Events Manager, a new Wordpress plugin
It’s a sunny day in Paris,1 the perfect day for releasing a new Wordpress plugin.
All together, say hello to Events Manager, a plugin to manage, list and show maps of all your events.
Events Manager is the son of Events Scheduler, a self-made plugin that I have been using for a couple of years to power the “Concerti” (that is “gigs”) page of my own band website, cnomania.it.
Events Manager adds two pages to your desktop administrative section, one to manage events, the other for the plugin configuration. You can add events lists and calendars through a couple of configurable widgets; you can also incorporated lists, maps and RSS into your theme through a number of template tags. Yes, maps, that’s right, for Events Manager integrates with Google Maps and lets you show your users where your gigs, conferences, meetings or whatever take place. An events RSS is also available, to keep your users updated. Events Manager is fully localisable; developer and translators who want to contribute a localisation into their mother tongue are very welcome.
Events Manager isn’t of course the first event plugin, but the plugins previously available didn’t work for me; I wanted a plugin with events separated from posts, in order to have a separate Manage/Events page, to make my users’ life easier. If you want events to behave like posts, you should probably use one of the other excellent events plugins.
Take a look at Events Manager specifications, download it and give it a try. And please, remember this is a beta, so I will be grateful if you could send me any kind of bug report/impression/etc.
Update
I fixed a small bug which prevented the loading of default options in the plugin, and released 1.0b1, and added a #_URL placeholder in 1.0b2.
Early adopters, using 1.0b, are strongly encouraged to upgrade, deactivate and reactivate the plugin. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Enjoy!
Davide

I’m impressed, I must say. Actually hardly ever do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Your thought is excellent; the difficulty is one thing that not enough persons are speaking intelligently about. I’m very joyful that I stumbled throughout this in my search for one thing regarding this.

I simply desired to say thanks once again. I am not sure the things I might have achieved without the recommendations revealed by you on such area. It actually was a very intimidating scenario in my view, however , witnessing a well-written manner you managed the issue forced me to cry over contentment. Now i am happier for the service and even hope you really know what a powerful job your are getting into instructing others thru a web site. I am certain you have never got to know all of us.
