Google Cal Sync – WCFM – Marketplace, WC Appointments for vendors and stuff

[BTK]

Hello colleagues,

I am testing WCFM – Marketplace plugin so I could potentially switch from Product Vendors plugin to WCFM – Marketplace. I am also running WC Appointments plugin and WCFM Ultimate and WCFM Groups plugin on site.

Let me ask you about findings:
1. Is there a Google calendar integration enabled for store vendor?
2. Is there a Google calendar integration enabled for stuff? So each vendor stuff would be able to synchronize their own calendars

If not when would see this as a implemented feature in WCFM Marketplace?

Looking forward to your replay.

BR,
m.

Hi BTK

yes, the WC appointments plugin integrates with google calendar so that staff can sync there calendar for bookings, this sync can be set to oneway only your store to google, or two way syncing your store to google and from goole to your store.

however

This does not work out of the box for vendors, to achieve this vendor need to be given staff role, this can be achieved with this code snippet

//Calendar Sync For vendors - Add Straff Role
add_action( 'wcfmmp_new_store_created', function( $member_id, $wcfmmp_settings ) {
$member_user = new WP_User(absint($member_id));
$member_user->add_role('shop_staff'); 
update_user_meta( $member_id, '_wcfm_vendor', $member_id);
}, 50, 2 );

however

I have found an issue with the code above, more details can be found with this link
https://wclovers.com/forums/topic/issue-with-new-vendors/

so I would advise against using this as a workaround until it’s been resolved

Hi Mate

as per the screenshot

but first, you will need to connect your account in the woocomerce settings section

HI,

1. Is there a Google calendar integration enabled for store vendor?
2. Is there a Google calendar integration enabled for stuff? So each vendor stuff would be able to synchronize their own calendars

– Yeah sure, it’s already there.

add_action( ‘wcfmmp_new_store_created’, function( $member_id, $wcfmmp_settings ) {
$member_user = new WP_User(absint($member_id));
$member_user->add_role(‘shop_staff’);
update_user_meta( $member_id, ‘_wcfm_vendor’, $member_id);
}, 50, 2 );

– This code only require when you will want to check appointment availability by vendor!

Thank You

Hi,
i’m not sure I understand. When you say,
1. Is there a Google calendar integration enabled for store vendor?
2. Is there a Google calendar integration enabled for stuff? So each vendor stuff would be able to synchronize their own calendars

– Yeah sure, it’s already there.”

We provide offices for our clients, and each office is used by other clients. To make sure the availability is good, we need to synchronize each the Resources via Google Calendar, I don’t see this option.

Can you tell me more about it?
Thank you in advance

– Do you have added “office” as vendor and “clients” as staff for them?

Thank You

Thank you for your response.

But after looking in your documentation, I can’t find anything that talks about Google calendar syncing.

Could you send me a link that explains how to set this up, or give me the process?

Another point, my vendors don’t have access to the Calendar view (seen by month / day / etc), they only have access to the list view, I can’t find how to activate this option, can you help me?

Thank you in advance for your feedback
Francis
