Cancel user booking from code

[saagark22]

Is there any hook/action/function we can use to cancel user booking from the code?

I have grabbed the booking ID in a variable in the code. So something like hpCancelBooking(Booking ID); will also help.

Remember, this cancellation should also trigger relevant cancellation email notifications.

If you already for the booking object:

$booking=\HivePress\Models\Booking::query()->get_by_id(123);

You can cancel booking by changing its status to trash:

$booking->trash();

Or this way:

$booking->set_status('trash')->save_status();

Thanks Ihor,

I’m actually building a custom plugin to extend the functionality of Hivepress for my website.

Now question is, will $booking=\HivePress\Models\Bookings::query()->get_by_id(123); be available on my plugin. Or first I need to include some files from Hivepress in my plugin?

[ihor]

Yes, it will be available if HivePress plugin is also active, you can add a function_exists('hivepress') check before any HivePress-specific code to prevent errors if HivePress accidentally gets deactivated.

If you’ve created this custom plugin to customize HivePress, the best way is to structure it as a HivePress extension, then all the related files will be loaded automatically https://docs.hivepress.io/developer-docs/tutorials/create-a-custom-hivepress-extension

Thanks Ihor for getting back.

Both plugins Hivepress and Hivepress booking are activated but still I get error

Fatal error : Uncaught Error: Class “HivePress\Models\Bookings”

[ihor]

Sorry, it seems that I used “Bookings” in the snippet instead of “Booking”, this one should be ok:

$booking=\HivePress\Models\Booking::query()->get_by_id(123);

[saagark22]

Yes, I tried with booking but now it works from functions.php but not from custom plugin.

Could you please help further?

[ihor]

Make sure that your plugin is loaded later than HivePress, you can do this by running your code on init action:

add_actuion('init', 'my_custom_function');

function my_custom_function() {
// custom code here
}

[saagark22]

When I fetch anything from booking object such as:
$listingTitle = $booking->get_listing()->get_title();

I get error
Fatal error : Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method WP_Error::get_id()

[ihor]

Maybe this booking has no linked listing? It’s better to check if the object exists first:

$listing=$booking->get_listing();

if($listing) {
// ...
}
