Is there a way to search through attached content for an event

[Ricky Dutta]

Good Evening,

Happy Monday!

I am trying to evaluate this plugin for a new project that I will be kicking off.

I had two related questions:

1. Is it possible to attached Minutes of the Meetings (PDFs) to archived events? Is it also possible to search through these attachment/content?

2. I am guessing this would not be a part of the core plugin, is this available on the pro version?

( I am actually on a really tight deadline so any haste would be deeply appreciated)

Thanks,
Rick

Hi Ricky. Thanks for considering our calendar plugin suite.

Each event is a WordPress custom post type post. So editing an event via wp-admin is just like writing a blog post or page.

That being said, you can attach media files (images, PDFs, etc), just like you can in the regular WordPress post editor used on posts and pages.

Additionally, the PRO add-on lets you easily add additional custom fields. You could create a URL field type (e.g. “Minutes”) and put a link there (e.g. Dropbox or Google Drive).

Notes:

• Uploading files to an event post will add them to your WordPress Media Library.
• Displaying PDFs (hosted in Media Library or off-site) in the content area of an event post would be done via a third-party plugin (e.g. PDF Embedder or Google Doc Embedder).

Our plugins do not support indexing all of the PDFs’ content and searching through it. SearchWP’s site says it can do that for all PDFs uploaded to your Media Library. It’s a third-party plugin, and it isn’t a specific integration with our plugins.

I hope this information helps you make an informed decision.

Let me know if you need anything else from us.
