The “Global allowed times” functionality in the InputWP plugin allows you to define specific time slots that are globally applicable to all weekdays. These defined times serve as default options for users and override the time step setting. It’s a convenient way to offer users pre-defined time options while maintaining control within the minimum and maximum time range.
How to use
- Accessing the Feature:
- Log in to your WordPress admin panel.
- Navigate to “InputWP” in the left-hand menu.
- Click on “All Events.”
- Locate the event for which you want to set global allowed times.
- Click on “View Details” under the “Time picker” section of the event.
- Defining Global Allowed Times: On the event details page, within the “Time picker” section, you will find an input field labeled “Global allowed times” In this field, you can define the specific time slots that should be applicable to all weekdays.
- Time Format and Separators: Enter the allowed times in the same format as the time format set in the “Date Format” functionality. Separate the times using commas. For example: “09:00,11:00,12:00,21:00”
- Within Minimum and Maximum Times: The defined times should still fall within the minimum and maximum times you’ve set in the basic settings of the plugin.
- Saving Changes: After defining the global allowed times, click on the “Update” button to save the changes you’ve made, including the global allowed times setting.
