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.
