Hello Jeremy,

Thank you for purchasing our product, and for reaching out to us.

It is possible with a code, the code below should be placed on the page where [ameliacatalog] short-code is and If part should be repeated for as many employees as you want. The employee name needs to be the same as it is in Amelia (replace Sylvester Stallone) and in <a href="#"> # should be replaced with the employee profile page you have.

<script> window.beforeCatalogServiceLoaded = function () { setTimeout(function () { var elements = document.getElementsByClassName('am-service-provider') for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) { var employeeName = elements[i].children[1].innerHTML if (employeeName === 'Sylvester Stallone') { elements[i].children[1].innerHTML = '<a href="#">' + employeeName + '</a>' } } }, 1000) } </script>

[ameliacatalog]

This is an example for you to change the service ID in the shortcode that needs to be customized to change the employee ID

<script>
 function getUrlVars() {
   var vars = {};
   var parts = window.location.href.replace(/[?&]+([^=&]+)=([^&]*)/gi,   
   function(m, key, value) {
     vars[key] = value;
   });
   return vars;
 }
 bookingEntitiesIds[bookingEntitiesIds.length - 1]['service'] = getUrlVars()['service'];
</script>

If you have any more questions please feel free to open another ticket.

Hello Jeremy,

We didn't get the second ticket from you thank you for sending it again.

We have forwarded your inquiry to our developers and they have sent this code

<script>
 function getUrlVars() {
   var vars = {};
   var parts = window.location.href.replace(/[?&]+([^=&]+)=([^&]*)/gi,   
   function(m, key, value) {
     vars[key] = value;
   });
   return vars;
 }
 bookingEntitiesIds[bookingEntitiesIds.length - 1]['employee'] = getUrlVars()['employee'];
</script>

Please try it out and let us know how it went.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Jeremy,

This is a custom solution for people who dynamically change the ID in the shortcode with the ID found in the URL of the profile page, so, this is a javascript that's placed on the template page, it would pick up the ID from the URL and place it in the shortcode custom solution that requires a certain level of programming skills.

Our support is for advice only, other types of services such as custom programming services, the implementation of those codes that is not covered and included in our support. 

For this type of service, you must contact your dev team or some other specialized company that provides this type of service.

If you have any more questions please feel free to open another ticket.

Hello Jeremy,

The "Sylvester Stallone" code works for [ameliacatalog] booking form and it uses the employee's name to make it a hyperlink. Take a look at the screenshot below:

The other code is used for a dynamic ID, which is usually applied to services, but it can be used for dynamic Employee IDs also. However, there may be a more elegant solution, looking at your initial request.

You can do it with the help of some plugin which has the possibility to use PHP Snippets, and add shortcodes on the page in that way. For example:

1. There's the page (where you want the booking form to be), and when you're creating links that lead to that page, in URL you need to place the ID for the employee (http://somesite/booking?employee=17)

2. On that page (where you want the booking form to be), instead of our shortcode, you'd need to add the shortcode of that plugin which uses PHP Snippet which will generate our shortcode (https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-php-code-snippet/).

3. The snippet would look something like this:

<?php
$employee = $_GET['employee'];
echo do_shortcode( "[ameliabooking employee=$employee]" );
?>

That should help. Please let me know how it went.

Hello Jeremy,

You are most welcome. We have forwarded this to our developers and we will see if we can do something about it in the future.

If you have any more questions please feel free to open another ticket and we will gladly you there.

We wish you all the best.
