Without a clear record and a shared view, transparency—and trust—suffer on both sides. ** MyRentBook** fixes that with a clear, lightweight bookkeeping layer where landlord and tenant see the same numbers and stay on the same page. No black boxes, no external services—everything runs inside your WordPress. ### What you get – **Unified rent + utilities.** Charges per lease (rent / utilities / miscellaneous) in one place. – **Partial payments & running balance.** Record partial payments— remaining balance and statuses update automatically. – **Credit balance (overpayments) with auto-apply.** Overpayments accumulate as a credit you can optionally auto-apply to the next due charge. – **Clear statuses.** Paid / Partially paid / Unpaid—easy to read for both sides. – **Two dashboards.** Shortcodes for a landlord panel and a tenant cabinet—place them on any page. – **Notices & reminders.** Reminders via WP-Cron, no third-party services. – **Privacy by default.** Data stays in your database; you control access to pages. – **Translation-ready.** English, Spanish, and Russian included; easy to add more. ### How it works (quickly) 1) Create a **Property**. 2) Create a **Lease** and link it to the property. 3) Add **Charges** (rent, utilities, miscellaneous) and record incoming payments. 4) The system recalculates balance and statuses, taking partial payments and credit into account. ### Fit, customization, and branding **MyRentBook** adapts to your site and brand: – **Shortcodes** work anywhere (Gutenberg, Elementor, etc.). – **Easy styling** with `myrentbook-` CSS class prefixes. – ** Text & terminology** editable via translation tools (Loco Translate / Poedit). –** Branding**: add your logo/colors around shortcode pages; use your theme blocks and UI components. – **Settings** for currency, dashboard pages, credit auto-apply, notices, and more. If you’re a small agency, you can present branded dashboards to clients without building a SaaS and without monthly vendor lock-in. ### Who is it for – Individual landlords (from 1–10 properties and up). – Small agencies / property managers. – Anyone who values **transparency**, **simple bookkeeping rules**, and** self-hosted data**. ### Roadmap There is an active roadmap and we keep improving the plugin based on feedback. Your support directly helps it grow faster. ### Shortcodes – `[myrentbook_tenant]` — tenant cabinet for the current logged-in user. – `[myrentbook_landlord]`— landlord panel (requires appropriate capability). – `[myrentbook_notice]` — notices block for the selected receiver page. (Restrict access to these pages with your membership/roles plugin or custom capabilities.) ### Privacy Policy This plugin does not send personal data to outside servers. Data is stored locally in your WordPress database. If you export/delete personal data in WordPress, include related lease and charge records as needed. ## Screenshots * [[ * Lease payments overview * [[ * Lease editor * [[ * Charge editor ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install via **Plugins Add New**. 2. Activate **MyRentBook**. 3. Go to **MyRentBook Settings** to configure: – default currency, – pages for `[ myrentbook_tenant]` and `[myrentbook_landlord]`, – credit auto-apply, notices, and other behavior. 4. Create a **Property**, then a **Lease**, then add **Charges** (rent / utility / misc). 5. Place the shortcodes on the pages you want: – Tenant view: `[myrentbook_tenant]`– Landlord view: `[myrentbook_landlord]` ## FAQ ### EN: How do I create a modal for messages in Gutenberg (no extra plugins)? Short version: add one Group block with id=msg1 and class myrentbook-modal, nest one inner Group with class myrentbook-modal__dialog, place your Shortcode block and a Close button underneath. Paste a small CSS snippet above the modal block and a JS snippet in the site footer. Steps 1) In the target page, create a Group block in “HTML Anchor” enter: msg1( this yields id=»msg1″). In “Additional CSS class(es)” enter: myrentbook-modal 2) Inside this group, add another Group block in “Additional CSS class(es)” enter: myrentbook-modal__dialog 3) Inside the inner group (“card”), add: – a Shortcode block (important: NOT “Custom HTML”), – below it, a Buttons block with a single button whose link (URL) is #close. Resulting structure: Group (id=msg1, class=myrentbook- modal) └─ Group (class=myrentbook-modal__dialog) ├─ Shortcode [your plugin prints the message here] └─ Buttons [one button with URL #close] 4) Directly ABOVE the modal, add a “Custom HTML” block and paste this CSS: /* Hide modal by default; show when class is added */ .myrentbook-modal{ display: none; } .myrentbook-modal.myrentbook–open{ display:block; } /* Full-surface overlay and positioning */ .myrentbook-modal{ position:fixed !important; inset:0 !important; display:none; align-items:flex-start; justify-content:center; padding-top:10vh; background:transparent !important; z-index:2147483647; margin:0 !important; max- width:none !important; } .myrentbook-modal.myrentbook–open{ display:flex !important;}. myrentbook-modal::before{ content:»»; position:absolute; inset:0; background:rgba( 0,0,0,.6); } /* Dialog “card” (inner group = message + button) */ .myrentbook-modal__dialog{ position:relative; z-index:1; width:min(720px, calc(100% – 32px)); background:#fff; border-radius:12px; padding:20px 24px 18px; box-shadow:0 18px 50px rgba(0,0,0,.30); margin:0 !important; } /* Tame Gutenberg layout wrappers inside the card */ .myrentbook-modal__dialog [ class*=»is-layout-«], .myrentbook-modal__dialog [class*=»wp-container-«]{ margin: 0 !important; max-width:none !important; gap:0 !important; } /* Center the shortcode/text content */ .myrentbook-modal__dialog .myrentbook-notice__inner,. myrentbook-modal__dialog .wp-block-shortcode{ text-align:center !important; } .myrentbook- modal__dialog .myrentbook-notice__inner > *, .myrentbook-modal__dialog .wp-block- shortcode > *{ margin-left:auto !important; margin-right:auto !important; } .myrentbook- modal__dialog p{ text-align:center !important; } /* Button(s) under the message */ .myrentbook-modal__dialog > .wp-block-buttons{ display:flex; justify-content:center; /* change to flex-end if you prefer right- aligned */ margin-top:12px !important; } 5) Paste this JS into the site footer (choose one: Site Editor Footer “Custom HTML” block; or a “headers & footers” helper plugin; or directly into footer.php before ): /* ===== MyRentBook: auto-modal when a message exists ===== */ /* No design changes here — just show/hide */ document.addEventListener(‘DOMContentLoaded’, function(){ var modal = document. getElementById(‘msg1’); if(!modal) return; // If there is any notice inside — open the modal if(modal.querySelector(‘.myrentbook- notice’)){ modal.classList.add(‘myrentbook–open’); // Optional: auto-close success after 3 seconds if(modal.querySelector(‘.myrentbook- notice–success’)){ setTimeout(function(){ modal.classList.remove(‘myrentbook–open’);}, 3000); } } }); // Close on link with href=»#close» document.addEventListener(‘click’, function( e){ var a = e.target.closest(‘a[href=»#close»]’); if(!a) return; e.preventDefault(); var modal = a.closest(‘.myrentbook-modal’); if(modal){ modal.classList.remove(‘myrentbook– open’); } }); // Close on Esc document.addEventListener(‘keydown’, function(e){ if(e.key === ‘ Escape’){ document.querySelectorAll(‘.myrentbook-modal.myrentbook–open’) .forEach( function(m){ m.classList.remove(‘myrentbook–open’); }); } }); How it works – On page load, the script looks for #msg1. If it contains .myrentbook- notice (success or error), the modal opens with a dark overlay. – Closing works via the #close button and the Esc key. – Shortcodes must be added via the “Shortcode” block (NOT “Custom HTML”), or WordPress will not render them. Troubleshooting – Modal doesn’t open: ensure the outer group has id=»msg1″ and class myrentbook-modal, and that the inner content actually outputs a .myrentbook- notice element. – Button does nothing: its link must be exactly #close. – Shortcode shows as plain text: replace “Custom HTML” with the “Shortcode” block. – Cache/minification: clear caches after adding CSS/JS. – Polylang: create the modal on each language version of the page (content is just regular blocks). Multiple modals (optional) Duplicate the structure with different anchors (msg2, msg3). Then either duplicate the JS block with the new IDs or generalize the code to loop over all .myrentbook-modal elements. For most setups, one modal (msg1) is enough. Notes – You can adjust the auto-close timeout (3000 ms) or remove that block if you don’t want auto-closing for success. – If your theme has very aggressive styles, the provided CSS already neutralizes common layout wrappers inside the dialog card without affecting the rest of the site. ### Does it expose anything publicly? Only the pages where you place shortcodes will render dashboards. Typically you keep tenant pages behind login; the plugin does not publish public archives for sensitive CPTs by default. ### How do partial payments work? When you record a payment smaller than the charge, the remaining balance stays open; totals and statuses are recalculated per lease. ### What is “credit auto-apply”? When enabled, overpayments (credit) are automatically applied to the nearest open debt of the lease. You can also trigger “Apply credit now” manually from the landlord panel. ### Multilingual support? The plugin is fully localized. English (en_US), Spanish (es_ES) and Russian (ru_RU) are included; you can add more via translate.wordpress.org or tools like Loco Translate/ Poedit. ### Does it send data to third parties? No. Everything runs on your WordPress (including reminders via WP-Cron). ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “MyRentBook” is open source software.
