    Hi,

    I need to know whether Appointment Booking Calendar can fulfil most of my spec:

    Volunteer Schedule for a community farm: http://www.ozcf.co.za/

    Admin creates activities (eg. weeding, digging etc.)
    Admin specifies activities as time slots to be volunteered for
    (eg. digging, Saturday 9am to 11am)

    Single activity can be specified as multiple overlapping time slots
    (eg. digging, Saturday 9am to 11am x 2; and digging, Saturday 11am to 1pm)

    Activities can be fixed-duration or open-duration
    Activities can be once-off or recurring

    Volunteer users can sign-up (Admin moderated) and sign-in
    Volunteer can see available time slots on a front-end calendar
    Volunteer can book time slots on the front-end calendar
    All slots should always show, with unavailable slots showing as having been taken
    Volunteer can edit / delete own time slots
    Volunteer can log actual time worked (as opposed to booked time)
    Volunteers can see their own log
    Admin can edit any volunteer’s time slots
    Admin can see all logs and export as CSV

    Would all or some of this be possible with Appointment Booking Calendar?
    If not all, then are there possible work-arounds or any other suggestions?

    Many thanks,
    Simon Barnett

    Hi Simon,

    These features are supported:

    – Admin creates activities (eg. weeding, digging etc.)
    – Admin specifies activities as time slots to be volunteered for (eg. digging, Saturday 9am to 11am)
    – Volunteer can see available time slots on a front-end calendar
    – Volunteer can book time slots on the front-end calendar
    – All slots should always show, with unavailable slots showing as having been taken
    – Volunteer can CANCEL own time slots
    – Admin can edit any volunteer’s time slots
    – Admin can see all logs and export as CSV

    Regarding to these features, note that only the initial time of the slot is managed by the calendar, I mean, the duration of the event isn’t managed by the calendar:

    – Single activity can be specified as multiple overlapping time slots (eg. digging, Saturday 9am to 11am x 2; and digging, Saturday 11am to 1pm)
    – Activities can be fixed-duration or open-duration

    These features aren’t supported:

    – Automatic recurrent activities
    – Edit own time slots by volunteer
    – log actual time worked (as opposed to booked time)
    – see their own log (by Volunteers)

    This feature (create a WP user) is out of the scope of the plugin (can be requested through a custom coding service or implemented separately by yourself):

    – Volunteer users can sign-up (Admin moderated) and sign-in

    Thank you for your interest in the plugin!

    Thanks for the detailed response!
    We ended up buying EventEspresso which I’m testing now, but I’ve taken the fact that this plugin supports many of our required features into consideration.
    Kind regards,
    Simon
