Only allow appointments for a few weeks in advance.

Hi Alex,

thanks for the great app, saved me a lot of time! =)

Is there any way to restrict creating new appointments more than 4 weeks in advance?

Any ideas how this could be added?

Hi! You can modify the application/controllers/Appointments.php file and the ajax_get_available_providers method to turn the book advance timeout into days instead of minutes.

I'll mark this request as a feature request that can be integrated in a future release.

I second this feature. I want to have bookings for no more then 2 weeks in advance.
Any news on this feature? Or some example how to modify it would be great..

Many thanks!

Hi everyone!
I have pasted the code below into /application/controllers/Appointments.php underneath the code that removes appointments too close to now. (Commented with "//If the selected date is today, remove past hours.......")

// If the selected day is beyond the advance booking limit hide all time-slots

if (date('Y-m-d', strtotime($this->input->post('selected_date'))) >= date('Y-m-d',mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m") , date("d") + 14, date("Y"))))
            {
                foreach ($available_hours as $index => $value)
                {
                        unset($available_hours[$index]);
                }
            }

14 is the number of days, change this to suit your requirements. Hopefully, alextselegidis will be able to do this much better than me and add it as a variable we can change via the interface.

@Connor1st thanks for posting your solution.

I also agree that a future release must include better configuration possibilities from the backend settings page.
