We have purchased the Amelia plugin in January, 2020 and loved the interface and ease it provides!!
We had a couple of questions...
1. We are currently using it on the domain name "youngengineersclub.com" but due to trademark issues, wish to change the domain name. Can you guide us in transfering Amelia to another domain name?
2. While the interface and features and UI of Amelia are amazing and really appreciated, we wish to customize it to our brand guidelines in the following manner:
a. Change the way the services card looks initially, to a card that we have designed.
b. to change the words on the Events card, during booking of an event.
c. Add the events to our calendar along with the services. Currently only the services can be seen.
We would be grateful you could help us out in aligning Amelia to our brand!
1. You can simply deactivate the license on your current domain; transfer Amelia to a new domain, and activate it there.
When you are moving from one site to another, we can suggest using the Plugin Duplicator. We use it and it's working fine, because it will transfer all the files and also the tables to database.
2. a. and c. As for the customization of the plugin, you can change everything that you would like within our plugin but please make a backup because update will erase it.
Now as for the accessing the code, we are using Vue.js
JS files are modified (minimized) in public version of plugin (in our development environment is accessible), but unfortunately I can not send you our source code because that is the policy of our company.
All those files that have extension .vue are compressed and minimized in JS files that is very hard and not recommended modifying. So in order to add some other features you can unminify the JS and customize it.
b. Words can be changed using POEDIT or Loco Translate for example very easily. I suggest you to install Loco Translate and then to translate these strings.
If you want to use POEDIT then this is an instruction:
1. Download the Amelia plugin from our TMS Store or from email that you receive when you made purchase and save the .zip file on your computer.
4. After that open the program and open the file from the extracted folder on your computer ameliabooking/languages/fr_FR/wpamelia-fr_FR.po.
5. Translate all the strings that are not translated
6. Save the translation.
7. Go to ameliabooking/languages/fr_FR/ folder and copy these two files called wpamelia-fr_FR.po and wpamelia-fr_FR.mo back to your website in the location ../wp-content/plugins/ameliabooking/languages/fr_FR/.
This is example for French language, but you will choose yours.
I am replacing a theme for a client. I am also replacing most of their current plugins. I have already built the new site with its theme, plugins, etc. Now, I need to copy Amelia from their live site to the development site. How do I do that? I cannot just copy the entire site. I must only move Amelia and its data. Nothing else.
While Amelia doesn't have an Export/Import option at the moment (we'll work on that in the future), you would be able to move the employees, customers, services, working hours, etc by going through the database.
You'd select all "wp_amelia_" tables in one database and then export those tables. On the new site, install Amelia, and then access its database. In there, delete all "wp_amelia_" tables, and then import the ones you exported from the original site.
That is it - all your employees, customers, etc. will be imported into the new site.
You can't however (simply) move the settings as they contain the website's data, but that's not difficult either.
To move settings of Amelia, you'd need to access the "wp_options" database table of the first site, and in there look for "amelia_settings" option_name. That will return one row, so you need to edit it and copy the option_value cell. My suggestion is to paste it first into a text editor (I use Sublime Text, for example).
Then, access the same cell of the 2nd site, and copy that into another window of the text editor. Paste the new site with the old site's JSON file, and then Find/Replace the old site with the new one.
These contain the company's website, most likely the email address (if it's associated with the site), the Redirect URIs for Google and Outlook Calendar integrations (these have to be replaced), and the URLs of the Customer and the Employee Panel.
So, in regard to the option_value cell - you can copy and paste that as well, but you need to change the Redirect URIs for Google and Outlook Calendar, and change the URLs of Customer and Employee Panels.
I know this may seem cumbersome, but something like this is easily done within 15 - 20 minutes. We'll definitely work on creating an export/import functionality for the entire plugin, not just the customers, appointments, and Event attendees (that we currently have).
