The event selection

WirdThe synchronisiertfirst …step of every backend booking is the event selection. It shows only events that really are bookable — and only from the calendars you have enabled in the plugin options.

What appears in the list

An event appears when all of the following apply:

It is in an enabled calendar (subcalendars do not count automatically). It lies in the future, within the period configured in the options (default: 365 days). Its registration window is open — DPCalendar's registration start and end apply in the backend as well. It is not fully booked — unless it has a waiting list, in which case it stays bookable and is marked accordingly.

The columns

Eventtitle, supplemented where applicable by the markers series and waiting list (see below) Datedate and time in the format of your DPCalendar configuration Calendarthe calendar of the event Occupancy"12 of 20 taken" or unlimited if no capacity limit is set

Filters

Above the list you find a filter bar:

Search event — full-text search in title and description. With id:123 you jump straight to an event ID. Calendar — appears only if more than one calendar is enabled. Location — filters by the DPCalendar locations. From / to — narrows the period.

Recurring events

How a series appears in the list is determined by the DPCalendar setting book series of the respective event:

Book the whole series: the series appears as one row with the marker series. One booking covers the complete series. Individual dates bookable (default): every date appears as a row of its own — you book one specific date.

Waiting list

If an event is full but has a waiting list, it stays bookable and carries the marker waiting list. In the booking form the status is then preselected as waiting, so the event is not overbooked by accident. When a place frees up, simply change the status of the booking in the DPCalendar booking overview.

When the list gets long

The list shows at most as many entries as configured in the option max. list entries (default: 100). When the limit is reached, a notice points it out — narrow the list down using the filters instead of paging through it.
