WP-iCal Brings Back the Calendar

Last year when we first launched MNteractive, it was running on phpiCalendar for the calendar. For a while, it worked really well. There was a master calendar in my iCal populating all your iCals and this website.

A few months back, phpiCalendar stopped spitting things to the website. When I went to their site to get more information, I found this message:

“phpicalendar site is willingly offline until further notice”

Not a good sign.

WordPress, running weblog side of MNteractive, has a couple things I want the calendar to have:

  • Multiple Authors
  • RSS feeds

It didn’t create an iCal file, so I wrote a plug-in. I’m pleased to announce the MNteractive calendar is now running WP-iCal v.0.9.5.

If you want to keep up with Twin Cities’ design-related events, you now have 3 options:

To add items to the calendar:

  • If you’re a MNteractive author, just check ‘Calendar’ in the category list and fill out the event’s location and times when you write the post.
  • If not, simply email me the event information
