Getting started.
This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.
- 01Upload hebrew-events-calendar.zip contentx to the /wp-content/plugins/hebrew-events-calendar directory
- 02Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- 03Goto the options page in the settings admin section and set the latitude/longitude so Hebrew dates will be calculated correctly.
Events are created by attaching event to info to Posts/Pages. Goto the edit screen and edit the event data in the “Hebrew Event” metabox. Less info usually results in reoccuring events. For instance, if you set the weekday to “Friday” and the time to “6:00 PM” then the event will be every Friday at 6:00PM. For a general explanation of the fields in this metabox see the FAQ.
Frequently asked questions.
Where is the documentation
Still working on it. For now you are on your own. Until then here is a short description of the fields in the edit post meta boxes:
Hebrew Event Metabox
- Time: This is either an absolute time (12:24 pm) or a relative time offset (-0:18 = minus eighteen minutes, +2:00 = plus two hours)
- Weekday: Dropdown for either Gregorian (Sunday, Monday, …) or Hebrew (Rishon, Sheni, …). Note that Hebrew days start at sunset.
