KeymasterHi Akram,
Please give us some time to answer your ticket. Your ticket was submitted at 2:37 AM and I'm answering now.
Can you provide more details on the meaning of time slots you're trying to create? Are there any rules for time slots?
October 21, 2019 at 11:50 AM #16625ParticipantHi,
Thank you for reply sorry for my quicky aplroach as my client is co firming if I will be able to do this or not etc ... so i need solution quickly.
Scenario is that I will have 7 day selections from Monday to Sunday.
Now lets say client selects Monday as 10am to 10pm as start and end time along with any break like 15 minutes etc ... once he/she saves it should generate timeslots as per selection feom 10am to 10pm which will be used for booking in the website.
I seen a lot documentation but was unable to grab how I can do this ? But I am sure metabox io can do thus because for me it dies every thing when ever needed. But honestly this time I have stuck and have no clue what to do ...
Once monday done client can add his/her time slots for each day or can set a day as off fully as well ...
Thanks
October 21, 2019 at 11:54 AM #16627ParticipantIf client choses 10am as start time ... 12am as end time and says he needs 8 slots and rest time may be 10 minuts and clicks create slots button slots should be created.
Slots will be like
10am 10:15am
10:15m 10:30am
10:30am 10:45am
10:45am 11:00am11:00am 11:15am
11:15am 11:30am
11:30am 11:45am
11:45am 12:00amIts 8 slots done ... and we may adjust rest time in it as well then our slot period may become 10 minutes or whatever etc ... this is requirements
October 21, 2019 at 11:58 AM #16628KeymasterIf your clients want to set time slots for each day, then you can use Meta Box Group to do that, something like this (this is a group field):
[ 'type' => 'group', 'name' => 'Time Slots', 'clone' => true, 'fields' => [ [ 'id' => 'start', 'type' => 'time', 'name' => 'Start', ], [ 'id' => 'end', 'type' => 'time', 'name' => 'End', ], ], ]Then you can get the slots in the front end for your booking app:
echo '<select>'; $slots = rwmb_meta( 'slots' ); foreach ( $slots as $k => $slot ) { echo '<option value="' . $k . '">' . $slot['start'] . ' - ' . $slot['end'] . '</option>'; } echo '</select>';Some notes: Your problem is very specific and what I'm trying to help you here is just an idea how to do that. This is out of the support scope. So, please understand it's might not a correct/final solution.
October 21, 2019 at 12:02 PM #16630ParticipantYes I already came with this but the issue client may add time slots duplicate I think. Because if he/she has to pick time from a drop down then he she may chose same time again ... is there any way to avoid it ? But this will also be time consuming for user to create those things manually ... just provide me this solution as well so I can take a final decision ... really nice thought and yes I was right metabox io does every thing for me ... yayyyy 🙂
October 21, 2019 at 2:02 PM #16631Keymasteris there any way to avoid it ?
I'm afraid not. You might need to work on jQueryUI date picker to prevent this from happening.
But this will also be time consuming for user to create those things manually
You can also set the default value for groups. See the docs for details: https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-group/#setting-default-group-values
November 19, 2019 at 2:15 PM #16993ParticipantHi,
As per your solution I got to try it out and here I am right now.
But it shows my group field out side tab in mess. I just want to do like this:
On tab I have left styled tabed with days like Monday, Tuesday up to Sunday. On each day Under that I have group field I will have start time and end time that field will be clone able. So, users can put their time and add new fields. In same way I will have fields for each day. That will take less space but I am unable to do so far. Kindly check my code and make it done for me.
Thanks again for this awesome product
