Dear Osclass Team,
I would like to suggest the development of a new plugin: Event Calendar Plugin. This feature would greatly enhance Osclass's capabilities, especially for websites focusing on event announcements and management. Below are the details of the proposed functionality:
Features:
Integration with Blog Infrastructure:
The plugin can leverage the existing blog infrastructure for seamless integration and easier management.
Event Entry:
Admin users can select a specific date from a calendar (e.g., April 25, 2025).
Event categories such as conference, training, meeting, etc., can be selected.
A short event title (e.g., "Berlin Software Conference") can be entered with a word limit.
The event's location (city, country) and a brief description can be added.
A small image can be uploaded to represent the event visually.
Event Box Display:
Each event box will include:
The event title (e.g., "Berlin Software Conference").
The event date (e.g., "April 25, 2025").
The event location (e.g., "Berlin, Germany").
Homepage Integration:
Event boxes will be displayed on the homepage, similar to the "companies" plugin boxes.
Events will be sorted by date, showing the closest upcoming events first.
The homepage will include:
A calendar displaying the current month.
A section highlighting the next event.
A slider for other upcoming events.
Dedicated Event Page:
A dedicated page (e.g., demoosclass.com/events) will show:
Event boxes for all events happening in the next year.
A navigable calendar where users can select a year and month to view relevant events.
Interactive Design:
Users can interact with the event boxes using a mouse or touch gestures on mobile devices.
Clicking on an event box will redirect users to the detailed event page within the blog section.
Customizability:
The plugin’s display can be toggled on or off through theme integration or by manually placing its code snippet on the homepage.
Outcome:
This plugin would allow admins to showcase their events effectively, while visitors can easily access all necessary details, such as event name, date, and location. The intuitive and visually appealing design would significantly enhance the user experience, making Osclass more attractive to a wider audience.
I am confident this feature will be highly beneficial, and I would be happy to assist with feedback or testing during its development.
Thank you for your consideration!
Best regards,
