Hi there,

In a service provider, you can show/hide providers if you want to display on website or not. But when I choose hide, in API response I can still see that provider is_active is true. Can you please look into this one?

Thanks,
Kishor

this is correct, provider is active. There is another flag for hidden providers

Hi Redmin

This is quite critical for me. Can you please name which flag to hide providers. Same goes with services as well. From API docs, I cannot see any other flag to hide providers/services.

Name Type Description
id int Provider id. Auto-generated value.
name string Provider name
qty int Provider capacity
email string Provider email
description string Provider description
phone string Provider phone
picture string Picture file name
picture_preview string Path to preview picture
color string Provider color
is_active bool If provider is active

My assumption is if you do not want to show providers/services in a website, then in Simplybook admin you turn off Display service on the booking page? Even if I have turned off Display service on the booking page, is_active is still true.

there is flag is_hidden for that. Which API method you use?

Hi Dmitry,

I’m just following up if you had a chance to look at this?

There is flag for is_active. Could you also please explain what is that flag for?

Thank you

Regards,
Kishor

Hi! You can use is_visible flag already.
The is_active can be false in case services/provider/etc was used somewhere but was deleted by user.
