How to limit booking to a recurring day every month

[hauseeHQ]

I am looking to create a booking page for an online event and it's a monthly event. How do I limit the booking for any other days and make it available for that day every month. e.g. 2nd Saturday every month.

Hello @hauseeHQ! I'm Dosu, here to help you with any bugs or questions while you wait for a human maintainer. Let’s tackle your booking page issue together!

To limit bookings to a recurring day every month, such as the 2nd Saturday, you can use the RRule library to define the recurrence pattern. Here's how you can set it up:

1. Define the Recurrence Rule: Use the RRule library to specify the recurrence pattern for the 2nd Saturday of every month.

   import { RRule } from "rrule";
   
   // Define the rule for the 2nd Saturday of every month
   const rule = new RRule({
     freq: RRule.MONTHLY,
     byweekday: [RRule.SA],
     bysetpos: 2
   });
   
   // Convert the rule to a string to use in the iCal event
   const recurrenceRule = rule.toString().replace("RRULE:", "");

2. Use the Recurrence Rule: Integrate this rule into your booking system to ensure that bookings are only available on the specified recurring day.

This setup will ensure that your booking page only allows bookings on the 2nd Saturday of each month ^[1].

Hey, I was facing the same issue yesterday. My solution is to create a new "availabilty" for this event and disable all weekdays. Now I use the override function to set up all days and times I want to offer. You can set in the event, that only the next upcoming three month are bookable.
With this way, I can offer a Webinar that is availible once a month and bookable are the next three time slots.
