Occupancy Plan

Occupancy Plan provides schedules for sports facilities, rooms, courts, halls and other shared resources. Create schedules in WordPress and publish each with a shortcode.

Visitors can browse available periods without reloading the complete page. Depending on the schedule configuration and their permissions, guests or logged-in users can create bookings, view details and manage existing bookings directly in the frontend.

Usage

Create a schedule in Occupancy Plan in the WordPress administration area. The schedule ID is shown in the schedule overview. Add the shortcode to a page or post:

[occupancy_plan id="1"]

The id attribute is required. The following optional attributes are supported:

• mode: daily, weekly, monthly or yearly (default: weekly); use weekly! to force the weekly view even with many sub-courts
• weekdays: visible weekdays as digits from 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday), for example 12345
• showheader: set to false to hide the frontend navigation header
• shortweekdays: set to true to use abbreviated weekday names
• weeks: 1 or 2 consecutive weeks in weekly mode (default: 1); navigation advances by one week
• monthpicker: set to true to replace the week field and date range with the compact monthly week picker (default: false)
• calendar: set to true to show protected iCalendar actions to occupancy managers
• columns: number of month columns in the yearly view (default: 3)
• theme: classic, modern, cards, minimal or dark (default: classic)

Examples:

[occupancy_plan id="1" mode="weekly" weekdays="12345" shortweekdays="true"]

[occupancy_plan id="1" mode="weekly" weeks="2" monthpicker="true" calendar="true"]

[occupancy_plan id="1" mode="daily"]

[occupancy_plan id="1" theme="modern"]

[occupancy_plan id="1" theme="cards" weeks="2"]
