calendar Widget/Block

This block/widget is only available for the custom single pages built in Elementor or Block Editor and works with the JetEngine or JetFormBuilder booking forms.

If added to the single page, this block/widget displays a calendar and allows users to choose the check-in/out dates. Additionally, it shows the dates that are already booked. When the user selects dates on the calendar, they will be automatically placed in the Check-In and Check-Out fields of the booking form.

Things to know

The Booking Availability Calendar widget for Elementor and the Booking Availability Calendar block for Block Editor (Gutenberg) are associated with the Check-in/Check-out dates block for Block Editor (Gutenberg); therefore, the Check-in/Check-out dates block transfers the date value and format to the Booking Availability Calendar widget for Elementor.

Adding the Booking Availability Calendar block to the Single page in Block Editor

Open the created Single page in Block Editor. Find the Booking Availability Calendar block and drag and drop it to the page.

Warning

The forms by the JetEngine plugin are legacy. Therefore, their development is not planned. The module will have no updates or debugging. Consequently, it can work incorrectly. Thus, we recommend using the free JetFormBuilder plugin for Elementor, Block Editor, and Bricks.

Find the Form widget and drag and drop it to the Single page. Select the “JetEngine” option as a provider in the Choose Provider drop-down menu.

Managing Orders

The JetBooking plugin collects all booking orders via its dashboard. To manage them, navigate to the Bookings > Bookings tab.

The dashboard displays the columns with data referring to the order’s details, i.e., check-in and check-out dates and the order’s status. To edit booking order details, press the “Edit” button and use the settings in the Edit Booking pop-up window.
