This plugin (MEM or Minimalistic Event Manager) is intended for theme authors and developers who want a simple, robust and flexible solution for managing event dates.
The MEM plugin offers a clean interface that allows to add event dates (start dates, end dates, repeating dates) to posts (and to any custom post type).
The MEM plugin works as a simple interface for entering those dates into custom fields, but it won’t do much on the public side of your theme (there’s a simple widget for displaying a list of events).
The plugin was created primarily to enable theme developers to create their own display of events on the front-end.
If you aren’t sure how to achieve this, our wiki will provide a collection of examples to get you started.
Technically, the MEM plugin stores the dates as ordinary Custom Fields, in a machine-readable format (such as “2016-11-23 13:37”). This gives you absolute freedom for displaying your events in your theme:
date
function to display the date in any possible manner (or date_i18n
for proper localization).The plugin has two settings that can be modified with a few lines in your functions.php
