Interval for Exceptions

Hello

is it possible to use an interval instead of creating an exception for each day.
Background: The restaurant has company holidays in an interval of x days. So it would be really helpful if they could only set the start date and the end date of the holiday and don’t have to set up each each day of the holiday as an exception. Internally the exceptions could be maybe store for each day.

E.g. The restaurant close from December, 24th to January, 6th it has to create 14 exceptions. If it could set up only the start and end date it would save time and therefore money because it hasn’t set up the other 13 days.

Kind regards

Hi @mumbomedia,

That sounds like a good idea. I’ve added an issue for it to the developer repo which you can follow here:

https://github.com/NateWr/restaurant-reservations/issues/92

I like the idea but have to say it’s not very high on my priority list, so I can’t promise it will be implemented soon. But it sounds like an obvious improvement so I hope to be able to get to it in the future.

Hi @natewr,

glad to hear that.
I have also some other customization wishes from our client on my agenda.
But these are planned for 2017 so this improvement is not on the top of my agenda, too.

Another wish from our client is to make the booking table view in the backend more clearer.
They want to group it by day, but I have no plan how to archieve it without altering the whole output.
I believe it is unpossible. Furthermore the filtering by name has to be grouped by name also.

Hi @mumbomedia,

One of my planned addons for the future is a more comprehensive table management addon. It will be built around a touch-friendly interface that’s designed for restaurant staff to more quickly manage bookings in-house, and should make it easier to get a run-down of bookings going on right this evening.

You can create your own custom filters for bookings if you want. The bookings data that is used to generate the table is loaded here:

https://github.com/NateWr/restaurant-reservations/blob/master/includes/WP_List_Table.BookingsTable.class.php#L883-L913

That passes arguments to the rtbQuery class which accepts arguments similar to WP_Query. You can learn more about that class here:

Hi @natewr,

thanks a lot for the useful information.
The output is displayed row for row as it is returning from the rtbQuery result set?

Hi @mumbomedia,

Yes, rtbQuery returns an array of rtbBooking objects. Each rtbBooking object is then passed to the column_default function to render the output for each column:

Hi @natewr,

thanks a lot for the useful information.
The implementation should no longer be a problem.

Tomorrow it is my last working day for 2016, so the implementation will be made after January, 9th 2017.

If there will be problems within the implementation, I will inform you asap.

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!
