Event CLNDR vs Event Codes – Shortcodes that work with other event plugins

A handsome, fully featured event calendar for your WordPress site. Developers: look no further, the highly appraised CLNDR.js is now here at your disposal on WordPress straight out of the box. Tweak the CLNDR.js options and fine-tune the master stylesheet and Bob’s your uncle – a painlessly elegant calendar for use in any page/post or widget. With a simple event manager bundled in, you’ll be on your way in seconds without the need of any third party apps or services trying to charge a premium just for the use of the sidebar widget. Usage Use the Instances page to create and modify different displays of your events. Based on the name you chose for your instance, a shortcode will be generated (and shown in the table) for use in any page, post or “Text” widget content field. Each instance can each have a different CLNDR.js template and include more JS options, so the event display could range from a full calendar to a text list of each event. Not a developer? Not to worry, the plugin comes pre-shipped with a couple of front-end calendar instances to get you on your way. For most people, the default options won’t need editing, and all that will need to be done is to edit the master stylesheet to change the colours to match your theming. If you don’t know CSS, this is a great opportunity to get your fingers very slightly dirty – the section of the stylesheet you’ll want to edit is fully commented with which colours do what.

EventCodes plugin provides a shortcode that can be used to display a list of events on home page, sidebar or any other part of the site. With this plugin you can choose from a set of 4 templates for displaying list of events. Currently the EventCodes plugin works with Event Calendar plugin by Modern Tribe. We will be adding support for other event plugins soon. The default code will be [event_codes] which will display the list of 5 most recent Upcoming Events. The short code supports multiple options. For e.g: If you want to display 3 upcoming events belonging to “music” category. [event_codes cat=’music’ count=’3’] Shortcode Options: View Type & Style (view, style) This is used to select the type of view and style to display the event. The default view is list with basic style. [event_codes view= ‘list’ style= ‘basic’] Different types of views: 1)List List view has 3 styles: basic, big date and card overlay [event_codes view=‘list’ style=‘basic’] [event_codes view=‘list’ style=‘big-date’] [event_codes view=‘list’ style=‘card-overlay’] 2)Tabular Tabular view has 2 styles: basic and shadow [event_codes view=‘tabular’ style=‘basic’] [event_codes view=‘tabular’ style=‘shadow’] row value displays alternate gray shade for rows. This can be applied for both styles. [event_codes view=‘tabular’ style=‘shadow’ row=‘alternate-gray’] Show Time (showtime) This is used to display the time of the event. Option used is showtime and can have value true/false. Default is false.
