The Vacation Mode module allows freelancers and employers to temporarily mark themselves as unavailable by scheduling vacation dates.
During the vacation period, a notice is displayed on their public profile, services, and jobs, informing visitors that they are currently away.
Users can also choose whether they want to continue accepting new orders while on vacation.
