Descrizione
Sharing Club lets you create a list of the items (like DVD, books, tools…) you want to lend to your users.
They can easily book, comment and rate these item. On the admin side, you can track what you’ve lent, who borrowed it and when.
Useful for any NGO, association or community with a sharing philosophy.
Currently available in english, french and dutch – feel free to translate it (using WordPress online interface or the provided files in the languages folder).
The shared object are based on WordPress custom post type and taxonomy (custom categories) which means that :
- you can use other plugins to extends the Sharing Club possibilities, see the FAQ below
- you can use easily integrate them, straight in your theme or using the provided templates files (see comments inside the PHP files)
- you can search for objects from anywhere in your website, like you would do for any other post
If you like this plugin, I would really appreciate if you can leave it a positive review (you need to create a WordPress account if you don’t have one yet).
