README

Events, bookings and memberships for Craft CMS — in one plugin, under one licence.

Showtime combines three plugins we also sell separately into a single install: Owl (events and calendars), Stub (bookings and appointments) and Headcount (memberships and subscriptions). Buying them individually costs more than the bundle, and the bundle does things none of them can do alone.

What's included

Everything from all three plugins, plus the features that only exist because they ship together:

Member perks — a plan discounts a service or an event ticket, or restricts either to members. Booking discounts are applied before the payment amount is derived, so a member is charged less, not just shown less.
Member-only events — access rules can target events by calendar or individually, with redirect, paywall or hide behaviour. Gated events also drop out of the public calendar feed and stop being buyable.
Provider events block appointment slots — somebody teaching a class at 10am is no longer bookable for a 1:1 at 10am.
Bookings on the events calendar — one calendar for staff instead of two screens.
One Stripe endpoint, one sender — one webhook URL and one from-address for the whole bundle instead of one per plugin, with every notification listed on a single screen.
One person, one view — Showtime → People shows a customer's bookings, membership and ticket orders together, and craft.showtime.person() gives templates the same object.

Requirements

Craft CMS 5.6 or later
PHP 8.2 or later
Craft Commerce 5.0 or later — only for event ticketing, which stays dormant without it

Installation

Install from the Plugin Store, or with Composer:

composer require justinholtweb/craft-showtime
php craft plugin/install showtime

Already running Owl, Stub or Headcount?

Do not uninstall the standalone plugin first — plugin/uninstall runs its install migration in reverse and drops your bookings, members or events. Installing Showtime adopts an existing install in place instead, without moving a row of data:

composer require justinholtweb/craft-showtime
php craft plugin/install showtime      # adopts whatever is already installed
composer remove justinholtweb/craft-stub justinholtweb/craft-headcount justinholtweb/craft-owl

That last step matters: while both packages are present, Composer reports "Ambiguous class resolution" and may load the standalone's classes instead of the bundled copies.

Your settings, data, permissions and migration history all carry over. Nothing needs reconfiguring in Stripe — each plugin's existing webhook endpoint keeps working, so moving to the bundle's single endpoint is optional.

How the single licence works

Craft licenses plugins per handle, and has no native concept of a bundle. So Showtime is one plugin (handle showtime, one licence) that mounts the other three as internal modules rather than requiring them as separate installs. Each keeps its own namespace, services, templates, controllers, database tables and migration track — but because none of them is registered with Craft's Plugins service, none needs its own licence key. Only Showtime's is checked.

Development

The canonical source for each bundled plugin is its own repository. src/modules/{owl,stub,headcount}/ holds a vendored copy, synced one way:

bin/sync-modules.sh              # pull the latest sub-plugin source in
bin/sync-modules.sh stub         # …or just one

Never edit src/modules/* — the next sync overwrites it. Fixes belong in the sub-plugin's own repo, then re-sync.

composer phpstan                 # host code only; src/modules/* is linted in its own repo
composer ecs                     # composer ecs-fix to autofix

php craft showtime/test/run asserts the whole mount contract against a real database and exits non-zero on failure. Run it against a fresh install, not just a migrated one — the install and migrate paths diverge, and only the fresh one catches a table that a later migration created instead of Install.php.
