Return Event Objects for Devs

  • Is there any way to return an array of event objects? I would like to have more control over the way the events are outputted using conditional fields and such like. I believe I read through all of your documentation; very nice plugin. I could do things like

    (pseudocode)
foreach event in gce feed id 503
  if (is_today(event->time))
    echo img src="a"
  otherwise echo img src="b"

    and many other types of powerful conditional language and formatting. I just need direct access to the feed list and feed objects.

    Would writing my own plugin to connect to Google’s API be easier? I just feel like you guys have such a nice feed system and I’d like to play off it.

    Thanks!

    Hi there,

    glad you ask because in an upcoming version there’s a bit more room for plugin expansion (add ons and such)

    and in theory what you ask will be possible – there’ll be a new function that gets a calendar object and $events is a property so you could loop through those

    what’s not in place yet it’s two things which could be useful (but probably won’t make it for the next iteration)…

    1. an events class that can filter the array of events – I think I want to add something like this: https://github.com/yohang/CalendR (but not precisely that library) to loop through months/periods of time and filter the events accordingly

    2. a template system alternative to the current ‘event builder’ which is really just a template made of shortcode-like tags (that will remain anyway for legacy but in future I want to overlay a WYSIWYG visual builder a bit like form builders around, so people don’t have to use shortcodes anymore)

    if you are interested in plugin development, the new beta is ready
    https://github.com/moonstonemedia/WP-Google-Calendar-Events/tree/refactor if you want to try it out do get in touch
