This was initially created for The Foundery Toronto.
Users of this system need to have a login/password on your website.
The Wordpress User status of these users is up to you. You add users from the Wordpress admin panel Users -> Add New. Wordpress lets you choose Subscriber, Contributor, Author, Editor, Administrator as different user status types.
In order to try out this plugin on your Wordpress website, download the .zip folder and then upload it to your website using Plugins -> Add New -> Upload plugin from the Wordpress admin panel.
The plugin, when activated, will present a menu link in your admin panel showing a small red fire icon.
The first submenu link is THE FOUNDERY. This page lets you adjust the time parameters for your system and set up the data on spaces that are available to your co-working members.
Open and Close times -What time, in a 24 hour clock cycle, is the space open for business?
Hourly segmentations -Set to 15 minute or 30 minute segments
Status categories for your members: Hotdesk Dedicated Part time Office Guest Staff Event
- Set the number of hours per day these members status levels can book.
Enter data to describe the different boardroom, event and shared spaces that are available for reservation to your co-work space members.
The Second menu link is FOUNDERY PERMS. This page lets you assign members on your Wordpress website to a status level based upon their membership in your co-work space. The 8 status levels I have created are based upon what The Foundery in Toronto used. I can change these and customise them to your needs if you require that. The "banned" category is for people who have been expelled; I hope you do not need to use it. The other seven categories are self-explanatory. You can re-purpose them as you like by adjusting the number of hours they are allotted in the first menu link.
The third menu link FOUNDERY LOGS shows what has been booked in the system. You can truncate this log and that will remove a booking from the system for any member. I need to develop more features on this page and will update these files when I get to it.
When your Foundery Calendar System is activated you will see a small blue representation of ⊖
This appears on the right side of the viewport in the middle of the page. The CSS code for this is found in the css/style.css file at line 8[ #fndry_launcher ]. When users click on this icon the calendar appears. The first room entered into the Foundery DB System is automatically selected and the current week is shown. Click the days of the week to drop-down the booking segments. Click on the bell icons to book a segment.
