Blocking out tour dates without tours disappearing and no Summary under item in booking page?
I do apologize if this subject has been raised, but I couldn't find anything during a search.
We run day tours, part of the year we are not open for e.g. 30th NOV 2019 to 1st FEB 2020.
So that no one can book on or during these dates we have used the Events feature to block these dates out. However, now when someone lands on our booking page or just wishes to browse through our tours, they are faced with a blank page! This looks extremely bad.
We are unable to find a work around?
Do we really have to keep the tours “bookable” for the months we are closed just so our customers can browse through our tour?
We risk customers booking in December-January when we are closed.
Why can’t the tours remain there but with just the months we closed unavailable to book?
I really hope there is a solution.
Also, ive seen others using Checkfront for tours and they seem to have a small summary under the item image? How do I get this? See image: https://prnt.sc/q3gbcd

Thank you for using our forums!
You can direct your customers to future available dates by navigating to Manage > Layout > Booking Page. Then under the heading 'Upcoming' you will be able to choose from either 'Automatically advance to the next available date' or 'List the next available date for each item' (to access the Upcoming options you will need to unselect the 'Show' Unavailable and Sold-out items options). Here is our documentation on the Booking Page Layout for more information.
To create a summary of your item, this is able to be done from the 'Description' tab of the item editor.
I hope this helps @dtours9871, please reach out to support@checkfront.com if you have any further questions!

Thanks that helped.
Although as you can see we are still having trouble with the summary?
All of our tours have content in the summary section (see pic) https://prnt.sc/q3r3dc
But, non of them display the summary? (see pic) https://prnt.sc/q3r3oe
Thank you for your reply!
Item summaries can be found in the 'Details' tab of the item on the booking page as demonstrated here.
Hopefully, this helps to clarify but please let us know if you have any follow up questions.
Have a great day!

Oh.. This is strange. Then how has this been achieved? https://prnt.sc/q4b0wm

Thanks for this clarification!
We can achieve this by navigating to Manage > Layout > Booking Page and setting the Category Display to Grid. With this setting enabled, we will be able to enable Show Item Descriptions in Listings.
Click here for a screenshot of this.
Keep in mind, these settings are only available when the Hero Page layout is enabled.
I hope that helps! Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist with.
All the best,
