[Plugin: Appointment Calendar] Suggestion

Hi,

Thanks for the nice words.

Could you elaborate a bit more. Could you give me an example of this scenario?

I think he means having a buffer between appointments, so that no booking can be made for at least – say – half an hour after the ending time of the previous appointment.

@pdorzak perhaps you can look into increasing the minimum time-slot as a quick solution, to factor your travel time in the booking duration.
But you’d then to explain to your customers that they’ll be charged with half an hour less or something … not a very elegant solution but still better than failing to show up on time.

OK.. Point Noted. Future version will have a feature for adding Cool-Down time between consecutive appointments.

@pdorzak: For the time being you can try adding “Travel event” in between appointments.

Example: Lets assume that it takes 1 hour to travel and you have an appointment from 2 PM to 4 PM on 10th January.

Go to the Appointment->Event and create a 1 hour event from 4PM to 5 PM and name it Travelling / Busy / Meeting etc. So new clients will see the one hour slot as Not Available. Only thing is that the event needs to be created every-time after the appointment.

I know its cumbersome but it should to the trick for now. We will cool-down feature in upcoming versions.

Would you mind sharing the website on which this plugin is used?
