About CalenFox Booking
From the official readme · v1.0.0Description
CalenFox Booking embeds the booking form from your CalenFox account into your
WordPress site, so visitors can schedule a meeting with you without leaving
your pages.
The plugin does not render the booking interface itself. It loads the embed
script from the CalenFox service, which means improvements to the booking form
reach your site without a plugin update.
Features
- Gutenberg block with a live preview inside the editor
- Shortcode for the classic editor and page builders
- Two formats: an inline form, or a button that opens the form in a modal
- Two views: your full profile page with every meeting type, or a single calendar
- The embedded form resizes itself to fit its content after loading
- Assets load only on pages that actually contain the form
Usage
Enter your CalenFox username under Settings → CalenFox, then either add the
“CalenFox Booking” block in the editor, or use the shortcode:
[calenfox]
For a specific meeting type shown as a modal button:
[calenfox slug="your-username" type="12" mode="popup" label="Schedule a call"]
Shortcode attributes
slug— Your CalenFox username. Falls back to the value in the settings.type— Meeting type ID. When empty, all meeting types are listed.view—profileorcalendar.mode—inlineorpopup.height— Initial height in pixels, between 300 and 3000.label— Text of the modal button.
External services
This plugin connects to CalenFox, a third-party scheduling service, to display
your booking form. A CalenFox account is required.
What the plugin sends and loads:
- It loads the embed script from
https://calenfox.com/embed.json pages that
contain the block or shortcode. - It embeds
https://calenfox.com/<your-username>/embedin an iframe. This
request is made by the visitor’s browser and includes the data any web
request includes, such as IP address and user agent. - Data your visitors enter into the booking form (such as name, email address
and answers to your questions) is submitted to CalenFox, not to your
WordPress site. This plugin does not store that data.
No data is sent to CalenFox from pages that do not contain the block or
shortcode.
