## Àpèjúwe
This plugin is designed to help you curate your content. It lets you assign and
order stories within zones that you create, edit, and delete, and display those
groupings of related stories on your site.
This plugin was originally built by [Mohammad Jangda](http://digitalize.ca) in conjunction
with [William Davis](http://wpdavis.com/) and the [Bangor Daily News](http://www.bangordailynews.com/).
### Features
* Add, edit, and delete zones.
* Add and remove posts (or any custom post type) to or from zones.
* Order posts in any given zone.
* Limit capabilities on who can add, edit, and delete zones vs add content to zones.
* Locking mechanism, so only one user can edit a zone at a time (to avoid conflicts).
* Idle control, so people canÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t keep the zone locked.
### Function Reference
Get an array of all zones:
```
z_get_zones()
```
Get a single zone, accepts either ID or slug:
```
z_get_zone( $zone )
```
Get an array of ordered posts in a given zone, accepts either ID or slug:
```
z_get_posts_in_zone( $zone )
```
Get a WP_Query object for a given zone, accepts either ID or slug:
```
z_get_zone_query( $zone );
```
More functions listed in `functions.php`.

## Ìgbéwọlẹ̀
1. Unzip contents and upload to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Go to Dashboard > Zones to create and manage your zones, and easily search for
and add existing posts.
4. Use the pluginÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s handy API functions to add zones to your theme
that retrieve and display your content. Or, for those who are a bit code-averse,
go to Appearance-Widgets and add Zone Posts widgets to display your zone posts
in your sidebar or footer. The widget will pull the posts from the chosen zone.
### Usage examples
You can work with a zoneÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s posts either as an array or a WP_Query
object.
**WP_Query**
```
$zone_query = z_get_zone_query( 'homepage' );
if ( $zone_query->have_posts() ) :
while ( $zone_query->have_posts() ) : $zone_query->the_post();
echo '' . get_the_title() . '';
endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_query();
```
**Posts Array**
```
$zone_posts = z_get_posts_in_zone( 'homepage' );
foreach ( $zone_posts as $zone_post ) :
echo '' . get_the_title( $zone_post->ID ) . '';
endforeach;
```
## FAQ
### How do I disable the locking feature?
You can use a filter:
```
add_filter( 'zoninator_zone_max_lock_period', 'z_disable_zoninator_locks' );
```
### How do I change the locking feature settings?
Filter the following and change according to your needs:
* Number of seconds a lock is valid for, default `30`: `zoninator_zone_lock_period`
* Max idle time in seconds: `zoninator_zone_max_lock_period`

I have a idea for my blog, where some topic divided to few different posts ans user
can freely navigate between different parts of it. This plugin helped me a lot!
Thanks developer!
