Blocked Periods & Recurrences

Two admin tools complement manual bookings: blocked periods block time spans (e.g. maintenance or holidays), recurrence rules automatically generate fixed recurring bookings.

Blocked periods

You manage blocked periods at /admin/resource-booking/blocked. A blocked period blocks a time span hard — like a confirmed booking, nothing can be booked over it.

Fields of a blocked period

Field	Description
Resource	A specific resource — or All resources
From / To	Start and end point (date + time)
Reason	Multilingual optional reason (e.g. “Maintenance”, “Holiday”)

If you choose All resources, the block applies club-wide — handy for holidays or closing days. Entries with “All resources” carry a corresponding badge in the list.

1. Open Admin → Booking → Blocked Periods
2. Tap Add at the top right
3. Choose the resource (or “All resources”)
4. Set From and To via date/time
5. Optionally enter a reason
6. Tap Save

Does not free up the span

A blocked period prevents new bookings in the blocked range. Existing bookings are not removed automatically — check them manually if needed.

Recurrence rules

You manage recurrence rules at /admin/resource-booking/recurrences. They represent fixed, recurring bookings — for example a fixed team training “every Tuesday 6:00–8:00 PM on Hall 1”.

Fields of a rule

Field	Description
Resource	Which resource is occupied?
Weekday	Monday to Sunday
Start time / End time	Time window of the recurring booking
Valid from / until	Period during which the rule applies
Title	Multilingual optional title of the booking

Materialization within the horizon

The rule is converted into concrete bookings (materialized), on a rolling basis up to the recurrence horizon from the booking defaults. Only these materialized instances block time slots in the calendar and in conflict checking.

• When creating a rule, instances are generated immediately up to the horizon
• When opening the calendar, the module catches up missing instances
• When editing, the old rule including future instances is removed and re-materialized
• When deleting, the rule disappears including its future instances

1. Open Admin → Booking → Recurrence Rules
2. Tap Add at the top right
3. Choose resource and weekday
4. Set start and end time
5. Set valid from and valid until
6. Optionally enter a title
7. Tap Save — the bookings are generated up to the horizon

Choose the horizon appropriately

If the valid-until date lies further in the future than the horizon, the later bookings are only caught up gradually when the calendar is opened. A horizon of around 8 weeks covers most club workflows.
