Things to know<\/div>

The widget displays the previously booked items and works in the \"Plain\" JetBooking mode with or without WooCommerce plugin installed and activated.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Configure the JetBooking Plugin Settings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Initially, navigate to WordPress > Bookings > Settings<\/em><\/strong>. In the General<\/strong> tab, select the \u201cPlain\u201d option in the Booking mode<\/strong> drop-down menu. After that, unroll the Booking instance post type<\/strong> drop-down menu and choose the CPT<\/strong> for which the set booking data will be displayed (\u201cProperties\u201d in this tutorial).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"general<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then, move to the Schedule<\/strong> tab and set the weekday and time booking rules using the corresponding fields and toggles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"shedule<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

More details about configuring the timepicker settings can be found in the How to Manage Timepicker for Check-In\/Check-Out<\/strong><\/a> tutorial.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Build a JetEngine Query <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Unroll the WordPress Dashboard ><\/em><\/strong> JetEngine > Query Builder<\/em><\/strong> tab and press the \u201cAdd New<\/strong>\u201d button to build a new query. Type the query’s name (here, \u201cQuery for bookings\u201d) into the Name<\/strong> field and select the \u201cJetBooking Query\u201d option from the Query Type<\/strong> drop-down menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigate to the General<\/strong> tab and select the desired booking status to display (e.g., \u201cOn hold\u201d, \u201cPending\u201d, etc.) from the Status<\/strong> drop-down menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"booking<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the next step, move to the User ID<\/strong> drop-down menu, press the \u201cDynamic Tag<\/strong>\u201d icon, and select the \u201cCurrent user ID\u201d macro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"user<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Press the \u201cAdd Query \/ Update Query<\/strong>\u201d button to save it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Get Booking Data<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Create a form or open a previously built one. Read the Creating a Form<\/strong><\/a> tutorial to learn more about the form-building process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insert the needed form fields. The How to Create a Booking Form<\/strong><\/a> tutorial explains the main features of booking forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the form fields to collect users’ data, such as \u201cFirst Name,\u201d \u201cLast Name,\u201d and \u201cEmail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, we insert the Check-in\/check-out dates <\/strong>block and set its settings. First, we type the field\u2019s label in the General > FIELD LABEL<\/em><\/strong> field; after that, we pick the \u201cInline\u201d FIELDS POSITION<\/strong> and select the \u201cSeparate fields for check in and check out dates layouts\u201d option in the Field Settings > LAYOUT<\/em><\/strong> drop-down list. Next, set the date format, date separator, and the first day of the week in the Field Settings > DATE FORMAT, Field Settings > DATE FIELD SEPARATOR<\/em><\/strong>, <\/em><\/strong>and Field Settings > FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK<\/em><\/strong> drop-down lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Check-in<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then, move to the JetForm<\/strong> settings and add the \u201cApartment Booking\u201d Post Submit<\/strong> Action<\/strong><\/a>. Here, we fill out the pop-up\u2019s fields: choose the name of the Hidden Field<\/strong><\/a> (in this case, the \u201cproperty_id\u201d) in the APARTMENT ID FIELD<\/strong>; the corresponding fields in CHECK IN\/OUT DATA FIELD<\/strong> and EMAIL FIELD<\/strong>. Finally, we move to the DB columns map<\/strong> block and match the form\u2019s field data to the corresponding database column (in this tutorial, we picked the EMAIL<\/strong> form\u2019s field in the USER_DATA<\/strong> drop-down menu). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last step, press the \u201cUpdate<\/strong>\u201d button and save the form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"appartment<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Finally, add the form to a Single Post Page Template<\/strong> of the CPT<\/strong> post. In this case, we use Elementor to insert the form via the JetForm<\/strong><\/a> widget. Read the How to Display the Booking Form on the Single Post Page<\/strong><\/a> tutorial for more details. Then, navigate to the front end and submit the form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"the<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After submitting the form, all booking data will be collected by the JetBooking <\/em>plugin in the WordPress Dashboard > Bookings > Bookings<\/em><\/strong> tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"booking<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Create a Listing Item<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

The next step is creating a Listing item<\/strong><\/a> to display the entered booking data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, navigate to the WordPress Dashboard ><\/em><\/strong> JetEngine > Listings\/Components<\/em><\/strong> tab and press the \u201cAdd New Item<\/strong>\u201d button. Now, select the \u201cQuery Builder\u201d option from the Listing source<\/strong> drop-down menu and choose the necessary query from the Query<\/strong> drop-down menu (here, we pick the \u201cQuery for bookings\u201d query); next, set the Listing item name<\/strong> field, and select the editor from the Listing view<\/strong> drop-down menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"listing<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Press the \u201cCreate Listing Item<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the necessary fields to the listing item. For this tutorial, we find and drag-and-drop the Dynamic Field<\/strong><\/a> widget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, we select the \u201cPost\/Term\/User\/Object Data\u201d option from the Source<\/strong> drop-down menu and set the \u201cBooking ID\u201d option from the JetBooking<\/strong> section in the Object Field<\/strong> drop-down menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, we duplicate the Dynamic Field<\/strong> widget and select the \u201cCheck In Date\u201d option that can be found in the JetBooking<\/strong> section in the Object Field<\/strong> drop-down menu. To display the data in the necessary format, activate the Filter field output<\/strong> toggle and select the format option from the Callback<\/strong> drop-down menu. In this case, we choose the \u201cFormat date\u201d Callback<\/strong> and set the \u201cF j, Y\u201d Format<\/strong> to display the date in the \u201cMonth, day, year\u201d view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"check<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We duplicate the Dynamic Field<\/strong> widget again and select the \u201cCheck In Time\u201d option, which can be found under the JetBooking<\/strong> section in the Object Field<\/strong> drop-down menu. Also, we activate the Filter field output<\/strong> toggle, set the \u201cFormat date\u201d Callback<\/strong>, and type the \u201cg:i,a\u201d text in the Format <\/strong>field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"check<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the same way, we add the Dynamic Field<\/strong> widget and display the \u201cCheck Out Date\u201d and \u201cCheck Out Time\u201d options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, to add the booking to the Google Calendar<\/strong>, we add the Dynamic Link<\/strong><\/a> widget and select the \u201cJetBooking: Add booking to Google Calendar\u201d option from the Source<\/strong> drop-down menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"dynamic<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Press the \u201cPublish<\/strong>\u201d button to save the page.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Display Bookings in the Dynamic Calendar Widget<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Create a new Single page<\/a> or open the one you created for the CPT<\/strong> post you used to build a query and display booking data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find the Dynamic Calendar <\/strong>widget and drag and drop it to the single page. Select the built listing item from the Listing<\/strong> drop-down menu and the \u201cBooking date\u201d option from the Group posts by <\/strong>field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"dynamic<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Update the single page and check the Dynamic Calendar<\/strong> on the front end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"dynamic<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pressing the \u201cAdd to Google Calendar<\/strong>\u201d link adds the booking to the Google Calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"google<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
