LNH Lunar Calendar

Beskrywing

LNH Lunar Calendar is a simple yet powerful plugin that allows you to easily insert a detailed Lunar-Solar calendar block anywhere on your WordPress site using a shortcode. The plugin is designed with a modern, responsive interface and provides accurate information about the lunar date, Can Chi (Stem-Branch), and dynamic Zodiac Hours calculated for each specific day.

This is an essential tool for websites targeting a Vietnamese audience, helping to enrich content and provide a culturally relevant experience.

Key Features:

Flexible Shortcode: Use [lnh_lunar_calendar] to display the calendar with various options.

Multiple Layouts & Themes:

widget: A compact block, perfect for sidebars or footers.

full: Displays a full monthly calendar with an integrated details header.

inline: Shows date information in a single, clean line.

theme=”dark”: A beautiful dark mode is available for all layouts.

Smart Interaction: Users can click any day in the full calendar to see its detailed information (including Zodiac Hours) updated instantly in the header.

Dynamic Zodiac Hours: The Zodiac Hours (Giờ Hoàng Đạo) are accurately calculated for each day based on its Earthly Branch (Địa Chi).

Easy Customization: Allows users to translate basic text strings (like “Day”, “Month”, “Year”…) directly from the settings page.

Accurate & High-Performance: Uses a verified astronomical algorithm for date conversion and the smart Transients API for caching to ensure the fastest page load times.

Responsive Design: Displays beautifully on all devices, from desktops to mobile phones, including abbreviated weekday names on smaller screens.

Installation

Upload the lnh-lunar-calendar folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.

Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

Go to Settings > LNH Lunar Calendar to customize default settings and translations.

Use the shortcode [lnh_lunar_calendar] in your posts, pages, or widgets.

Kwel-vrae

How do I use the shortcode?

You can insert the shortcode into any WordPress text editor. Here are some examples:

Basic Widget: [lnh_lunar_calendar]

Full Month Calendar: [lnh_lunar_calendar layout=”full”]

Using the Dark Theme: [lnh_lunar_calendar layout=”full” theme=”dark”]

How does the interactive feature work?

The layout=”full” shortcode automatically includes a detailed header. When you click on any day in the calendar grid, this header will update to show the detailed information for the selected day. If you also place a [lunar_calendar] widget on the same page, it will be updated as well.

Can I translate words like “Day”, “Month”, “Monday”, etc.?

Yes. Go to Settings > LNH Lunar Calendar > Translate. Here you can enter custom translations for the text strings displayed on the front end.
