    I've set the business hours from 0800 - 1700. On the front-end this doesn't work. When selecting a time clients can select times after 1700. They also don't start at 0800 but at 0930.


    I'm also having the issue when using an Elementor Popup the shortcode doesn't work. Is this a known problem? On a regular page the booking widget works but on a popup it keeps spinning the hour glass.

    Hello Raoul,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    When you have several questions or issue, please open a new ticket, and we will help you there. In that way, issues and questions which are related to different subjects will be in separate tickets so other customers or our support agents can find them easily. 

    Our policy is to have one issue or question per ticket because of the reasons that are described already.

    Thank you for understanding.

    1. Service work hours depend on what you have set in your employee modal in work hours. So please go to the employee modal and check the employee work hours

    2. 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:

    1281836611.png

    So, to cover all options in here real quick:

    1. Select Category – allows you to select a specific category you have created in Amelia. 
    2. Select Service – allows you to select a specific service created in Amelia;
    3. Select Employee – selection which filters the form per selected employee;
    4. Select Location – if your employees are working on multiple locations, you can choose which location’s bookings will appear in the window.
    5. 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.
    6. 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:

    8128615255.png

    In there, go to "Advanced", and enable "Prevent Closing on Overlay":

    6043594822.png

    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:

    2954167864.png

    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):

    1226262590.png

    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.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Sorry for my late reply. I was on leave.

    I got the popup working following your instructions but the business hours still aren't correct. On the global settings they are set from from 0800-1700. On the employees tab they are also set from 0800-1700 but on the front-end form people still get from 10.30 to 1830

    Meeting blocks are also set at 30 mins but it shows blocks of 30mins and 1 hour. visible in attached picture.

    Hello Raoul,

    Please check the employee time zone in the employee modal and also please check if you have set the buffer time for your service.

    If you have enabled option to show time slot in customer time zone you should know that customer can see the appointments in the time zone that was set on their laptop.

    Looking forward to your reply.
