Set default post time

[Terry Ambrose]

Hi,
I’ve been using WP Editorial Calendar for quite some time now and have thoroughly enjoyed the plugin. For the most part, I think it’s excellent. The biggest problem I have with it is there not being an easy way to set the default post time. I know, edit the edcal_default_time option. As a former web developer who coded by hand, I know the problems of letting users edit files. I’ve read your comment in the forum about there not being a UI for this, but that seems like it’s taking the easy way out. Quite honestly, I can’t see why the plugin wouldn’t simply include a file with the updatable options, filled with the default values initially that users could easily modify. That way, as an include file, the changes aren’t lost each time there’s a plugin update.
Thanks,
Terry Ambrose

Hello Terry,

Thank you for using the Editorial Calendar.  I've never included a file to edit the options for the calendar since WordPress offers an easier way to do that.  Just go to this URL:

    http://<yourblogurl>/wp-admin/options.php

WordPress has a nice UI where you can edit the options for all of your plugins.  The calendar has the following options:

• edcal_author_pref - should the calendar show authors
• edcal_count - we used this option to prompt you to collect statistics after you used the calendar three times. We've stopped collecting statistics.
• edcal_do_feedback - this option turns off the statistics collection prompt
• edcal_status_pref - should we show post status
• edcal_time_pref - should the calendar show post times
• edcal_weeks_pref - how many weeks should the calendar show
• edcal_wheelscroll_pref - should the calendar scroll when you scroll your mouse wheel

You can set the default time preference once and then change it from this page.  I could also set a default value for this option so it shows up in this page in a future version.

Is that what you were looking for?

Thanks,

Zack
