Embedding a yearly calendar

The Yearly Calendar

You can embed a yearly calendar that shows the availability for an entire year for a single calendar.

Embedding the yearly calendar

Same as embedding the calendar, the yearly calendar can be embedded via shortcode, or from a page builder module or widget such as Divi, Elementor or Gutenberg.

The parameters

Parameter	Values	Default	Description
`id`	the ID of the calendar	none	This will let the shortcode know which calendar to embed. You can find your calendar IDs in WP Booking System → Calendars
`form_id`	the ID of the form	`0`	This will let the shortcode know which form to attach to the calendar. You can find your form IDs in WP Booking System → Forms. Calendars can be embedded without a form, in which case it won’t allow the customer to make bookings, the calendar will just display the availability.
`title`	`yes/no`	`yes`	Displays the calendar title as a heading above the calendar
`legend`	`yes/no`	`yes`	Displays the calendar’s legend items
`legend_position`	`side/top/bottom`	`side`	The position of the calendar legend. Can be to the side of the calendar, above the calendar or below the calendar.
`year`	`0` or `1970-2100`	`0`	The starting year of the calendar. 0 (zero) means the current year will be displayed.
`language`	`auto` or `2 letter language code`	`auto`	The language in which to display the calendar and form. With `auto` the plugin tries to detect your website’s language automatically.
`dropdown`	`yes/no`	`yes`	Display the month navigation dropdown in the first calendar
`history`	`1,2,3`	`1`	Handles the past dates in the calendar. 1 – show all booking history 2 – replace history with the default legend item 3 – grey out past dates
`tooltip`	`1,2,3`	`1`	Handles the tooltips in the calendar 1 – disable tooltips 2 – enable tooltips 3 – enable tooltips and show a red indicator for dates containing a tooltip
`highlighttoday`	`yes/no`	`no`	Highlight today’s date in the calendar
`show_prices`	`yes/no`	`no`	Show the daily price for each day. Only works if pricing is enabled.
`form_position`	`side/bottom`	`bottom`	The position of the booking form
`auto_pending`	`yes/no`	`yes`	Handles what happens to the booked dates after the booking is made. If set to `yes`, the dates will be marked as unavailable in order to prevent double bookings. If the Inventory add-on is installed, the dates will be marked as unavailable only when the inventory reaches 0.
`selection_type`	`single/multiple`	`multiple`	Handles the date selection in the calendar. The `multiple` option is used for selecting a date range by requiring the customer to click on the starting date and the ending date. The `single` option selects one day with a single click.
`selection_style`	`normal/split`	`split`	Handles the date selection style. The `normal` parameter selects full days, while the `split` parameter marks the starting and ending days of the selection as half days or changeover days. When using pricing, `normal` counts days and `split` counts nights.
`minimum_days`	`any positive integer`	`0`	Sets a restriction for the minimum days that must be booked. If the Booking Restrictions add-on is installed, this parameter is ignored.
`maximum_days`	`any positive integer`	`0`	Sets a restriction for the maximum days that must be booked. If the Booking Restrictions add-on is installed, this parameter is ignored.
`booking_start_day`	`1-7`	`0`	Sets a restriction for the day of the week on which the booking can start. 0 = disabled, 1-7 = Monday-Sunday. If the Booking Restrictions add-on is installed, this parameter is ignored.
`booking_end_day`	`1-7`	`0`	Sets a restriction for the day of the week on which the booking can end. 0 = disabled, 1-7 = Monday-Sunday. If the Booking Restrictions add-on is installed, this parameter is ignored.
`show_date_selection`	`yes/no`	`no`	Show the start date and end date of the date selection made in the calendar at the beginning of the booking form.
