TargetScore Events Calendar

Popis

Given a single Club ID, this plugin displays that club’s upcoming events (fetched from the TargetScore API) in two switchable views:

  • Calendar — a month grid with one color per event category and multi-day events shown as continuous bars.
  • List — the same upcoming events, chronological.

Clicking an event opens an event detail page rendered inside your site. A Register button opens the external TargetScore registration page in a new tab. A separate sidebar/footer widget shows a compact list of upcoming events.

All API calls are made server-side (proxied + cached via WordPress transients), so nothing hits the browser cross-origin and payloads stay small.

How it works

  • Configure a Club ID under Settings TargetScore Events Calendar.
  • On activation the plugin creates a published Events page (slug events) containing the [targetscore_calendar] shortcode. You can rename, move, or delete it freely.
  • Add the calendar to any page/post with the shortcode:

    [targetscore_calendar]

    Optional per-instance default view: [targetscore_calendar view="list"].

  • The event detail page uses the same page with a ?event={id} query parameter — no rewrite rules needed.

  • Add the „TargetScore: Upcoming Events“ widget to any sidebar/footer for a compact list.

External services

This plugin connects to the TargetScore API to retrieve the configured club’s public event data, and links to the TargetScore website for event registration.

TargetScore API (api.targetscore.com)
The plugin makes server-side GET requests to https://api.targetscore.com to fetch:

  • the club’s upcoming events — /api/events/by-club/{clubId}
  • club information and event categories/colors — /api/club/{clubId}
  • a single event’s details — /api/event/{eventId}

These requests are triggered when a visitor loads a page containing the events calendar, list, or the Upcoming Events widget. The only data sent is the Club ID you configure (and, for the detail view, an event ID from the page URL). No personal visitor data is transmitted. Responses are cached in WordPress transients.

TargetScore website (targetscore.com)
Event „Register“ buttons and links open https://targetscore.com/{eventId} in the visitor’s browser (a normal outbound link; no data is sent by the plugin itself).

Service provider: TargetScore.

Developer notes

The front-end bundle (assets/js/dist/targetscore-calendar.iife.js + .css) is compiled from assets/js/src/ via esbuild:

cd build
npm install
npm run build     # produce the bundle
npm test          # run the normalizeEvent unit tests

All event-date parsing lives in one adapter (assets/js/src/normalize.js) so the upcoming upstream change (splitting dates into startDate/endDate) is a single-function edit.

Zoznam zmien

1.0.1

  • Fixed: the calendar could permanently show „Couldn’t load events right now“ on sites with page caching. The front end no longer sends a REST nonce (the plugin’s routes are public and read-only), so a stale cached nonce can no longer make WordPress reject every events request.
  • Added: upstream API failures are now recorded (last 20, with time, reason, HTTP status, and response snippet) and shown under Settings TargetScore Events Calendar Recent errors, with a clear-log button.
  • Added: failures are also written to the PHP error log (throttled) even when WP_DEBUG is off, and a TargetScore section was added to Site Health Info.
  • Improved: the browser console now reports the failure category (timeout, http_404, bad_json, …) to speed up support diagnostics.

1.0.0

  • Initial release.
  • Calendar (month grid) and list views with per-category colors and multi-day bars.
  • In-site event detail page with sanitized rich-text overview and a popup-safe Register button.
  • „Upcoming Events“ sidebar/footer widget (server-rendered list).
  • Admin settings: Club ID, accent color (Register button, view toggle, today highlight), cache TTLs, clear cache, and a connection test.
  • PHP proxy with transient caching for all TargetScore API calls.
