<p>This plugin (MEM or Minimalistic Event Manager) is intended for theme authors and developers who want a simple, robust and flexible solution for managing event dates.</p>
<p>The MEM plugin offers a clean interface that allows to add <em>event dates</em> (start dates, end dates, repeating dates) to <em>posts</em> (and to any custom post type).</p>
<h4>The main features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Event dates can be attached to any post type: Posts, Pages, Custom Post Types… (optionally, they can be restricted to specific content types).</li>
<li>Event dates can be of three types: start dates, end dates, repeating dates.</li>
<li>There is no mandatory date format: Time, Day, and Month are optional. An event date could be “January 2046”, or just “2046”.</li>
</ul>
<h4>What the plugin doesn’t do</h4>
<p>The MEM plugin works as a simple interface for entering those dates into custom fields, but it won’t do much on the public side of your theme (there’s a simple widget for displaying a list of events).</p>
<p>The plugin was created primarily to enable theme developers to create their own display of events on the front-end.</p>
<p>If you aren’t sure how to achieve this, <a href="https://github.com/ms-studio/minimalistic-event-manager/wiki" rel="nofollow ugc">our wiki</a> will provide a collection of examples to get you started.</p>
<h4>Technical implementation</h4>
<p>Technically, the MEM plugin stores the dates as ordinary Custom Fields, in a <em>machine-readable</em> format (such as “2016-11-23 13:37”). This gives you absolute freedom for displaying your events in your theme:</p>
<ul>
<li>You can query for specific date ranges by using the meta_key / meta_compare parameters.</li>
<li>You can use the php <code>date</code> function to display the date in any possible manner (or <code>date_i18n</code> for proper localization).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Plugin options</h4>
<p>The plugin has two settings that can be modified with a few lines in your <code>functions.php</code> file:</p>
<ul>
<li>You can limit it to specific post types.</li>
<li>You can use an “alpha” mode, which gives you a blank input field for each date. This can be useful if you need to enter dates that don’t fit the predefined format.</li>
</ul>
<p>See the online documentation for the full instructions.</p>
