The Events Calendar Shortcode

This plugin adds a shortcode for use with The Events Calendar Plugin (by Modern Tribe).

With this plugin, just add the shortcode on a page to display a list of your events. For example to show next 8 events in the category festival:

[ecs-list-events cat="festival" limit="8"]

Shortcode Options:

• Basic shortcode: [ecs-list-events]
• cat – Represents single event category. [ecs-list-events cat='festival'] Use commas when you want multiple categories [ecs-list-events cat='festival, workshops']
• limit – Total number of events to show. Default is 5. [ecs-list-events limit='3']
• order – Order of the events to be shown. Value can be ‘ASC’ or ‘DESC’. Default is ‘ASC’. Order is based on event date. [ecs-list-events order='DESC']
• date – To show or hide date. Value can be ‘true’ or ‘false’. Default is true. [ecs-list-events eventdetails='false']
• venue – To show or hide the venue. Value can be ‘true’ or ‘false’. Default is false. [ecs-list-events venue='true']
• excerpt – To show or hide the excerpt and set excerpt length. Default is false.
  • [ecs-list-events excerpt='true'] //displays excerpt with length 100
  • [ecs-list-events excerpt='300'] //displays excerpt with length 300
• thumb – To show or hide thumbnail image. Default is false. [ecs-list-events thumb='true'] //displays post thumbnail in default thumbnail dimension from media settings.
• You can use thumbwidth and thumbheight to customize the thumbnail size [ecs-list-events thumb='true' thumbwidth='150' thumbheight='150'] or thumbsize for a registered WordPress size [ecs-list-events thumb='true' thumbsize='large']
• message – Message to show when there are no events. Defaults to ‘There are no upcoming events at this time.’
• viewall – Determines whether to show ‘View all events’ or not. Values can be ‘true’ or ‘false’. Default to ‘true’ [ecs-list-events cat='festival' limit='3' order='DESC' viewall='false']
• contentorder – Manage the order of content with commas. Default to title, thumbnail, excerpt, date, venue. [ecs-list-events cat='festival' limit='3' order='DESC' viewall='false' contentorder='title, thumbnail, excerpt, date, venue']
• month – Show only specific Month. Type 'current' for displaying current month only or 'next' for next month [ecs-list-events cat='festival' month='2015-06']
• past – Show Outdated Events. [ecs-list-events cat='festival' past='yes']
• key – Hide the event when the start date/time has passed [ecs-list-events cat='festival' key='start date']
• orderby – Order by end date [ecs-list-events orderby='enddate']

Additional options and benefits in the pro version

• raw_excerpt – Avoid filtering any HTML (spacing, links, etc) in the excerpt
• year – Show only events for a specific year
• date range – Show only events between certain days
• timeonly – To show just the start time of the event. [ecs-list-events timeonly=’true’]
