Description
This is intended to be a simplified interface for non-technical users to propose radar.squat.net events using a specified group.
As admin, you can configure a location and select a list of options for tags.
The form can be displayed anywhere on your WordPress page by simply including the shortcode [recevcr-event-creator].
Events created with the form will be listed as proposals in your radar dashboard where you can moderate them.
External Services
This plugin uses the radar API to create events. The event data is submitted directly to the API, and no data is stored on the server.
To be able to display a list of possible event locations and tags, the plugin makes requests to the radar API.

Stack
This project uses composer for dependency management and Nette Forms to handle form validation/submission logic, it uses Twig to make the form rendering more straightforward.
Setup
- There is a container setup including WordPress, MariaDB and phpMyAdmin for local development and testing. Simply install docker and run
docker compose up. The containers will start up and give you access to the local instance. - On first boot you need to configure the WordPress installation when opening the url. If you messed something up and want a fresh start, simply remove the volume that contains the wordpress installation.
- For the plugin to work, you need to install the necessary php libraries. Execute
docker compose exec -w /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/rec-event-creator wordpress composer installwhile the docker setup is running. - The plugin code is mounted via volumes in the plugin directory of the WordPress installation. So it can be activated in the admin interface and every change in the repository code is directly available in the docker container.
- Configure and use the plugin as described in the usage section.

FAQ
-
Why can’t I upload an image for my event?
-
The API of radar has some limitations.
Currently it is not possible to upload images (see issue #27).
This should be fixed with the next version of the API. -
Why is it taking so long?
-
The squat.net servers are hosting a lot of stuff and sometimes suffer from heavy load and/or external attacks. Some updates on that can be found on the blog.
-
How can I display the events on my WordPress page?
-
There are several options to display events on your page. You can find an overview in the radar manual.
