I am building an Events Listing Website, I am using the listings attribute Date to allow users to select a date (ideally a range), I enable “allow setting time”. In the search section of this attribute I am able to select the field type “date range”. The Event listings I will be working with (shows) will run for multiple days or weeks. When entering a new Event, the date attribute only allows the user to select one date, not a range. I understand this topic was asked about in March of '23. Has there been any new development on this topic or workaround, i.e., an event extension developed? Events will be displayed on a calendar running for multiple days, and when a user is searching for an event, I would like any available events to show on all days the show runs for, regardless if the event starts and ends before or after the searched date.
I am using Hivepress because the paid portion of the site will have items listed for sale and a vendor services directory, which all vendors will use to list events, items, and directory listings. You have an excellent solution that is lightweight for a fast-running site.
Hi,
Unfortunately, there were no updates on this side, so this will require a custom implementation.
Thank you for your reply. Can you please contact me and explain the custom integration needed to achieve the date range feature. Will it be something I can accomplish?
I have considered using the Booking module to achieve this feature. Without purchasing and finding, it will not accomplish this task. Can I ask if you feel it will allow for an event to be scheduled for a period of time, 2 days to a week? I ask after reading a question which indicated, when using the bookings module, when a booking is created, the booking shows as available indefinitely, and if you wish for it to only show for a period of time, not available say after a certain date, you would have to select those dates and mark them as not available. I am not sure if this would work for an extended period of time into the future.
Thank you
Hi,
Yes, you can try to use Bookings and block dates manually or with booking restrictions How to add booking restrictions - HivePress Help Center, but most likely you will need additional custom implementation. Unfortunately, there are no simple recommendations here, as this will require detailed research on the part of the plugin you want to integrate and its documentation.
