About the plugin (knowledge for the web team)
The Itinerary builder itself is written built and maintained by Adam Palcich and his team.
We (web team) maintain a WordPress short code plugin that make API calls to Itinerary builder to fetch events data, format and sort by time, then display them on our WordPress site.
The short code plugin is at cornell-alumni/web/wp-content/plugins/cornell-schedule-shortcode/cornell-schedule-shortcode.php

| Code Block |

[cornell_schedule builder=2 tags="CF2AB44D-FDC0-40E4-ACB720B25CFB87F0"] |
Every year, we (web team) find all the class related tags, paste them in a spreadsheet, then share them with the user (reunion/homecoming web page editor), who will then enter the short code on each page that needs a schedule to be displayed.
There are two folders (reunion, homecoming) stored on alumni.cornell.edu Wordpress site server along with other static web pages. The folders are given to us by Adam and are usually updated once a year when he makes changes.
