Quick dev preview setup

Then migrate into SQLite, load some test data and run the dev server like so.

$ ./manage.py migrate
$ ./manage.py shell
>>> from openinghours.tests.tests import OpeningHoursTestCase as Data
>>> Data.setUp(Data())
$ ./manage.py runserver

Usage

Set up a company

This app supports multiple companies (or your custom model) with multiple opening and closing hours.

Set up opening hours

Used to describe when premises are open, defined on a daily basis (per day) by defining one or more start and end times of opening slots.

Optionally, set up the closing hour rules

This is used to define when premises are closed (e.g. due to a holiday, absences, sickness or similar). Please note that the closing hours override the opening hours.

You can find examples of how to use this app in our templates.

Remarks

Opening hours is built using datetime’s isoweekday. This means Monday is represented by number 1 and Sunday by 7.
