Hello Support Team,

The option “Business Hours” is not suitable for many purposes. Many companies, shops, etc. have seasonal opening hours.

However, I would like to use this field, because among other things I need the function of displaying the current status (Open/Close).

Is it possible for us to make an adjustment here and what would it cost?

Default would be:
– Display of the opening hours as it is currently done in GD.
– In the backend when entering the opening hours the selection from day/month to day/month is valid.

We need a maximum of three seasonal time slots spread over the year.

We work with the Elementor Page Builder and the extension Dynamic Content. For this reason it is already possible to display elements time-controlled.

!!! It would also be sufficient to have the possibility to create the business hours several times in the settings of the post type. !!!

Thanks a lot.

hi tm8gd,

Thanks for your post. Sorry, what you needed there isn’t something that is currently possible to achieve out of the box. Allow me to forward this to a developer for a second opinion.

Hello, Kor,
Yes please forward this to a developer. We need a solution here as soon as possible. We would not like to create an extra solution for the business hours and then have to maintain the data in two places.

As already written, there are many shops, companies, which have seasonal opening hours. Actually this function should be available directly in GeoDirectory, I think there are many buyers who would use it.

Thank you for your feedback, I am waiting for a developer’s answer.

Hi tm8gd,

As Kor said there is no way to manage the business field for seasonal entry.
but you can create the business hours several times in the settings using the below code.

Please use the following code snippet to make the business field for multiple uses.
follow these guidelines for adding custom code.
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/faq/customizing/#snippets
```
add_filter('geodir_custom_fields_predefined','geodir_custom_fields_predefined_callback', 10, 2);
function geodir_custom_fields_predefined_callback( $custom_fields, $post_type ){
    unset( $custom_fields['business_hours']['single_use'] );
	unset( $custom_fields['business_hours']['defaults']['single_use'] );
    return $custom_fields;
}
```
Thanks
Naveen

Hello Naveen,

I have tested your approach.

Yes, by inserting the filter in functions.php I can insert the predefined field “Business hours” several times in a post type (I am already satisfied with two times).

I name the field identifier then e.g. business_hours_2

If I want to create a new entry now, we will also display the two fields in the backend when we create it, but I cannot change anything for the first business hours (with the original field identifier (business_hours), the popup for setting hours and minutes does not appear. Even if I activate the field with “Yes”, then save the entry, this is set to “No” again and is therefore not activated.

With the second additionally added field everything works.

Here is a link to a video with a short screenshot.

Thanks for the help, maybe you can help me here. The solution would be to have the field “Business Hours” twice in one entry.

Hi tm8gd,

Sorry, I rechecked. the scripts for business hours field is not managed to make it work for multiple times.

We already have an improvement task for the business hours field. I have added a request. we are working on it, you can expect it in the future versions of geodirectory.
https://github.com/AyeCode/geodirectory/issues/1122

meanwhile, you can try https://geodirectoryexperts.com/ to build a customized business hours field.

Regards
Naveen

Hello Naveen,

thank you very much for the efforts, then I hope that this functionality will be available in future versions.

In the meantime, we will consider how to implement this.
