Event Codes – Shortcodes that work with other event plugins vs Sortable – Simple Events by Date Manager Block

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.
