Pronounced “my-oh”. Referring to the Spanish word “mayo” which means “May” in English. Mayo Event Manager is a comprehensive WordPress plugin designed to facilitate the management of events with a focus on community engagement and administrative oversight. This plugin allows users to submit events for approval, supports recurring event schedules, and integrates seamlessly with WordPress’s native features like featured images and custom post types. Mayo is meant to be simple, and does not provide all the functionality of a typical event management system. It is designed to be used in conjunction with a BMLT server to provide a simple way to submit events for a specific service body. Also we will not be implementing a calendar view, but rather a list view. There are plenty of other plugins that provide calendar views, and you can make use of the calendar RSS to import the feeds you want.
Dependency on Pretty Permalinks: The REST API utilizes the same URL rewriting functionalities that pretty permalinks employ to map its human-readable routes (like /wp-json/wp/v2/posts) to the appropriate internal processes. If your site uses the “Plain” permalink setting (which is the default in some cases), the REST API endpoint may not function correctly, leading to 404 errors when attempting to access /wp-json/.

<h3>Announcement Feature</h3>
The announcement feature allows you to display event-based announcements prominently on your site. This is useful for: 
* Meeting closures or changes 
* New meeting announcements 
* Breaking news or important updates 
* Promoting upcoming events
Shortcode Usage:
<pre><code>[mayo_announcement] - Display announcements with default settings (banner mode)

[mayo_announcement mode="modal"] - Display as a modal popup instead of banner

[mayo_announcement categories="announcements,alerts"] - Filter by category slugs

[mayo_announcement tags="urgent,featured"] - Filter by tag slugs

[mayo_announcement time_format="24hour"] - Use 24-hour time format

[mayo_announcement background_color="#ff6600" text_color="#ffffff"] - Custom colors

[mayo_announcement background_color="#dc3545" text_color="#fff" categories="alerts"] - Red alert style
</code></pre>
Parameters: 
* mode – “banner” (sticky top bar) or “modal” (popup). Default: “banner” 
* categories – Comma-separated category slugs to filter events 
* tags – Comma-separated tag slugs to filter events 
* time_format – “12hour” or “24hour”. Default: “12hour” 
* background_color – Custom background color (hex, e.g., “#ff6600”). Default: CSS default 
* text_color – Custom text color (hex, e.g., “#ffffff”). Default: CSS default
Widget Usage:
For site-wide announcements without editing templates, use the “Mayo Event Announcements” widget: 
1. Go to Appearance > Widgets 
2. Add the “Mayo Event Announcements” widget to any widget area (footer recommended for site-wide display) 
3. Configure the display mode, categories, tags, and time format
How It Works: 
* Events appear as announcements when today’s date is between the event’s start_date and end_date 
* Banner mode shows a fixed bar at the top of the viewport with carousel navigation for multiple events 
* Modal mode shows a centered popup with a list of all matching events 
* When dismissed, announcements stay hidden for 24 hours but can be re-opened via a bell icon in the bottom-right corner

List Locations BMLT is a plugin that returns all unique towns or counties from your BMLT server for a given service body on your site.
SHORTCODE 
Basic: [list_locations] 
Attributes: root_server, services, recursive, state, delimiter, list, state_skip, city_skip
— Shortcode parameters can be combined
<h3>Usage</h3>
A minimum of root_server and services attribute are required, which would return all towns for that service body seperated by a comma.
Ex. [list_locations root_server="https://www.domain.org/main_server" services="50"]
Recursive: to recurse service bodies add recursive="1" 
Ex. [list_locations root_server="https://www.domain.org/main_server" services="50" recursive="1"]
State: to remove appending of the state add state="0" 
Ex. [list_locations root_server="https://www.domain.org/main_server" services="50" state="0"]
State Skip: to skip the inclusion of a state when using state="1" add state_skip="NC" 
Ex. [list_locations root_server="https://www.domain.org/main_server" services="50" state="1" state_skip="NC"]
City Skip To skip the inclusion of a city add city_skip="Indianapolis". This can be useful when mentioning a city out of order or in a different part of the text. 
Ex. [list_locations root_server="https://www.domain.org/main_server" services="50" state="1" city_skip="Indianapolis"]
Services: to add multiple service bodies just seperate by a comma. 
Ex. [list_locations root_server="https://www.domain.org/main_server" services="50,37,26"]
Delimiter: to change the delimiter to something besides a comma I would add delimiter=" – " or to create newlines between each I could do this delimiter=" ", or delimiter="" 
Ex. [list_locations root_server="https://www.domain.org/main_server" delimiter=" "]
List: You can list by the following town, county, borough, neighborhood. The default is town. 
Ex. [list_locations root_server="https://www.domain.org/main_server" list="town"]
custom_query You can add a custom query from semantic api to filter results, for ex by format <code>&formats=54</code>. 
Ex. [list_locations root_server="https://www.domain.org/main_server" custom_query="&formats=54"]

List Locations BMLT

We used to have to manually maintain a list of cities on each service body page.  This is amazing, we no longer have to do that!

Glad this was invented
