WP-Organizer

WP-Organizer is an easy to use plugin which allows users to post upcoming events which the plugin then automatically puts into a chronologically sorted overview. This is a simple plug-in without an archive support.

It’s usefull for websites where you need to circulate the list of upcoming events every week or month without saving all the previous events into an archive.

Installation

WP-Organizer requires WordPress 2.7 or higher. However you can use it under 2.6 but admin interface may looks ugly because of CSS specified for 2.7 and higher admin theme.

  • Download and extract the plugin onto your computer
  • Fill in the plugin extraction directory/folder to your blog’s plugins directory (usually wp-content/plugins)
  • Activate the plugin

Usage

You can use HTML tags in your event description.

Use [WP-Organizer] shortcode in your post/page to add a list of chronologically sorted events to the page. You can add an upcoming events using the php lines:

$options = array(...);
echo wp_organizer_display($options);

Options

There is only one option in WP-Organizer at this time.

This is the choice between:

  • Limited display: Displays only the events for a user defined period (in days).
    Shortcode: [WP-Organizer limit=**] where ** is the number of days to be displayed
    For example: shortcode [WP-Organizer limit=14] will only display the events for the next 14 days to come.
  • Show all: Displays all the events put in by the user(s) so far.
    Shortcode: [WP-Organizer]

The options are the same for shortcode and the php function, only the input method is different.

Customization

Since 1.0.3: You can use a default (bundled) CSS using an option on a settings page.

The plugin outputs HTML with different classes so it’s highly customizable through CSS, see default.css bundled with plugin.

    @Laura, it’s not possible to have more than one and I believe there should be other plugins that really works.

    Btw, if you really want to force it works, so open the plugin’s php file and replace all ‘manage_options’ with ‘edit_posts’ to make it available for contributors.

    Thank you, and…

    That worked perfectly!

    Hi, we implemented your very useful plugin on an university blog. We’d like to know if it is possible to add various things to it like:
    - range in the date (from x to y)
    - html links
    - images

    Thx

    Hi,

    Your widget is really useful. It has helped ourganise our listing of sports events. Thank you.

    Quick question… I put in the code: [WP-Organizer limit=14]. But it lists all of the events, past and future, unless I delete them. Is there any way to fix that?

    Also, one other question… I would like to put the TIME to the left of the EVENT, etc (not on a different line). Could not figure out how to do that. Would be great if we could! I was able to put the other items on the same line, though :-)

    Best,
    Sam
