Create a booking system
i was wondering whether there would be a way that I could build a booking system into my perch site.
Say a course is running with 10 places available and they can buy a place on this course.

The two Shop apps have inventory management.
thats great would there be a way of making one product/course available of particular dates? selectable from a calendar?
You could possibly use the Events app for the calendar.
Thanks for the help i will look into this, so is it the possible to link these two apps together?
What sort of linking did you have in mind?
If i had events in the calendar, i would want to be able to sell places to these events (so they are coursesa and they may be 10 places available)
You'd probably need to add a reference for the product to the event entry - but then you could output them together.
I am not sure how would i do this?
Just add a field to the event. Put the product ID or slug into it.
As this post is 2 years old, and the Perch Shop is now much better than it once was, I wondered how one would going about a booking system nowadays?
In my example, I have an item to be "booked out" by users on specific dates/times (obviously the item will then be unavailable during these times). I just wondered what is the best way to pull this "booking" data from the website users? Via the shop? Or possibly via a form?
If neither is straightforward, I may just look to use events and combine this with some custom PHP/SQL "booking" scripts.
Angie - please start a new thread. This thread refers to the old shop apps, and is two years old, the OP probably doesn't want notification of updates to a two year old thread :)
