How to Install Book a Room Plugin, Manually

Installation requires a few, simple steps after you have initially installed the plugin. You can configure further but these are the simplest things you can do to get things running.

  • Create a page for Reservations and a page for the Event Calendar.
    • On the Meeting Room Page, the content should be the shortcode [meetingRooms]
    • On the Event Calendar (which can run on another sub-domain), use the shortcode [showCalendar]
  • Enter the page URLS.
    • Go to Meeting Room Settings > Settings.
    • Add the URL for your Meeting Room page and Event Calendar pages in the appropriate boxes.
    • Add everything after your site’s URL including a trailing and leading slash. For instance, if your Meeting Room page is http://meetings.heightslibrary.org/reserve-a-meeting-room/, then you would enter /reserve-a-meeting-room/ into the form.
    • If you are hosting the event calendar on a separate page, please use the complete URL in the Event Calendar box.
  • Enter an Email into the Default Email for Daily reservations.
    • This email will be the default on the daily reports.
  • Enter pricing.
    • Enter the deposit and per increment costs for profit and non-profit rooms.
  • Create some amenities.
    • If you have amenities available, go to the Amenities Admin and create a new amenity. Things that are checked ‘Reservable’ would be items that can be brought into the room like a TV, Blu-Ray player or Whiteboard. Things that always in the room, like a sink, microwave, fridge or PA system would not have to be reservable.
  • Create a branch
    • Go to Meeting Room Settings > Branch Admin.
    • Add a branch.
      • You must fill in a name, address and map link.
      • Make sure that Available to the public is checked.
      • If you want to be able to schedule events that don’t have a specific room, check Has ‘No Location’
      • For a closed day, do not enter hours. Otherwise, enter start and closing times for the branch.
  • Create a room.
    • Rooms are actual, physical spaces. Create one for each space, even if you can partition rooms together to form a larger room.
    • Go to Meeting Room Settings > Room Admin.
    • Click Create a new room.
    • Enter the room name, select the branch and choose any amenities, then submit.
  • Create a room container.
    • Room Containers are reservable spaces and are made up of one or more rooms. If you have a Room A and a Room B, but can also turn them into one large meeting room, you would make 3 containers. One for Room A, one for Room B and one containing both.
    • Go to Meeting Room Settings > Containers Admin.
    • Click Add a new container next to the name of the branch you want this room container to reside.
    • Enter a container name. This can be simple, like “Room A”, or more descriptive, like “Room A & B” or “John Doe Room” if the area is named.
    • Enter the max occupancy.
    • Clicking public means that this room is available to be reserved by the public, not just for staff events.
    • Clicking Hide on daily? will remove it from the daily schedules. This is useful for staff reservable areas like art galleries and display cases that you want to track but not take up space on daily reports or signs.
    • Choose at least one room to be inside the container.
  • Misc. data.
    • you will need to enter appropriate email addresses and customize the emails on the Email Admin page.
    • You will need to enter your meeting room contract on the Content Admin page.
    • If you have any closings for holidays or other reasons, you can enter them on the Closing Admin screen.
  • Configure the Event Calendar plugin.
    • Go to Settings > Event Settings. This is in the regular WordPress settings options.
    • Create a random security key. I usually just mash the keyboard.
    • Enter the database information from the site that you installed the main Book a Room plugin.

This is the minimum required to get the plugin up and running. You can get more information about other settings and features in the rest of this documentation.
