[RepEEt] Multiple booking calendars from single weblog
Development and Programming
Hi,
I’m in the middle of creating a holiday lettings site using Expression Engine and the RepEEt plugin. I’ve got it all working with one booking calendar… but what I was wondering is whether it is possible to power multiple booking calendars using the same weblog.
For example:
There is a weblog called Properties, which holds the letting properties. In this weblog there are 3 properties (A, B and C for example)
There is another weblog called Booking for the availability of the properties. What I would like is a drop down on the publish screen which will have “A”, “B”, “C” and depending on which one is selected it will add it to the relevant property.
I was thinking maybe the “search:” parameter or categories might be able to accomplish this?
Any help would be appreciated. 😊
Thanks

I know for a fact that categories will work for you; I’ve seen many examples of that implementation in place. The search parameter will probably work, too, but I haven’t seen it in action yet. If you take that route, be sure to let me know if it works for you.
Hi,
Thanks Mr. Wilson.
I might have a go at using categories. Would I simply put the category parameter in the EE tag?
Thanks
Right, just do your normal filtering in the exp:weblog:entries tag.
Hi,
Still having some problems with this.
I’ve tried adding a normal EE weblog tag with the category_group parameter but that doesn’t seem to work. Where should I add the category parameter? I’ve tried it before the RepEEt tags and after them.
Also, should there be any problem with having a weblog within a weblog? As I have the property weblog and within that I want to have the booking calendar.
Final question… Is there any other way to handle the next/back month on the calendar? AJAX maybe? At the moment when it changes the URL it messes up the other weblog.
Thanks 😊
I really need to get this site finished so any help anyone can give would really be appreciated.
