After more than 12 years, Share Timetable service is being discontinued.
ShareTimetable.com is hosted on a small web hosting provider named Servage. This web hosting provider was purchased some time ago by another service provider that in his turn was purchased by another. Each company raised the cost of web hosting some more and recently the hosting fee reach an unacceptable level: From US$166 for 2 years of hosting to €918 for the same period.
While a subscription fees was charged for premium service, only few did subscribe (about 5 in the passing year) and the google ads did not provide much.
With great regret the service of Sharetimetable.com is being discontinue and will work until August 2023.
Valued users, please take your time and find a replacement solution for your needs.
In an effort to create a more secure environment and user friendly site we are introducing Password-less login.
At it base, ShareTimetable.com is not a secure site, the information in our site is not personal and the site is not protected by SSL encryption. This does introduce one risk: if user is using his commonly-use email and password pair. If the same pair is used in other personal sites, a ‘listener” can get the pair simply by listening to the user internet communication.
To avoid this risk a password-less login was developed. This is a simple two stage authentication:
- (1) User will post his Username.
- Site will response with a login code: 6 digit number.
- (2) User will enter the number and login.
To avoid repeating the login with the same code or trying multiple codes there are some limitations:
- Code has time limit of 30 minutes.
- Only one code per user can exist at one time, if user ask for code twice, only the last is valid.
- Other limitation that design to prevent unwanted logins.
Since July 2015 Share Timetable handles database and old bookings in the following way:
- Bookings dated over 2 months in the past will be removed
- Empty Timetables that their premuim has expire will be deleted.
Manager can save past information as CSV files of bookings.
Share Timetable API give administrators a way to allow their users make bookings to Timetable without the need to exit their site.
Check out this demo of a WordPress plugin that can be run in the business’ site and take advantages of the ShareTimetable.com services.
