We have a website for Holiday rentals and have been trying to create an availability calendar to match with an existing dynamic page (villa rental title, description with photos, prices, etcetera). On every dynamic page needs to be a different calendar. There was no matching widget or grid that connects with a database besides the tables, so now I have worked on a table which is connected to a database that will showcase all the houses in rows with months and date numbers (in the fields with colors I added colored images):
Looks nice. Yep. Only this is a lot of work and now I only added 2 houses of a total of about 50 Holiday rentals (still to add in the database, which is 600 rows of data in images ). In this way I have to add all the houses in the database with in the first column the name of the house, the 2nd the 12 months and after that bit by bit adding images of the right color per availability (which we receive from our vacation rentals in iCal, Google calendar, etc).
Long story short: a hell of a job. So I hope anybody knows a faster way of connecting the multiple calendars of all different houses that need to match with each and every seperate dynamic page of a vacation house. Anybody any idea how else we could match something with the database? For example linking the URL of the calendars in the database?? To?? OR a faster way to connect the tabel with it? Some help is highly appreciated. Kind regards
Hey! Thanks for sharing this. I have run into the same issue has anyone gotten back to you?
i’m trying to figure out way something similar(ish) I want to build out a custom calendar view that will pull class info/ do a quick overview for viewrers of month to month classes. I know that I can easily sync gmail calendar with this info, but one of my client asks was to be abl to easily update, she spends to much time having to input class schedules in multiple pots. so i have been trying to figure out the following:
- build a monthly calendar from a database collection - which would update when the client goes in to update class listings for the months (she usually has class schedules up for 3 month blocks)
viewers should be able to click on a class which would link them to the item page where they can register for either that specific class as a drop in - and I would have a button that would be added to buy mulitple class packs
But the kicker for me – i need all of this info to somehow link back to the Member Database that I created as well.
i’ve created a customer member log in page with the profile page/ and customer waiver forms there but is there a way to build
I think i may be looking to do too much customization at this point. But want to know if it’s possible.
if not the calendar would be a great start.
That sounds indeed as a lot of customization. Unfortunately nobody has gotten back. For now we solved our issues as described above (using a 31 (days) x 12 (months) table). It is no ideal, but with the import function updating calendars is manageable.
Good luck finding a solution for your requirements.
We have used WIX hotels for this in the past, but it was too limited in how we could display our villas and also the maintenance of the information in WIX hotels was not ideal. We are now using a WIX database linked to an index page and linked to dynamic pages to display the properties, which gives a lot more flexibility, unfortunately it also creates a bit more complexity, which I am now trying to resolve step by step.
Thanks, but bookings has, limitations. We use it for most, individual classes/services. But I still need to be able to show class schedules as an overview. We also have waivers andnmemebrs that he families that’s we need tk track in one spot. that we need to be able store and easily export. I’ve done that part by building custom forms/&member data collections,
Now I just need to get the class schedule in a calendar view.
I’d try to use the new repeater elements under ‘Lists & Grids’ you could design each element to look like a calendar/day entry. Later set the relevant data into the repeater items.
You could connect a repeater with no code. however, with such complex scenarios I recommend you check the repeater API .
Place a button in the repeater and show it only for free slots. When the user clicks on the button a Lightbox, or a different page, will be opened to book a rental/class.
Looking for a solution for the same problem! Even now 5 years later a solution is not there… even the beautifull event calendar does not work for this… How did you solve he problem then?
