About

EPFL Actu (news)

The Actu part of this plugin is separeted in two parts, one is the shortcode and the second is the Actu custom post.

Actu custom post type and taxonomy

For each entry in actus.epfl.ch that the WordPress administrators are interested in, there is a local copy as a post inside the WordPress database. This allows e.g. putting actus news into the newsletter or using the full-text search on them.

The "Actu" custom post type integrates with WP Subtitles, if installed (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-subtitle/). Note that only Actu items fetched after WP Subtitles is installed, can get a subtitle.

Actu Shortcode
