    My client wants me to explore the possibility of their lodging listings being able to display if they have availability a date range. Many f the locations book over the phone, so there doesn’t need to be a booking system. They would the business owner to be able to edit this somehow.

    I think the easiest way to approach this is with some sort of no vacancy field that can house multiple dates and is filterable with a date range in advanced search. A big ask I know.

    Things I’ve considered:
    • Building a multi select with all dates (cumbersome)
    • Using the events plugin somehow with a vacancy category that has an event tied to the locations. I then would hide that category from all the other event listings.
    • I don’t think custom post types will help here.

    Hello,

    We don’t have anything at the moment, you could add ahtml field and let users add a code snippets : https://www.brolmo.com/availability-calendar.php

    Or maybe a plugin could help: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?type=term&q=booking+calendar

    If you check out the Facebook group there are some interesting solutions discussed using Woo Commerce and their booking extension. I don’t have the link readily available but I can get it for you if you like.

    Thanks. I looked into something like brolmo but by client whats it to be filterable.

    Ideally this would be able to be in the advance search dropdown. similar to how the events work.

    @justmark – I’d like to see this woo commerce thing you mentioned.

    It uses the Woo Commerce and Dokan plugins.
