Plugin / Calendar

Installation

The installation is extremely simple and straightforward. It only takes a second.

Installing

1. Upload the whole calendar directory into your WordPress plugins directory.
2. Activate the plugin on your WordPress plugins page
3. Configure Calendar using the following pages in the admin panel: Calendar -> Manage Calendar, Calendar -> Manage Categories, and Calendar -> Calendar Options
4. Edit or create a page on your blog which includes the text {CALENDAR} and visit
   the page you have edited or created. You should see your calendar in action.
5. You’ll see two new widgets, “Today’s Events” and “Upcoming Events” that will render data from the plugin. These can
   be configured with custom titles and limited to certain categories by specifying their IDs, comma separated
6. Additional data from the calendar may be inserted into posts and pages using the following legacy tags. Note the
   inclusion of optional category ids to limit display in this way
   {CALENDAR} or {CALENDAR;1} or {CALENDAR;1,2}
   {MINICAL} or {MINICAL;1} or {MINICAL;1,2}
   {TODAYS_EVENTS} or {TODAYS_EVENTS;1} or {TODAYS_EVENTS;1,3}
   {UPCOMING_EVENTS} or {UPCOMING_EVENTS;1} or {UPCOMING_EVENTS;1,3}
7. Later versions of the plugin also support the new WordPress short code system, examples as follows
   [calendar] or [calendar categories=”1,3″] or [calendar type=”mini” categories=”1″] or [calendar type=”upcoming”]
8. There is an iCalendar available within calendar. Once activated on the calendar options page, simply visit your site
   with calendar_feed appended, e.g.
   example.com/?calendar_feed
9. If you’re coding your own theme or plugin, you can call out to calendar functions directly to include content
   calendar() or calendar(“1”) or calendar(“1,3”)
   alternatively all the below using similar variations to the above for categories
   calendar_minical() or calendar_upcoming_events() or calendar_todays_events()
