fwp-calendar

Originally created for a customer, I imagine that this would help some people wanting to avoid Wordpresses increasing "pay to use" direction.

Accepts a list of iCal URLs (without auth) and publishes to a page.

Almost entirely generated with ChatGPT. I lay no claim that I have manually written this entire thing myself. I just need something working and fast.

MVP

The MVP has very basic functionality. We leverage two external libraries however have included them within the plugin:

1. FullCalendar
2. ics-parser

We pull from a public iCal/ICS URL via the server. We then process and display this information when a shortcode ([event-calendar]) is called.

We store a list/array of URLs to pull from, so you should be able to add a couple.

Usage

Just install then look in "Settings" for the "FWP Calendar" section.

You can add a simple list of ICS/iCal URLs there however they must be publicly accessible. I tested and it works with Google calendars.

I created this for a customer who had a list of upcoming events displayed on their website. They were manually updating the events calendar entirely through Wordpress, which seemed clunky.

This plugin allows you to maintain a community events calendar from within your Orgs typical public calendar. Visitors can see events spread out on a calendar and upcoming events below.

This is good because you can provide the calendar for people to add to their phones or import into their own calendars. Your options are endless when you don't use shitty proprietary standards!
