Choose what to show
Open a class or event product in Booker and turn on List on the events calendar. Only classes and events with places can be listed. A room for hire has nothing to announce, so it stays private whatever else shares the room.
Link to the ready-made page
Your store already has the calendar as a page at /apps/booking/calendar, inside your theme so it looks like the rest of the site. Add it to your menu under Online Store, Navigation, and you are done. Nothing to build.
Or add the block to a page of your own
- 1Open the theme editor
Pick the page you want, for example a page called Events, or the home page.
- 2Add the Events calendar block
It is under Apps. Give it a heading and choose how many months ahead to show. Shoppers get a month grid, a strip of the months ahead, a legend of your classes in the colours from your calendar, and the sessions listed with places left.
- 3Set the words
The block has its own words for places left, Full, Book and so on, so you can put them in your own language.
What customers see
Each session shows the event name, its picture and a short description from the product, the time, and how many places are left. Book takes them to the product page to pick that session and pay. A full session says Full. Nobody sees who booked.
One room, events and hires
Put the room you hire out and the events you run in the same shared space. A private hire then blocks the events, a booked event blocks the hire, and the events calendar shows only the events. If you also show a Google Calendar on your site, turn on Keep bookings out of Google Calendar on the hire product so private bookings stay off it.
Good to know
Which plan?
Classes and events with places are on Pro, so the events calendar is a Pro feature. Sharing a room between a hire and your events is on Starter and up.
Do I have to edit my theme?
No. The calendar is already a page of your store at /apps/booking/calendar. Link to it from your menu. The block is for putting it on a page of your own with your own heading and words.
Can I list a room for hire?
No. The calendar lists classes and events with places. A hire is private.
Can I run a one-off event on a single date?
Yes. Under When can it be booked, choose Runs on set dates and add each date with its start and end time. The event is bookable on those dates and no other.
Does it show customer names?
Never. It shows the session and how many places are left.
