[Plugin: Google Calendar Events] Create new shortcodes

    Hello

    First, thanks for the great plugin.

    I have multiple events, some being same day (partial), other multiple whole day…

    I’d like to customize the display of date and time based on the type of events. For example, if it’s same partial day event (SPD), conditional shortcodes will allow me to not display twice the date, just display the date at the top and then time starts and time ends.

    I tried adding new shortcodes to the current conditional ones but couldn’t make it work. Can you please advise how to do?

    I’m trying to create (at least) the following shortcodes:

    [if-swd]
    [if-spd]
    [if-mwd]
    [if-mpd]

    Thanks a lot!

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, this currently requires editing the plugin core files. I plan to make the event display builder easier to extend in a future release.

    In the meantime, here’s a modified version of the google-calendar-events/inc/gce-event.php file, which implements the shortcodes you describe.

    Starting on line 161, the new shortcodes are added to the array of possible shortcodes. And starting on line 411 the functionality of the shortcodes is defined.

    I hope this all makes sense. Let me know if you have further questions.

    Dear Ross,
    thanks a lot. Your support is really appreciated. That was fast!
    It looks a lot like what I tried on my own but couldn’t make it work earlier.

    I just tried it and it works. Again, THANK YOU.
