Member Splash has two separate calendars that do different jobs. Members often expect to book a court or lane from the events calendar on your website, but booking only happens in the Reservations area after a member logs in.
The Events Calendar (for viewing club events)
Shows club events like socials, meetings, holiday hours, and swim meets
Can be public, so anyone visiting your website can see it
Managed in Events > Add New
Added to your website with the
[eo_fullcalendar]shortcode or the Events Calendar widgetMembers cannot book facilities from this calendar
The Reservations calendar (for booking facilities)
Lets members book tennis courts, lap lanes, cabanas, lessons, and other facilities you set up
Only visible to members after they log in
Set up in Reservations > Facility Groups and Reservations > Facilities
Members book in Reservations > Make Reservation
Does not need a shortcode or page. It's already built into the member account area.
NOTE: Adding the [eo_fullcalendar] shortcode to a page will not let members book facilities. That shortcode only displays the Events Calendar.
Where they overlap
Programs and Events created in Reservations > Programs & Events block off facility time so members can't book it, like swim lessons or private parties. You can choose to also show these on the Events Calendar, but they are still managed from Reservations.
Helping members find the booking calendar
Since reservations happen after login, make it easy for members to get there:
Add a Book a Reservation or Member Login link to your website menu
Mention it in your welcome email and season opening announcements
If you have an Events page, add a short note like "To reserve a court or lane, log in to your account and go to Reservations."
