AnnoVisio Event Overview

Description

Works with public iCalendar/ICS feeds from Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Apple Calendar, and other calendar apps.

AnnoVisio Event Overview turns one public iCalendar/ICS feed into a clean yearly event overview. The feed can be configured with its own calendar name and color. The year grid is the default view, and event bars open a local details dialog with title, date, calendar name, description, event URL when available, and the calendar page URL. Version 1.0 displays the shortcode page itself as the archive. It does not create event posts, event detail pages, account connections, Google OAuth connections, Calendly integrations, or write access to any calendar.

Use the shortcode:

[annovisio-event-overview]

The plugin fetches one configured public ICS feed server-side with the WordPress HTTP API and normalizes the parsed event data into a WordPress transient. The configured calendar name and color are applied when the overview is rendered, so changing these display settings does not require a new feed fetch. No external frontend assets are loaded.

External services

This plugin connects to the public iCalendar/ICS feed URL configured by the site administrator. The feed can come from any calendar provider that offers a public iCalendar/ICS feed URL, for example Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Apple Calendar, or another compatible calendar system. The URL is requested from the WordPress server using the WordPress HTTP API when the cache is empty or when an administrator uses the manual refresh action.

The requested calendar provider receives the server request, including normal HTTP request metadata such as IP address and user agent. The plugin does not send visitor data to the feed URL from the browser and does not load external frontend assets.

Administrators should only configure a public iCalendar/ICS feed URL whose provider, terms of service, and privacy policy are acceptable for their website.
