Event CLNDR

A handsome, fully featured event calendar for your WordPress site. Developers: look no further, the highly appraised CLNDR.js is now here at your disposal on WordPress straight out of the box. Tweak the CLNDR.js options and fine-tune the master stylesheet and Bob’s your uncle – a painlessly elegant calendar for use in any page/post or widget. With a simple event manager bundled in, you’ll be on your way in seconds without the need of any third party apps or services trying to charge a premium just for the use of the sidebar widget. Usage Use the Instances page to create and modify different displays of your events. Based on the name you chose for your instance, a shortcode will be generated (and shown in the table) for use in any page, post or “Text” widget content field. Each instance can each have a different CLNDR.js template and include more JS options, so the event display could range from a full calendar to a text list of each event. Not a developer? Not to worry, the plugin comes pre-shipped with a couple of front-end calendar instances to get you on your way. For most people, the default options won’t need editing, and all that will need to be done is to edit the master stylesheet to change the colours to match your theming. If you don’t know CSS, this is a great opportunity to get your fingers very slightly dirty – the section of the stylesheet you’ll want to edit is fully commented with which colours do what.

Minimalistic Event Manager

This plugin (MEM or Minimalistic Event Manager) is intended for theme authors and developers who want a simple, robust and flexible solution for managing event dates. The MEM plugin offers a clean interface that allows to add event dates (start dates, end dates, repeating dates) to posts (and to any custom post type). The main features Event dates can be attached to any post type: Posts, Pages, Custom Post Types… (optionally, they can be restricted to specific content types). Event dates can be of three types: start dates, end dates, repeating dates. There is no mandatory date format: Time, Day, and Month are optional. An event date could be “January 2046”, or just “2046”. What the plugin doesn’t do The MEM plugin works as a simple interface for entering those dates into custom fields, but it won’t do much on the public side of your theme (there’s a simple widget for displaying a list of events). The plugin was created primarily to enable theme developers to create their own display of events on the front-end. If you aren’t sure how to achieve this, our wiki will provide a collection of examples to get you started. Technical implementation Technically, the MEM plugin stores the dates as ordinary Custom Fields, in a machine-readable format (such as “2016-11-23 13:37”). This gives you absolute freedom for displaying your events in your theme: You can query for specific date ranges by using the meta_key / meta_compare parameters. You can use the php date function to display the date in any possible manner (or date_i18n for proper localization). Plugin options The plugin has two settings that can be modified with a few lines in your functions.php file: You can limit it to specific post types. You can use an “alpha” mode, which gives you a blank input field for each date. This can be useful if you need to enter dates that don’t fit the predefined format.
