A lightweight plugin that enhances the admin experience for your custom "event" post type by adding a full calendar view.

== Description ==

This plugin replaces the default list view of your Event custom post type with a month-based calendar view directly in the WordPress admin.

You can still switch to the list view if needed, but the calendar allows a much clearer overview of upcoming events.

Clicking on a specific date in the calendar opens the event creation form with the date pre-filled — making it faster and easier to schedule new events.

**Features:**
- Visual calendar view of your events in wp-admin
- Add new events by clicking a date
- Pre-filled start date on event creation
- Toggle between "month" and "list" views
- Clean and native UI integration
- Custom post type can be changed via the `admin_calendar_view_post_type` filter (default: `event`)
- Based on the free and open-source version of [FullCalendar](https://fullcalendar.io/)

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/admin-calendar-view` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can I use this with a different custom post type than "event"? =
Yes. By default, the plugin targets the `event` post type, but you can override this using the `admin_calendar_view_post_type` filter in your theme or a custom plugin:

```php
add_filter('admin_calendar_view_post_type', function() {
    return 'my_custom_post_type';
})

= Can I still use the original list view? =
Yes, you can toggle between the calendar and list view at the top right of the interface.

= Can I customize the calendar style or behavior? =
Not yet, but filters and hooks will be added in a future release.
