luzidmedia

Luzid Content Scheduler controls when a specific frontend block is visible — and can also output the next scheduled date(s) via shortcode.
This gives you two complementary ways to use a scheduler:
<ol>
<li>
Show / hide a block (banner, alert, section, popup wrapper, …) 
Add the generated CSS class <code>luzid-cs-<slug></code> to the element. The plugin adds body classes and a tiny frontend helper so the block is only displayed while the schedule is active.
</li>
<li>
Display dates in the frontend 
Use the shortcode to print the next event (or a list of upcoming events) anywhere in your content.
</li>
</ol>
<h4>Typical Use Cases</h4>
<ul>
<li>Maintenance banners: Show a “We’re updating our systems” notice only during scheduled maintenance windows.</li>
<li>Seasonal content: Display holiday greetings, special offers, or seasonal menus during specific date ranges.</li>
<li>Event announcements: Print “Next event: Saturday, March 15th at 7 PM” dynamically on any page.</li>
<li>Recurring schedules: Show “Happy Hour specials” every Friday from 5 PM to 8 PM.</li>
<li>Multi-stage visibility: Use Event Classes to show a popup 4 days before an event, the full content 2 weeks before, and a menu item 11 days before — all independently controlled.</li>
<li>Event calendars: Generate a table of all upcoming events across multiple schedulers.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Core Concepts</h4>
<ul>
<li>A scheduler becomes active when at least one rule matches (single dates/ranges or recurring rules).</li>
<li>Exceptions override everything: if “now” is inside an exception range, the block is hidden even if other rules match.</li>
<li>Event Classes (new in 1.4) allow multiple independent visibility windows with different offsets — each generating its own CSS class.</li>
<li>The shortcode reads the same event logic and outputs formatted dates with full control over separators and formatting.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Features</h3>
<h4>Scheduling</h4>
<ul>
<li>Single dates & date ranges: Define specific days or periods when content should be visible.</li>
<li>Recurring rules: Weekly (every Monday), Monthly (every 15th), Weekday in month (2nd Thursday), Yearly (February 14th).</li>
<li>Exceptions: Override all rules — content stays hidden during exception periods.</li>
<li>Event Classes: Create multiple CSS classes per scheduler, each with independent visibility offsets.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Shortcode Output</h4>
<ul>
<li>Flexible date/time formatting: Choose from short, medium, long, or full date formats.</li>
<li>Separators: Control exactly what appears between date, time, and text parts.</li>
<li>Lists: Output multiple upcoming events with customizable separators.</li>
<li>Event Table: Generate a sortable table of all upcoming events from multiple schedulers.</li>
<li>Time offset: Shift the displayed time (e.g., “doors open 30 minutes before”).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Administration</h4>
<ul>
<li>Card-based UI: Clean, modern interface for managing rules.</li>
<li>Live preview: See upcoming events and visibility windows instantly.</li>
<li>Bilingual: Full German and English support with one-click language switching.</li>
</ul>

<h4>Event Classes (New in 1.4)</h4>
Event Classes allow you to create multiple independent visibility windows for a single scheduler. Each class has its own CSS class and offset settings.
Example setup:
 Class 
 CSS Class 
 Days Before 
 Use Case
 Standard 
 <code>.luzid-cs-dinner</code> 
 14 
 Main content
 popup 
 <code>.luzid-cs-dinner-popup</code> 
 4 
 Announcement popup
 menu 
 <code>.luzid-cs-dinner-menu</code> 
 11 
 Navigation menu item
This allows you to control when different elements appear, all based on the same event schedule.
<h4>CSS Hooks</h4>
Shortcode output: 
* <code>.luzid-cs</code> — Wrapper (plus <code>.luzid-cs--single</code> / <code>.luzid-cs--list</code>) 
* <code>.luzid-cs-item</code> — Single event in list 
* <code>.luzid-cs-date</code> — Date part 
* <code>.luzid-cs-time</code> — Time part 
* <code>.luzid-cs-text</code> — Event text 
* <code>.luzid-cs-sep</code> / <code>.luzid-cs-sep1</code> / <code>.luzid-cs-sep2</code> — Separators
Event table: 
* <code>.luzid-cs-eventtable</code> — Table wrapper 
* <code>.luzid-cs-eventtable__head</code> / <code>__body</code> / <code>__row</code> / <code>__cell</code>
Body classes (for conditional CSS):
