Description
Dashboard for Availio embeds your club’s court occupancy from Availio (the booking platform by Fairgate) directly into WordPress. The data is fetched server-side through the official Fairgate Standard API (FSA) and rendered as a clear, TV-friendly occupancy grid of all your courts, including a date picker to browse the coming days.
The API token stays exclusively on the server; it is never sent to the browser.
Features
- Occupancy grid of all courts for the selected day (free / booked / in progress)
- Date picker with previous/next navigation
- Automatic refresh at a configurable interval
- Configurable display range, slot size and time zone
- Customizable color scheme (color pickers in the settings)
- Optional court filter (show only selected courts)
- Embed via the
[availio_dashboard]shortcode - Token kept server-side, no credentials in the HTML/JS
Please note: the Fairgate Standard API returns reservations as anonymous time slots (without player names). The dashboard therefore shows the occupancy, not the names of the people who booked.

External services
This plugin connects to the Fairgate Standard API (FSA), operated by Fairgate AG, to retrieve and display your club’s court occupancy. Without this connection the dashboard cannot show any data.
- Provider: Fairgate AG (default base URL: https://fsa.fairgate.ch).
- Purpose: retrieving the reservations and the court list for display.
- When: server-side on every request to a page containing the shortcode, and on the auto-refresh / AJAX requests.
- Data transmitted: your configured Organisation ID (OID) and your API token (for authentication), plus the requested time range or date. NO data about your website visitors is transmitted to the service.

Installation
- Upload the plugin as a ZIP via Plugins Add New Upload Plugin and activate it (or copy the
dashboard-for-availiofolder towp-content/plugins/). - Go to Settings Dashboard for Availio and enter your credentials:
- Organisation ID (OID) of your club
- API key (Bearer/JWT token) from your Availio settings
- Optionally adjust the display options (range, slot size, auto-refresh, colors, court filter).
- Add the shortcode
[availio_dashboard]to a page, post or widget.
You obtain API access (OID and token) through your Availio/Fairgate contract; the FSA must be enabled for your organisation.
FAQ
-
Where do I get the OID and the API token?
-
Both come from the Availio/Fairgate settings of your organisation. The Fairgate Standard API (FSA) must be booked/enabled for your account.
-
Are the names of the people who booked shown?
-
No. The official FSA returns reservations as anonymous time slots. The dashboard therefore only shows when a court is occupied, not by whom.
-
Is the token secure?
-
Yes. The token is kept server-side and is only used for the API request. The delivered HTML contains only the finished occupancy tiles.
-
Can I store the credentials outside the database?
-
Yes. Define the values as constants in your
wp-config.phpand they will be used instead of the database settings:define('AVAILIO_OID', 'your-oid'); define('AVAILIO_ACCESS_KEY', 'your-token'); define('AVAILIO_BASE_URL', 'https://fsa.fairgate.ch'); // optionalWhen a constant is set, the corresponding field on the settings page is shown as read-only.
-
Can I show only certain courts?
-
Yes, via the court filter in the settings (comma-separated court IDs).
