Add custom booking status

[Kamil Konečný]

Hello Stephen,
I have question about possibility to define custom statuses of bookings. Generally I have course registration and sometimes the participants not finish the course in defined period so we have to invite him to post course.
For me will be very usefull if I can define custom booking statuses like “Course started” “Course completed”. Is there some way to do it?

Thanks a lot Kamil

Hi Kamil,

Yes you can register custom booking statuses. The function is essentially a wrapper for register_post_status (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_post_status/)., but with two additional flags: whether the status should be considered “confirmed” (i.e. the booking is confirmed) and whether it should “reserve” spaces (e.g. depending on setttings, the ‘pending’ status might reserve bookings but such a booking is not considered confirmed).

add_action('init', function(){

    if (!function_exists('eo_register_booking_status')) {
        return;
    }

    eo_register_booking_status('course_strated', array(
        'label' => "Course started",
        'include_in_confirmed' => true,
        'reserve_spaces' => true,
        'show_in_admin_all_list' => true,
        'show_in_admin_status_list' => true,
    ));

});

However, please note that there appears to be an issue in that custom statuses aren’t picked up on the bookings admin page filter. I’ll look into that.

Thanks a lot Stephen,
If you will find how to filter bookees by the custom statuses it will be very helpfull for us.

   Have a nice day Kamil

That should be fixed in the next version of Pro (3.3.0), which I’ll release later this week.
