future development

Hi,

Yeah, I’ve always thought about adding a calendar view, just haven’t gotten around doing it. I guess you’re looking for something like this?

I’ve got some time later this week, I’ll see what I can come up with. I’ll keep you posted ??

Not so much in the backend (though that’s pretty aweseom) as a forward facing view for the site visitor. WordPress has a default calendar that gives a widgetised view of posts but it doesn’t allow one to only display a post by its category. And besides this, we don’t need a calendar that displays posts by their publication date but rather by the event date.

Any chance that is on your roadmap? Or else, might we hire you to put it on your roadmap ??

Thanks for the quick reply!

Okay, so you’ll only be needing a widget calendar? That would not be too difficult, as I could just modify the default WordPress calendar. That is certainly something I could add to my plugin in the near future.

If you also need an full page calendar view, that is something that I won’t be adding to the plugin itself, but there’s nothing preventing you from creating an event calendar page template though. I can provide an example/tutorial if needed.

P.S. I’m not for hire at the moment, but I do accept donations ??

Just a modified, default WP Calendar widget would be perfect for my needs, yes.
At the moment, I don’t have need of a calendar page template.
I’ll look forward to the widget addition and see what I can pull together for the tip jar.
In case you’re curious, here’s the (in dev, but nearly completed) site we’re using your events: https://cancure.mbateam.com/events/

Hi,

Just to let you know, I haven’t abandoned work on the calendar widget yet, I’ve just been a bit busy on other things ??

I have created a basic event calendar widget already, but turns out it is a lot more complicated than just modifying the default calendar. WordPress doesn’t really support date archives for custom post types, so I still need to figure out a good way to handle the archive pages to make sense for event posts and handle the required rewrites. I’m sure I’ll figure something out though.

Thanks for the update!
