About
We have created this plugin out of personal need to have quick access to list of upcoming wordcamps right from the wp-admin. Plugin displays a widget on dashboard containing the list of upcoming wordcamps with options to search, sort & navigate through list along with direct link to respective wordcamp website. Data is fetched using JSON API (from https://central.wordcamp.org/wp-json/posts?type=wordcamp) and stored in transient for better performance, which is refreshed every day to reflect new data.
Features coming in v1.0
- Option to refresh data
- Re-write plugin code
- Improve data fetching
- Creating shortcode to display wordcamp list anywhere on website front-end
- Option to filter wordcamps based on users location/country
- localization
