This plugin adds Events and Locations to WordPress which can be retrieved via the OpenAgenda REST API.
In order to make the OpenAgenda Plugin work, you will need to have a WordPress installation with at least the following installed (and activated):
On this WordPress installation you will have to enable pretty permalinks (Settings > Permalinks > Select any of the options that is not plain).
There are two possible setups for the OpenAgenda, this can be:
In all scenarios the OpenAgenda needs to have the following installed (and activated):
With this installed you can use the OpenAgenda Base plugin in your WordPress website.
If you chose for option 2 (new WordPress installation), you will probably need to install a WordPress theme. Since the OpenAgenda plugin is a REST API, it can be used in any WordPress theme.
openagenda-base
folder to the /wp-content/plugins/
directory.composer source git@github.com:OpenWebconcept/plugin-openagenda-base.git
composer require acato/openagenda-base
cd /wp-content/plugins/openagenda-base
composer install
Please remember, we use the WordPress PHP Coding Standards for this plugin! (https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/coding-standards/php/) To check if your changes are compatible with these standards:
cd /wp-content/plugins/openagenda-base
composer install
(this step is only needed once after installing the plugin)./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=phpcs.xml.dist .
[x]
can be fixed automatically by phpcbf, to do so run: ./vendor/bin/phpcbf --standard=phpcs.xml.dist .
N.B. the composer install
command will also install a git hook, preventing you from committing code that isn't compatible with the coding standards.
wp i18n make-pot . languages/openagenda-base.pot --exclude="node_modules/,vendor/" --domain="openagenda-base"
cd languages && wp i18n make-json openagenda-base-nl_NL.po --no-purge
This plugin adds two custom post types to WordPress:
This plugin adds the following REST API GET-endpoints:
/wp-json/owc/openagenda/v1
/wp-json/owc/openagenda/v1/items
/wp-json/owc/openagenda/v1/items/id/{id}
/wp-json/owc/openagenda/v1/fields
/wp-json/owc/openagenda/v1/locations
/wp-json/owc/openagenda/v1/locations/id/{id}
This plugin adds the following REST API POST-endpoint:
/wp-json/owc/openagenda/v1/items
The POST-endpoint is used to create new items in the OpenAgenda. The endpoint is protected by Basic Authentication with Application Passwords. The user needs to have the capability edit_posts
to be able to use this endpoint.
In the plugin settings located at Settings > OpenAgenda Settings
you can set the user that is allocated to items created with this POST-endpoint.
Further documentation about using the REST API can be found in the OpenAgenda API documentation.
In the event post type you can set the date(s) for an event with the following date types:
In both cases after saving the event, the date(s) within the range of the pattern will be generated for the first year and saved as post meta for the event. All generated dates are included in the REST API response.
This plugin uses two cron jobs:
openagenda_cron_event_weekly
: a cron job to generate the recurring dates for the events. The cron job runs once a week on Sunday.openagenda_add_cron_schedule
: a cron job to set the expiration date of an event, based on generated dates of the first cron job. On the expiration date the event will be set to draft. This cron job runs every 15 minutes.Make sure that the WordPress cron is running on your server. If you have disabled the cron via define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);
in the wp-config.php then make sure you trigger the cron jobs with a server cron job.
If you are not sure, you can use the plugin WP Crontrol to check if the cron jobs are running.
For the event post type you can create your own taxonomies, located at Events > Create Taxonomies
. These taxonomies are included in the REST API response.
When a taxonomy has terms attached to it, the taxonomy can't be deleted.
This plugin is compatible with the following open source projects:
