Cyprus Pharmacies

Description

An easy way to show the all-night today and tomorrow pharmacies of Cyprus per city (Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Paralimni, Paphos).

A simple example

[cypharm show_title=false]

More Options

The plugin supports the following optional parameters:

  • city: select the Cyprus city between Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Paralimni and Paphos (defaults to Paphos)
  • title: Choose a custom title to use (defaults to false)

Performance Features

  • Caching: API responses are cached for 12 hours to improve performance and reduce API calls
  • Cache Management: Admin interface to clear cache when needed
  • Smart Loading: Only makes API calls when cached data is expired or doesn’t exist

Developer Features

  • Customizable Cache Duration: Use the cypharm_cache_duration filter to modify cache duration
  • Cache Management: Programmatic cache clearing with clear_cache() method
  • Extensible: Easy to extend with additional caching features

Customizing Cache Duration

You can customize the cache duration by adding the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:

Set cache to 24 hours:
add_filter( 'cypharm_cache_duration', function() {
return 86400; // 24 hours in seconds
});

Set cache to 1 hour:
add_filter( 'cypharm_cache_duration', function() {
return 3600; // 1 hour in seconds
});

Set cache to 30 minutes:
add_filter( 'cypharm_cache_duration', function() {
return 1800; // 30 minutes in seconds
});

Disable caching (not recommended for production):
add_filter( 'cypharm_cache_duration', function() {
return 0; // No caching
});

Using a named function (recommended):
function my_custom_cypharm_cache_duration() {
return 7200; // 2 hours in seconds
}
add_filter( 'cypharm_cache_duration', 'my_custom_cypharm_cache_duration' );
