Sorry but this plugin has been discontinued. Although it still works for Wordpress 2.9.1, I don’t have time to maintain it further. This is just kept here for memories’ sake. Thank you to all who used it.

Updated: February 07, 2008
Notes: Remind Me 1.0 is still compatible with Wordpress 2.3.3! Please let me know if you encounter problems.

 

REMIND ME
     made by Mesedilla Studios

Current Version: 1.0 [October 20, 2005]

 

I. OVERVIEW


Remind Me is a Wordpress Plugin that provides you a monthly list of dates to be remembered.

The MySQL Database function came from my old website code

The Flat File function is a modified version of
Countdown 1.1 code
by Owen Winkler

Thank you for using this plugin.
As this is my first plugin for wordpress, please let me know what you think of it.
I’d like to hear your suggestions.

 


II. QUICK START


1) Download Remind Me Archive
2) Edit “fcm_remindme.txt” file
3) Upload “fcm_remindme.txt” and “wp_fcm_remindme.php” to your wp-content/plugins directory
4) Activate the “Remind Me” Plugin through the Wordpress admin control panel
5) Insert this code where you want the reminder to appear:
< ?php fcm_remindme(); ?>

 

III. DETAILED INSTALLATION


1) You can choose between “mysql” or “file” for the source of the dates.

Edit “wp_fcm_remindme.php” and look for:

$fcm_datatype = "file";

and change it to “mysql” or “file”.

**********
For MySQL, you need to setup this table in your wordpress database

CREATE TABLE `wp_fcmdates` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`date` date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00',
`text` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
`pub` enum('0','1') NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) TYPE=MyISAM

where “wp_” is your wordpress table prefix. By default, the above code will work.
I suggest you use phpMyAdmin for your database editing.
I don’t have the time yet to create an interface for the db function.

**********
For file, you need to upload the “fcm_remindme.txt” file into your wp-content/plugins directory.

The date format is simple:

YYYY-MM-DD Text|Option (1 – publish | 0 – don’t publish)
or
MM-DD Text|Option (1 – publish | 0 – don’t publish)

Samples:
01-24 Fritz’s Birthday|1
2005-09-17 Remind Me v1.0 Completion Date|1
2005-10-20 Remind Me v1.0 Launch Date|1

I placed an option to include the year because I plan to have other uses for it someday.

2) Upload “wp_fcm_remindme.php” to your wp-content/plugins directory.

3) Activate the “Remind Me” Plugin through the Wordpress admin control panel

4) Insert this code where you want the reminder to appear:
<?php fcm_remindme(); ?>

Options:
fcm_remindme($stamp, $publish, '$sep_date', '$sep_text', '$before_line', '$after_line')

$stamp – Month to publish
$publish – Whether to publish only specific dates (1 – default) or publish all (0)
$sep_date – Date separator (default – ‘. ‘)
$sep_text – Separator between date and text (default – ‘ | ‘)
$before_line – Text to insert before the date (default – ‘<li>’)
$after_line – Text to insert after the date (default – ‘</li>’)

 

IV. SAMPLES


<?php fcm_remindme(); ?>

Show publish-enabled October dates
<?php fcm_remindme(10); ?gt;

Show all dates for October
<?php fcm_remindme(10,0); ?>

Show publish-enabled dates for October with “/” date separator and “-” text separator
<?php fcm_remindme(10,1,'/','-'); ?>

Show publish-enabled dates for current month with “/” date separator and “-” text separator
<?php fcm_remindme(,,'/','-'); ?>

    換掉原先的 CountDown 1.1 ,其實功能幾乎一樣,不過基於喜新厭舊的心態,就換了。

    Hi Martin,

    Thanks for posting.

    This plugin doesn’t care what the contents of the file are. What it simply does is grab the content and echoes it. I have a sample on the site right now and it renders the letter properly.

    Thank you again for posting.

    Hello,
    Just wondering if anyone could help. I did something stupid and started my blog using a numerical archive system, and now I'd like to change it so that the post title is part of the URL for SEO reasons. Is there any Wordpress plugins that anyone knows of that could switch it without sending Googlers to invalid pages? Maybe some sort of redirector to the correct page?

    Thanks.
