Event Organiser adds event management that integrates well with your WordPress site. By using WordPress' in-built 'custom post type', this plug-in allows you to create events that have the same functionality as posts, while adding further features that allow you to manage your events. This includes the possibility of repeating your event according to complex schedules and assign your events to venues. This can all be done through an intuitive user interface, which allows your to view your events in the familiar WordPress list or view all occurrences of your events in a calendar page in the amin area.

Requires WordPress 3.3 and PHP 5.3 (or higher) - Event Organiser is now compatible with PHP 5.2+

New Features

• eo_get_events and the event list shortcode now support relative date formats for data parameters (e.g. event_start_before='+1 week',event_end_after='now'`)
• Public events feed - allow visitors to subscribe to your events.
• Delete individual occurrences of events.
• Agenda widget .

  Features

• Adds an event custom post type that fits naturally into WordPress and allows for all the functionality of 'posts'.
• Create one-time events or reoccuring events.
• Allows complex reoccuring patterns for events. You can create events that last an arbirtary time, and repeat over a specified period. Events can repeat daily through to yearly, allowing complex schedules such as 'On the third Tuesday of every fourth month' or 'Every month on the 16th'.
• Venue admin page to add and maintain the venues for your events, with Google maps support to display a map of the venue and a fully-featured content editor.
• The Calendar widget displays a calendar (identical to the standard WordPress Calendar) that highlights events with links to the events archive page, listing events occuring that day.
• The Event List widget outputs a list of events, and allows you to specify the number of events, restrict to event categories or venues and their order etc.
• The Calendar and Event List shortcodes, similiar to their respective widgets, for use in themes or in posts and pages.
• Shortcode to dislay a public version of the admin 'full calendar'.
• The Venue map shortcodes to display a map of a venue.
• Custom permissions allow to specifiy which roles have the ability to create, edit and delete events or manage venues.
• Template pages include in the plug-in for 'quick-start'. These can be over-ridden by including the appropriately named template files in your theme folder.
• Event functions available which extend the post functions (e.g. the_title(),get_the_author(), the_author()) to ouput or return event data (the start date-time, the venue etc). For examples of their use see the documentation or the included template files.
• Assign events to categories and tags, and view events by category or tag.
• Color-coded event categories.
• Venue pages, to view events by venue.
• Export/import events to and from ICAL files.

Planned Features

• Public ICAL Feed.
