<p>Hello Event adds event management and ticket sales in an extremely easy way to any WordPress site!  Just drop in the plugin and you’re ready to go. Welcome to the “Hello World” for events!</p>
<p>With this plugin you can easily create and manage events (like concerts, training camps or competitions). The events you create have fields for location, start and end dates (and optionally times for events that are not full-day events) and can be presented in different formats, both in lists and in calendars.</p>
<p>If you have installed WooCommerce you will be able to generate and sell tickets with a simple click. On the event page a link will point to the tickets in WooCommerce and in WooCommerce there will be a backlink from the ticket to the event. And in the backend dashboard you will immediately see how ticket sales progress for each event</p>
<p>Hello Event supports different date and time formats and is of course multi-lingual and currently comes with translations for English, French and Swedish. More languages will be added, and if you want to add other languages yourself, you can easily do that for example with the help of the Loco plugin.</p>
<p>Hello Event is iCal compatible and the event pages will display an “Add to calendar button” to allow users to insert the event into their calendars. The plugin can make use of external services to present the locations of events. For this purpose either Google Maps or OpenStreetMap may be used.</p>
<p>Although the plugin is perfect for use by the non-technical site creator, it is also developer-friendly with shortcodes, hooks and all styling provided by CSS that can be overridden. To get you going immediately the plugin will automatically show event-related information when a post of the “hello_event” custom type is presented. For more control, you can switch off the automatic insertion of this information and use the shortcodes provided wherever you want.</p>
<p>To enhance the organic SEO of your site, all pages that present events provide Structured Data descriptions of the event – see <a href="https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/intro-structured-data" rel="nofollow ugc">Google documentation on Structured Data</a>.</p>
<p>With Hello Event you can now use WooCommerce and all its different payment gateways to handle the ticket sales! Easy peasy!</p>

<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>WordPress: 6.6 or newer</li>
<li>PHP:
<ul>
<li>PHP 8.2+ required for development</li>
<li>PHP 8.1 may work for production builds when installed with <code>composer install --no-dev</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Languages</h3>
<p>OSEC supports multiple languages</p>
<h3>This Is a Fork</h3>
<p>OSEC is a fork of the GPL licensed plugin All-in-one-Event-Calendar by Timely. At it’s time a great plugin with a solid but unmaintainable codebase (not all required developer tools where opensourced).</p>
<p>If you love truly open source software and don’t mind to get your hands dirty you should join here. Free people need free software to manage and share events in a selfhosted manner.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>OSEC may connect to OpenStreetMap to render maps. If you using maps feature make sure you agree with <a href="https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a></p>
<p>OSEC may connect to OpenStreetMap Nominatim geocoding API. <a href="https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a>.<br />
You may need to switch the servive on a heavy traffic site as Nominatim allows an <em>absolute maximum of 1 request per second</em>.</p>
<p>By default leaflet and leaflet-control-geocoder are loaded from unpkg.com. <a href="https://app.unpkg.com/policies@1.0.1" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a>.</p>
<p>You can change using hooks: <code>osec_leaflet_library_alter</code>, <code>osec_leaflet_geocoder_library_alter</code>.</p>
<h3>Migration Notes</h3>
<p>Database structure is not fully compatible with All-in-One Event Calendar v2.3.4</p>
<p>Migration may be possible with manual effort</p>
<p>A standardized upgrade path may be developed if there is demand and contributions</p>
<p>See this <a href="https://github.com/digitaldonkey/open-source-event-calendar/wiki/migration-from-all%E2%80%90in%E2%80%90one%E2%80%90event%E2%80%90calendar" rel="nofollow ugc">wiki</a> for currently known information on migrating.</p>
<h3>Development & Support</h3>
<p>The principle behind this plugin is to be Open Source. Get in touch on <a href="https://github.com/digitaldonkey/open-source-event-calendar" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a> to report issues, propose feature enhancements, and get general guidance for contributing.</p>
<p>Writing this fork was <a href="https://github.com/wp-plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/compare/master...digitaldonkey:open-source-event-calendar:master" rel="nofollow ugc">a huge effort</a>.</p>
<p>Digitaldonkey believes everybody should be able to set up and manage public calendars.</p>
