Customize your schedules appearance or completely change the booking method on your site with Display Pack extension.

 

Customize your calendars

Booking Activities naturally offers the possibility to customize its booking system appearance via CSS and Javascript. Display Pack plugin allows you to go further in this customization and makes it easier to access. Indeed, you can set the display options directly from the “Calendar” field settings of your booking form, no technical knowledge is required.

A lot of new parameters for your calendars

Here are some examples of your new possibilities:

  • Hide you days off (e.g.: saturday and sunday) and improve your calendars readability
  • Your events are very long? Or on the contrary very short? Set the time indicators frequency and control the event size displayed on screen
  • Choose the available views and the default view according to the screen width (e.g.: display the “List – week” view on smartphone, and the “Time Grid – Week” view on desktop)
  • Set the number of days / months to be displayed on the same view
  • Set a fixed height for your calendars
  • Choose whether events taking place at the same time should visually overlap or stay side-by-side
  • Set a background image on your events!
  • etc…

 
Discover new ways to display your events!

Display events as a list
Display events as a list
  • “List”: events are rendered as a list split into days
  • “Time Grid”: all events are positioned on the calendar according to their start and end time
  • “Day Grid”: events are positioned one below the other but still keep a position based on their start and end time

 

Alternative booking method

Booking Activities plugin is distinguished by its one-click reservation system. Calendars and events are displayed directly to the users, and they just have to click on the desired event to book it. The Display Pack add-on however offers an alternative booking method to you and your visitors.

New booking method

You can opt for the “waterfall” booking system where you must first choose the date and then the time of the event. Of course, only dates with available events are selectable. This display is really interesting for activities with numerous short-duration events. Your calendars won’t look overcrowded anymore, and users will now have standard selection boxes.

Display date and time pickers instead of a calendar

Note that you will be able to set up a different booking method for each booking form.

 

Event tooltip

Display event information in a tooltip on mouseover, or below the calendar on click.

Display tooltip when you mouse over the event

You can set any text for each of your events / groups of events. HTML tags and shortcodes are supported. Additional tags will allow you to display event data such as starting date, title, remaining places…

Your customers will be able to see simply by hovering and / or selecting the event, for example:
– a Google Map to show where the event takes place
– the event participant list
– images and promotional description to illustrate the event
– information about this specific event (e.g.: “Meet the author this day!”)

 

Requirements

Display Pack is a Booking Activities add-on, so you will first need to install and activate Booking Activities plugin. Woocommerce-related features will automatically be activated when WooCommerce plugin will be installed and activated in conjunction with Booking Activities and Display Pack.
