I have a Booking Calendar Plugin for a Rentals Portal WP framework.
Every Registered User can create, modify, & delete their Posts (Rental listing) from this framework’s Front End forms.
The Booking Calendar Plugin is administered in the default WordPress Admin pages.
The Admin sees the Plugin Booking Calendar Options after clicking the left navigation menu that says “Booking Calendar”. The Admin can set various options for the Calendar that are then reflected as the master display options for all Calendars.
99% of WordPress plugins are meant to be solely administered by the Admin who always uses the WordPress Administration area.
Very few WordPress plugins ALSO have options for users other than the Admin or Super Admin roles to change and save. This particular Booking Calendar plugin has both the standard Admin settings, but a separate series of settings and options for Authors.
The USER when logged in to the Wp Admin view sees the same “Booking Calendar” in the left hand navigation Menu. When the User clicks this however, the User (Author role) sees a SUBSET of options to make their own calendars, name them, save them, modify them.
Then when each User edits or creates their own Posts the Visual Editor menu will display a dropdown selector to embed one of those calendars into their Post.
All of this, of course, is only seen inside Wp Admin.
Since the framework has a nice Front End for User to Submit and Edit their Posts, I would like to utilize this Plugin by “embedding the User interface” into the Rental Framework Front End forms.
Otherwise I have to create a link to the WP Admin area for logged in Users and then customize the Wp Admin view ALL to simply let them SEE the Booking Calendar and modify it for themselves, and make it look as much like the Front End form as possible. Doable, but clunky.
Is there a way that your Frontend Plugin can be modified to ALSO present the User Options of this Booking Calendar plugin inside the User Front end?
I hope I have explained this well enough to get an answer.
