Podkit. A WordPress plugin for Pods aficionados
Podkit is a WordPress plugin aimed at developers who work with Pods. Podkit doesn't provide any settings in WordPress. It simply makes extra functions and shortcodes available - all aimed at helping you build (Even More) Amazing Things with Pods. You can make use of everything Podkit provides without adding any extra code to your Plugin or Theme - it's all designed to be useful inside posts, widgets, and Pods templates.
This enables me to build bespoke features on projects where it's not practical to write custom plugins or themes. That can include multisite contexts, or ninja-like low-budget projects.
Use inside a Pods template
{@_location, pk_gmap}
Assuming the _location field contains a full address and postal code, this will return a Google Map.
This is designed to take a start and end date, and return a nicely-formatted date-range. It'll return a single formatted date if the start and end dates are the same, or if you omit the end date field in the opt attribute.
[pk_dates opt="event,_start_date,_end_date" format="j F Y"]
The syntax for the first attribute is opt="[pod name],[start date field],[end date field]"
The format attribute needs to include month, date, and year, using PHP's date() codes. The shortcode pays attention to the order you put the three codes in. Currently they need to be space seperated. In future, using forward-slashes or full-stops(periods) as seperators will allow you to format dates like this: 15.06.2017.
You can also add an 'id' attribute, if you need to specify the post ID. You may be able to add the ID dynamically using a Pod magic tag (eg id="{@ID}"), but I've not yet testing this.
