# 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](https://github.com/fullcalendar/fullcalendar)
|
|
2. [ics-parser](https://github.com/u01jmg3/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!
