This repository holds all the necessary files for the Theme & Plugins used at wptranslationday.org for our 4th event!
Please use the master branch if you want to make any PRs. A website lead has to be contacted for the master to be synced to the site.
Our theme is a child-theme of TwentySeventeen. We're also making use of TGM Plugin Activation to require necessary plugns needed for the website to run smoothly. These are:
Front Page
The Front Page is divided into 5 Panels. It's template file is located at /template-parts/page/content-front-page.php. When editing the Front Page you will see the custom fields that change each aspect of every panel those include:
- Enabled (on/off)
- Panel Anchor ID (to be used for menu # reference)
- Panel Image (the icon on the left side)
- Panel Background (the background image)
- Panel Heading (the title)
- Panel Text (the main text at the right side)
Note 1: The 4th panel also has a Countdown Date and a Countdown Finished Message so you can easily change the timer of the Front Page.
Note 2: You will also find the Event Date custom field, this is used to calculate the automation on the Schedule page to show the current live Talk. Set it to the Events Date!
Note 3: You will also find the Maintenance Mode custom field, this is used to easily put the website under maintenance for non logged in users.
The theme provides 4 Custom Post Types for Organizers, Speakers and Local Events. You will find a acf-export.json file with all the fields needed for these CPTs inside the /assets/ folder that you can import into ACF.
It will also check if the necessary pages exist and if not they will be automatically created as The Team for the Organizers, The Speakers for the Speakers, Schedule for the talks and Local Events for the Local Events CPTs.
