    We are looking to use Amelia to help manage our public facility booking through our website. We manage about 10 spaces, 8 of which are open to the public, through a basic online booking form right now. 

    We would like to have a visible booking calender based on each room and allow for the booking to go through the Amelia widget.

    Hello Rick,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Our plugin currently supports time slot booking during one day, so if it is just renting of co-working space for a couple of hours a day, then it is possible to use our plugin for this. If, however you need multi-day booking then you should check out our new feature Events.

    You can either create rooms where services are and create an employee for each room (a different one, so they can be bookable at the same time) and hide the employee selection with a simple CSS (we will explain later on ) or you can create each room as a separate employee and create just one service to attach to each room. Just so you know each employee needs to have an email, so if you don't need a separate email for each you can create Gmail or outlook the same email with +number, and they will be seen as a different one (a would later explain you this in more details, but you should know that you need to use Gmail or Outlook).

    If your employee email address is [email protected] you can make more employees with the same email by adding numbers like [email protected],[email protected]... )

    And then you can use the ameliabooking shortcode and on the front-end, you can hide with CSS  dropdown with Employees.

    You can use this CSS rule on the page between style tags where you will hide the Employee dropdown:

    <style>
    .am-select-employee-option {
        display: none;
    }
    </style>

    If you create just one employee and rooms as services, that means that rooms will not be bookable at the same time, since there is just one employee that is working (one employee/rooms one working hours - multiple employees/rooms multiple working hours). That is the reason why I offer you two other workarounds: rooms as services but with several employees hidden from the front end, or rooms as employees with one service.


    Kind Regards,

    Thank you Uros.

    Is there a live demo I could see where this is set-up in the way you describe.  I was on the website and the demos are set-up with employees being used etc.
