Event Codes – Shortcodes that work with other event plugins vs Just Events

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. [event_codes showtime=’true’] Description (description) This controls whether the description of the event is to be shown or not. The option is description with value true/false. Default is true. [event_codes description=’false’] Number of events (count) Specifies the total number of events that are to be shown. Default is 5. Option value is count. [event_codes count=’4’] Offset (offset) Option offset is to skip a given number of events while listing. A good use case is when you want to split your event list into columns with multiple shortcodes. Default is 0. [event_codes offset=’3’] Category (cat) Displays the events based on the category. Can be used to display events belonging to different categories separated by comma. Option is cat. [event_codes cat=’music,sports’] Exclude Category (skip-cat) Skips displaying the events of a particular category. Option is skip-cat. [event_codes skip-cat=’music’] Tags (tag) Filters events based on tags. For multiple tags use commas. Option is tag [event_codes tag=’music,sports’] Past Events (past) This will display the list of all the past events. Option value is past & default is false. [event_codes past=’true’] Featured Events (featured) This will display the list of all the featured events. Default is false & option is featured. [event_codes featured=’true’] Show View All (show-view-all) This will decide if the the “View All” action should be displayed or no. Default is true & option is show-view-all. [event_codes show-view-all=’false’] Show Load More (show-load-more) This will decide if the the “Load More” action should be displayed or no. Default is true & option is show-load-more. [event_codes show-load-more=’false’] Title (title) This will allow to set a heading to the events displayed. If title is not entered as the shortcode option, then default value for future events will be “Upcoming Events” and in case of past and featured events the heading will be “Past Events” and “Upcoming Featured Events” respectively. [event_codes title =’Events this Week’]

The Just Events plugin registers a new event post type (just_event) to your WordPress site for easily adding events. The plugin provides the basic functionality to add events to your site for those looking for a very minimal solution without all the extra bloat of “traditional” event/calendar plugins. For this reason you won’t find features like calendars, repeating events, tons of shortcodes, tickets, custom templates, etc. This plugin works best with a “Full Site Editing” block theme so you can easily create your archives and single event templates using the included Event Date, Event Time, Event Status and Event Link blocks or with a compatible Classic WordPress theme such as our Total WordPress theme. Features Event post type. Event fields for setting event details (all day, start date, end date, start time, end time and link). Works with Block and Classic themes. Uses theme templates and styles for a slim, fast and more compatible plugin. Four useful blocks: Event Date, Event Time, Event Link and Event Status. Two useful shortcodes: [just_events_event_date] and [just_events_event_time]. Option to hide past events from event archives. Options to customize the event post type single and archive slugs. Options to set your default event date and time format. Options to modify the default formatted date and time separator.
