I am using your Amelia plugin for a Yoga studio website and would like to have an option where a user/customers could book the studio it self. The issue I am having is that I cannot find a way so that the available time slots to book the studio do not interfere with the classes that are already booked. Is there a way around this?
Basically, Amelia was created as a plugin for booking Appointments. Therefore, there are no built-in features for a facility booking business. But there are some workarounds.
In your case, each studio has to be a booking Service in Amelia.
I should mention first that a Service can be booked only for 23h 30min. So if you want to let longer rental time, you'll have to use Events.
Our plugin needs at least one Employee connected with a Service. If you have 5 studios and you want to allow renting them at the same time separately (and avoid double renting), you'll have to connect them to 5 different Employees. It goes without saying that these Employees don't have to be real staff members (i.e. they can be fictional).
In Amelia, each Employee needs to have a unique email address so each studiowill have also. This can be solved if you plan to use Gmail by adding +number before @ for the same email address (like [email protected], [email protected], etc.) and then you will be able to create different email addresses but all emails will go to the same email address.
The Employee selection field can be hidden on the front-end, so your clients won't have to choose them while booking.
