• How can we edit the text of the generated email appointment confirmation going out to clients?

    This is necessary for several reasons, not the least of which are several typographical errors in the message format.

    It would also be nice to be able to customize and format the email, but this is less critical than the typos.

    Great little plug-in that may just serve us for our needs for the time being. Thanks~!

    Hi Ashokan,

    Thanks for kind words.

    You could customize notification mails through editing one of file.

    Here the instruction:

    1. Locate file appointment-calendar-shortcode.php in plugin dir

    2. From line no. 52 to 210 we have coded about notification sending procedures with subject and message body. Find notification subjects and body there and customize according to you.

    Sorry for typos & language. We are going to revamped plugin by this week and hope for next release will be less buggy.

    Thanks

    Hi Frank;

    All good, my friend. I can tell that English is perhaps not your first language and so syntax and grammar is forgiven.
    Heck, we have plenty of “English speaking” folks who have a harder time with the English language grammar and syntax!

    This plug-in is excellent from what we have seen so far for a simple, basic, no frills scheduler.
    Even the free version is just about what is needed and we’ll be testing and playing with it ASAP.

    Thanks for the code access tips. I’ll be going in and customizing our email notifications right away.
    Meanwhile it is also great to have a developer who is listening and actively working on updates!

    Since hacking into the PHP code is typically not for the end user (site owner), it would be very helpful to have Template Files easily accessible to the site owner for editing.

    File Templates that would be useful for the site owner to have access to might include;
    1. Pop up window for Schedule An Appointment (“Special Instruction” could or should be changed to “Special Instructions” or perhaps something customizable by the site owner, like “Comments” or “Additional Notes”, “Additional Requests”, etc.).
    2. Email notifications need to be easily editable so that the site owner could easily customize the Template using their own unique language (may depend on the service that they are providing).

    One more thing is that even though we have changed our Calendar Settings Start Day to Sunday, the Admin View still starts on Monday (though the public, site view begins properly on Sunday).

    I’m giving this plug-in a big Thumbs Up as a work in progress and will comment more as we continue to use and test.
    Thanks SO much for your hard work. This is much appreciated.

    Hi Adch,

    User Appointment URL: where you added short code [APCAL] in any Page or Post.

    View Page Or Post and copy the URL.

    Thanks
    Frank

    Hi Adch,

    So, do you want to User can edit his appointments through any User URL?

    Currently, we don’t have User Editing feature. But It’s possible to provide this feature with our plugin. That’s why we have an extra appointments detail fields appointment key for each appointment.

    This feature in our to do list. And am promising to add It in upcoming version.

    Thanks
    Frank

    Yeah this is what i want, i will be waiting for your update version.

    But till then can you give me an idea how to use the appointment key so i can give access to the user to edit his appointment?
    A use will be able to edit it on frontpage or on his “admin area”?

    Thanks a lot for your help
