## Description

Do It Simply Booking Dropdown Dates replaces the WooCommerce Bookings calendar with
a simple dropdown of upcoming dates on a per-product basis. When a customer picks
a date, the plugin fills in Bookings’ own date, time, and resource fields — so pricing,
availability, and add-to-cart all work as normal.

#### Features

 * Enable the dropdown per product with a single checkbox.
 * Custom placeholder label (default: “Choose a date”).
 * **Option label** setting per product: resource name + date / resource name only/
   date only.
 * Live space counts shown next to each date.
 * Fully booked or unavailable dates shown but disabled.
 * Multi-day courses only offer valid start dates.
 * Timed products list every valid start time Bookings offers on that day.
 * Respects before/after booking buffers.
 * Uses the site’s WordPress date and time formats.
 * Fully translatable; text domain `do-it-simply-booking-dropdown-dates`.
 * HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) compatible.

#### Requirements

 * WooCommerce
 * **WooCommerce Bookings** (premium extension — not available on WordPress.org)

If WooCommerce Bookings is not active, the plugin shows an admin notice and loads
nothing else.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `do-it-simply-booking-dropdown-dates` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin in **Plugins › Installed Plugins**.
 3. Open a WooCommerce Bookings product, go to the **General** tab, and tick **Show
    dates as a dropdown**.
 4. Optionally enter a custom placeholder label.
 5. Optionally choose an **Option label** style.
 6. Save the product.

## FAQ

### Does this replace the calendar on all products?

No. You enable the dropdown per product using the checkbox on the product’s General
tab.

### Where do the dates come from?

From the product’s own Bookings availability rules. Global site-wide rules are not
used to generate dates. Timed products list every valid start time Bookings offers
on that day.

### My resource names already contain the date. How do I avoid showing it twice?

Set **Option label** to **Resource name only**. The date is omitted from the label.

### Does it work with products that have customer-selectable resources?

The feature is implemented — the dropdown hides the resource selector and sets the
resource automatically. It has not yet been fully tested; use with caution.

### I’m switching from the earlier private version (WooBooking-Dropdown-coursedates). Will my product settings be kept?

Yes. This plugin uses the same settings keys, so existing products keep their configuration.
Deactivate the old plugin before activating this one.
