DA Media Gig List enables you to create a configurable gig list to display on your WordPress site. It will manage all gigs and venues along with their corresponding details. It provides multiple options to display a configurable gig list to suit your specific requirements.
The plugin creates two new Custom Post Types, one for Gigs and one for Venues.
The Venue post type contains extra fields for the venue address and contact details as well as a Google Maps link.
The Gig post type provides extra fields for the Gig’s date and start time plus a link to a Venue.
The plugin provides options to display the Gig List as an overridable templated page or via a shortcode in widgets, posts and pages. Gigs are shown in date order and may be grouped by either year or month or with no grouping at all.
Also included is an admin page with a simple to use UI to create a shortcode by selecting your choices from all available options in a dynamic set of dropdown fields and date-pickers. This can then be simply copy & pasted into your page, post or widget.
<h4>Shortcode</h4>
The format of the short code to display the gig list in pages, posts and widgets is:
<code>[damlgiglist group_by="Month|Year|None" sort_by="date_asc|date_desc" list_title="My gig list" start_date="tomorrow" end_date="last day of December this year" limit="10" show_headers="Y|N"]</code>
The <code>group_by</code> parameter will group the gigs by month or year if “Month” or “Year” is supplied as the parameter. Any other value will suppress all grouping.
The <code>sort_by</code> parameter will sort the gigs ascending date “date_asc” is supplied as the parameter or descending date if “date_desc” is supplied.
The <code>list_title</code> parameter can be used to override the plugin settings default. Specifying an empty title remove the title altogether even if there is a value in the plugin settings default title.
The <code>start_date</code> and <code>end_date</code> parameters are used to set which gigs are shown. You can use textual PHP format relative dates – <a href="https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.relative.php" rel="nofollow ugc">see more information here</a>. If you require a fixed date, it must be specified in the format: <code>YYYY-MM-DD</code>. Any gigs outside the supplied from and to dates will not be shown. The date parameters default to the default dates set in the Gig List Settings admin page if no values are supplied or the parameters are omitted.
The <code>limit</code> parameter will limit the number of gigs shown to the value supplied (i.e. if limit=”5″ then only the first 5 matching gigs will be shown). Omitting this parameter will show all matching gigs.
The <code>show_headers</code> parameter will show the column headers in the gig list display when the parameter is set to “Y” and will hide them when set to “N”.
<h4>Widget</h4>
Since v1.6.0, a widget is now provided with the same options as the Shortcode Builder page, but inside a widget that can be placed in any sidebar area on the WordPress Widgets admin screen.
<h4>Templates</h4>
Since v1.1.0, the plugin now supports theming by overriding the Gig, Venue and Gig List templates (only the post archive template, not the shortcode as of yet). Simply copy the appropriate template from the <code>/inc/templates</code> directory within the plugin to the root of your current theme and adapt it to your own needs or to match your chosen theme. We strongly recommend you only do this with a <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/" rel="nofollow ugc">child theme</a> so that your new template will not be lost when updating the theme.
<h4>CSV Import</h4>
From v1.7.0, Gigs and Venues may now be imported from CSV files. A “DAMedia GigList CSV” importer is available within the “Tools > Import” admin menu page. The import page also offers links to download sample Gig and Venue CSV files to use as the basis of your own imports. All fields and optional featured images (by loading from a specified URL) can be loaded via these CSV files.
