RS Event Plugin
Adds an “RS Event” panel to the posting sidebar, allowing for a date to be set for the post and then displayed in the blog sidebar or an events page. The plugin also includes a widget and was originally developed by Robert Sargant, whose blog and plugin seem to have disappeared. Lots of people were looking for it, so here is a home for it for now.
Download
This version has been tested in WordPress 2.5. (Older versions of RS Event from Robert’s site don’t work in WordPress 2.1+).
Installation
1. Unzip and copy to your plugins folder.
2. Activate the plugin.
3. Add the sidebar widget to your sidebar and configure widget options
Or 3. Add the sidebar function to your theme (see blow)
Creating events
To add an event, create a new post and scroll down to the bottom of the write page and you should find a new RS Event panel. Pick a date and time and save the post.
Using the sidebar function manually
Something like this works for me:
$rs_event_arg = array(
”timespan” => 60 * 60 * 24 * 365,
”date_format” => “jS M ‘y”, ”time_format” => “g:i A”, ”group_by_date” => true, ”event_html” => “<a href=’%URL%’>%TITLE% (%TIME%)</a>”,
”max_events” => 4,
);
rs_event_list($rs_event_arg);
