CFP.DEV shortcodes

Description

When you have a CFP.DEV instance running you might want to show a list of speakers on your WordPress instance.
This plugin provides several short codes to list speakers, show speaker details, the schedule per day and talk details and search results.

First thing you need to provide is the CFP.DEV key, which is the subdomain of your CFP.DEV instance (for example dvbe23).
Go to the CFP.DEV admin settings page and enter the key.

The available short codes are :
* [cfp_speakers size=10 random=yes title=”Speakers” subtitle=”This list will grow” hide_search=true hide_footer_true] list of speakers
* [cfp_speaker_details] Speaker details page
* [cfp_talk_details] talk details page
* [cfp_schedule day=yyyyyyy] yyyyy is the day name, for example monday.
* [cfp_talks_by_tracks all=true] list all the talks when all=true is set and query param id is not set
* [cfp_talks_by_tracks] List all the talks by the track id
* [cfp_talks_by_sessions] list all the talks by session types (conference, bof, etc.)
* [cfp_search_results] Shows the search results which can include speakers and talks. This page is triggered by the search request on the schedule page.

All rendered CFP.DEV WordPress pages are cached, you can specific the cache duration in the CFP.DEV settings page.
You can manually clear the cache on the WordPress CFP.DEV settings page if you want to force a refresh of the cache.

Recommended pages structure

The plugin will create AUTOMATICALLY the following required pages when the plugin is activated.
Each page will include the required shortcode.

• /schedule uses [cfp_schedule]
• /speakers uses [cfp_speakers]
• /speaker uses [cfp_speaker_details]
• /talks-by-tracks uses [cfp_talks_by_tracks]
• /talks-by-sessions uses [cfp_talks_by_sessions]
• /search-results uses [cfp_search_results]

All the above pages must have no parent page!
