I worked closely with Kate to develop a brand and identity that fitted closely with the style of her work, creating a logo that used her illustrations.

The site is powered by wordpress, and features an shopping cart plugin that I have developed myself.

Logo & Identity

Built using wordpress

Custom WordPress ecommerce plugin.

The site provides information about nights, live recordings and aims to develop the community through integration with Facebook.

This site is currently still in development.

I aimed to create a clean and simple site that represented the health benefits of pilates for a new company with little in the way of existing identity.

I have used a couple of plugins to manage events/gigs before, but I found that in some ways, they tried to do too much. I wanted a simpler option that was more integrated with WordPress posts. I hope that my plugin provides a nice simple and versatile solution.

The Date Field plugin adds a panel to the add/edit post page that allows you to enter a date. It is essentially a custom field that converts the date to a unix timestamp and stores it in the post meta data. The plugin was derived from the Creating Custom Write Panels in WordPress tutorial on wefunction.com. A great tutorial for anyone looking to add custom write panels to their theme.

Using the Plugin.

The date field plugin can be used in much the same way that any custom field is used. Its real purpose is just to provide a simple way to add a date to a custom field, and to have that information stored as a timestamp. The meta key used is date_value. Remember, the value is a timestamp, so you should use the php date function to diaplay the information in the desired format.

string date ( string $format [, int $timestamp ] )

Here is an example for displaying the date within a WordPress loop.

echo date("l jS \of F Y", get_post_meta($post->ID, 'date_value', true));
//Prints something like: Tuesday 18th of March 2014

WordPress of course has the ability to order posts by a custom field, and this is ideal for displaying posts ordered by the date-field value. The code below will desplay all posts where date_value is in the future, and ordered by date (soonest first).

<?php query_posts( 'meta_key=event_date_value&orderby=meta_value&meta_compare=>=&meta_value=' . time() . '&order=ASC' ); ?>

<?php foreach ($pageposts as $post): ?>
    <!-- Do stuff... -->
<?php endforeach; ?>

I hope to make some functions/shortcodes to be used with this field at some point, so it should be a little easier.

This is my first WordPress plugin, so I would appreciate any feedback, feel free to leave a comment or email me. Comments/Criticisms etc. are all welcome!

• Generally cleaned up the plugin. Fields are added to the array as before, but just adding a type = date option will bring up the field, rather than adding each part separately.
• Added a fields to add time.
• Fixed the issue id name issue Styedev pointed out.

0.2

• Made it possible to add other fields by adding items to the array. Keeping much of the behaviour from the wefunction.com tutorial intact like I really should have done in the first place.
