You can use Sagenda as shortcode in any page or plugin :<br />
    [sagenda-calendar-wp]</p>
<p>You can force the Calendar to display only one bookable item. Please then use the shortcode like this :<br />
    [sagenda-calendar-wp fixedbookableitem=”x”]<br />
where x is the “id” of your bookable item. To know the id of your bookable item, you can just go to your bookable item list :  <a href="https://sagenda.net/BookableItems/List" rel="nofollow ugc">https://sagenda.net/BookableItems/List</a> and select “edit”. You can then copy the ID with the copy button.<br />
You can also use this feature with URL query parameter such as adding ?fixedbookableitem=”x” to your URL. Please don’t use both shortcode and query parameter “fixedbookableitem” in the same time.</p>
<p>You can choose the default view<br />

    [sagenda-calendar-wp removeMonthViewButton=”true” removeWeekViewButton=”true” removeWorkWeekViewButton=”true” removeDayViewButton=”true” removeAgendaViewButton=”true”]<br />
This will simply remove the corresponding button to switch from a view to another one. Please understand you can’t remove all views (at least one should be allowed to load). If you remove the “month” view, you have to define a new default : defaultView=”x”.</p>
<p>You can activate view(s) :<br />
Those views are disabled by default, if you want you can add them. Anyway very few people need a timeline view, think twice before adding it.<br />
