-> What are the modification in the admin panel after plugin activation?

* A new section “Post Event” is available in the option settings

-> I want to display in my home page the 5 next events of cat “evenementSportif”. Can we do that?!

Of course You just need to call “query_events” function, with the same arguments as the standard query_posts:

<?php query_events(‘category_name=evenementSportif&showposts=5′); ?>
<ul>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
<li><a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a><small><?php echo mysql2date(get_option(‘date_format’), get_post_event_end_date(), true) ?></small></li>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</ul>

query_events: load event from databases and sort them by start date, by desc as default, Sort order could be change in admin panel.

-> How can I translate Post Event in my own language? =

To create a language file you have to create a document like: PostEvent-lang_LANG.mo wich is compiled version of lang_LANG.po.
To create a language file you need gettext and the command line to enter is : msgfmt lang_LANG.po -o PostEvent-lang_LANG.mo
