Pre-specify service body/s in configuration or Shortcode for large regions with many service bodies.

[brustar64]

For Australia with our multisite subsites dedicated as Area Service Sites,
Ideally we want to have an event calendar per subsite providing a calendar for Area local service events.

Having a very long list of service bodies to chose from is confusing to users and it would be great to be able to specify this at a settings area (or via a short code customisation) to either hide the service body selection or have it pre-configured so those events pertain to the service body of the subsite they were configured against.

✅ Service Body Restriction Feature Implemented

I've successfully implemented the service body pre-configuration feature you requested for multi-site configurations. This is perfect for Australia's multisite subsites with dedicated Area Service Sites!

Key Features Implemented:

1. Global Settings Configuration

• New Admin Setting: "Restricted Service Bodies" in Mayo Settings
• Location: WordPress Admin → Mayo → Settings → Service Body Configuration
• Format: Comma-separated list of service body IDs (e.g., 1,2,3,0)
• Behavior: When specified, only these service bodies will be available for event submission

2. Shortcode Parameter Support

• New Parameter: default_service_bodies for [mayo_event_form]
• Override Capability: Shortcode parameters override global settings
• Perfect for Multi-Site: Each subsite can use different service body restrictions

3. Intelligent User Experience

• Multiple Service Bodies: Shows dropdown with only allowed service bodies
• Single Service Body: Automatically hides the field and pre-selects the service body
• Unaffiliated Support: Include 0 in the list to allow "Unaffiliated" events

Usage Examples:

Multi-Site Global Configuration

Set in WordPress Admin → Mayo → Settings:

All event forms on this site will only show service bodies 1, 2, and 5.

Per-Page Shortcode Override

This specific form only allows service bodies 3, 7, and 12.

Single Service Body (Auto-Hidden)

The service body field is hidden and service body 5 is automatically selected.

Area-Specific Forms

Perfect for Area Service Sites - automatically assigns to Area service body 8.

Benefits for Australian Multi-Site Setup:

• ✅ No User Confusion: Long service body lists are eliminated
• ✅ Area-Specific Events: Each subsite automatically submits to correct service bodies
• ✅ Flexible Configuration: Global settings + per-page overrides
• ✅ Streamlined UX: Single service body configurations hide the field entirely
• ✅ Backward Compatible: Existing sites continue working without changes

Technical Implementation:

• Added default_service_bodies setting to admin interface
• Updated event form to filter service bodies based on configuration
• Added shortcode parameter support with override capability
• Enhanced documentation with multi-site examples
• Maintained full backward compatibility

This feature is included in version 1.4.3 and addresses exactly what you requested - making the event calendar suitable for Australia's multisite setup with Area Service Sites that need to restrict events to specific service bodies!

Each subsite can now have clean, focused event forms that only show relevant service bodies for their area. 🎉
