Users Manual

To show the operating hours of a shop on your website you have to create a „store” record first. This record contains a rich text field that allows you to show your operating hours in a „human” readable form, additionally you can define operating hours that help the frontend plugin to determine wether the store is currently open. When you include the frontend plugin on a page you can select this record in the plugin configuration.

Regular operating hours

Regular operating hours define the default store hours. You can have multiple entries of this type to allow for different operating hours on days. Given that your store is open from 9 to 5 from monday to friday with a lunch break from 1 to 2pm with an exception for wednesdays where you already close at 1.

Special events

You can add entries for dates when there are special operating hours. To do that you need to add an entry to the opening hours that has the „Regular hours” box unchecked. You can then pick the date when these hours will be in effect. Add the times when the store is operating as usual. Entries of this type will override all other configured times including holidays.

Holidays

The tab „Holidays” allows you to configure holidays when the normal operating hours are not in effect. You can select from a preconfigured list of german national holidays. Just tick the boxes for the days when your store will be closed.

Tip

You can configure custom dates when your store is closed. Enter these into the text field „Custom holidays”. Format the dates as YYYY-MM-DD or D.M.YYYY etc., for example 2018-05-31 to have your store closed on the last day of march 2018. You can enter multiple dates, one per line.
