Hi, I am trying to include the booking form as a custom field for the employees and then inserting it within a loop using Elementor. The link above is where the loop is displayed.
Can you tell me what's wrong here and the right way to go about it?
I'm afraid that we didn't quite get what you want to achieve exactly? Can you explain to us in a little more detail, and send us a couple of screenshots?
Hi Marko, thank you for promptly getting back to me and apologies if I wasn't clear. Basically, I am trying to display the booking form, but it isn't displayed correctly when I add it as a custom field. It loads up correctly otherwise. The link that I have shared and the screenshot will hopefully give a clearer picture.
If we get it correctly you want to create a pop-up with elementor?
If this is the case then when you have created Employees, services and/or events in Amelia, you can add them on front-end using
our shortcodes, which are explained in detail in the article "Amelia Shortcodes and Front-end implementation".
In Elementor widgets, simply search for “Amelia” in Elementor’s side bar, and drag the widget onto a page:
When it’s dragged into the page, the same parameter options seen in the Gutenberg block are shown in
Elementor’s side panel:
So, to cover all options in here real quick:
Select Category – allows you to select a specific category you have created in Amelia.
Select Service – allows you to select a specific service created in Amelia;
Select Employee – selection which filters the form per selected employee;
Select Location – if your employees are working on multiple locations, you can choose which location’s
bookings will appear in the window.
Show All refers to “Services” and “Packages”, and is only available in Amelia’s Pro license (since
packages are not included in the Basic license). With this option, you can choose if the form will show both
services and packages (all), only services, or only packages.
All these can be combined, but please be careful that you’re selecting actual values. For example, if you select [ameliacatalog category=1 employee=3 location=2], and there’s no Employee #3 working on Category 1, or on Location #2, the booking form will continuously load, and will not display anything.
Load booking form manually – this is used for popups within Elementor, and that’s what we’re going to explain now.
First, you need to actually create a Popup in Elementor, following Elementor's tutorial here.
We added a shortcode for the popup - it needs to have the ID of the button that is calling the popup, so this is how one of the shortcodes should look like in the Elementor pop-up:
[ameliabooking trigger=amelia-button-id]
So, if the button ID is "my-popup-button" it will be:
[ameliabooking trigger=my-popup-button]
So, you create a Popup and add this shortcode in the popup.
Please note: At the moment, you cannot use Elementor's Amelia widgets in the popup, so when configuring the popup, make sure to add the "Shortcode" widget, and manually type the shortcode you need:
On the bottom-left part of the screen, click on the gear symbol to access Popup Settings:
In there, go to "Advanced", and enable "Prevent Closing on Overlay":
Then, on the page - add a button, on which the popup will be called, next to the "Link" field click on "Dynamic Tags" and select "Popup" from the drop-down:
Then, click on "Popup" in the link field, and you'll see the settings for the popup. Click on the "All" drop-down, and type the name of the popup you previously created. Select it, and click away to close the settings:
In the same form, below, you will see the "Button ID" field, where you need to add the ID for the trigger (from Amelia's shortcode):
That is it - once you publish this page, when you click on the button, it will open a popup which will manually trigger the "my-popup-button" and open Amelia's booking form.
This is what I am trying to do, and I hope that the screenshot attached will explain what I am trying to add. And this link shows how it's being displayed
Please provide me a temporary WP-admin (administrator) user for your site where this happens, so we could log in and take a look ‘from the inside’ as that’s the most efficient way to see and resolve the issue.
We do not interfere with any data or anything else except for the plugin (in case that’s a production version of the site), and of course, we do not provide login data to third parties.
You can write credentials here just check PRIVATE Reply so nobody can see them except us.
The only thing is that you need to change it your template shortcode for Nidhi to be id 4 not 1
For some reason your template can not be edited and we can not know how you have set it up so to not mess with your template just set this to employee 4 and that is it.
Yes, we did. We just entered the amelia booking form and preselected parameters.
For some reason your template can not be edited and we can not know how you have set it up so to not mess with your template just set second shortcode for Nidhi to employee 4 and that is it.
You can not set it like that. Since you are using Divi you need to create a separate template for each employee and when you add Amelia booking form you need to go to advanced and preselect parameters. That is what we did for the first employee. In Divi you can not set it up like that. This is not issue with Amelia but with Divi setup.

Hey guys, did you fix anything here? Because now the forms are loading up instead of the code.
Hello Sandeepa,

Hi Marco
Sorry to be playing a spoilt sport here, but the code is back instead of the form after I changed the code for the therapist Nidhi.
I have built a loop for the therapist and their information comes up dynamically using ACF fields. A screenshot to demonstrate this is attached.
I am setting up the employee details here
