Quick Events Manager

Guido

<h4>About</h4>
<p>With this lightweight plugin you can create an event list.</p>
<p>Main features of the plugin:</p>
<ul>
<li>Free and lightweight</li>
<li>Support for Block Editor and Classic Editor</li>
<li>Display your event list with block, shortcode or widget</li>
<li>Display upcoming and past events</li>
<li>Share events via RSS or iCal feed</li>
<li>Organise events with categories</li>
<li>Customize your event list via the settings page or with attributes</li>
<li>Add extra content to events with the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin</li>
<li>Documentation at WP plugin page</li>
<li>Active support from developer at WP forum</li>
</ul>
<h4>How to use</h4>
<p>After installation go to menu item “Events” and create some events.</p>
<p>Go to the editor and add the VS Event List block or the shortcode <code>[vsel]</code> to a page. This will display your event list.</p>
<p>Or go to Appearance > Widgets and use the VS Event List widget.</p>
<p>When using the shortcode add the <code>list</code> attribute to display the events you want.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>[vsel list="upcoming"]</code> to display upcoming events (today included)</li>
<li><code>[vsel list="future"]</code> to display future events (today not included)</li>
<li><code>[vsel list="current"]</code> to display current events</li>
<li><code>[vsel list="past"]</code> to display past events (before today)</li>
<li><code>[vsel list="all"]</code> to display all events</li>
</ul>
<p>Without this attribute the default event list is displayed (upcoming events).</p>
<p>Customize your event list via the settings page or with attributes.</p>
<h4>Settings page</h4>
<p>The settings page is located at Settings > VS Event List.</p>
<h4>Attributes</h4>
<p>Settings can be overridden by adding attributes to the block, shortcode, or widget.</p>
<p>This can be useful when having multiple event lists on your website.</p>
<ul>
<li>Add custom CSS class to event list: <code>class="your-class-name"</code></li>
<li>Change the number of events per page: <code>posts_per_page="5"</code></li>
<li>Display all events (without pagination): <code>posts_per_page="-1"</code></li>
<li>Skip one or multiple events: <code>offset="1"</code></li>
<li>Change date format: <code>date_format="j F Y"</code></li>
<li>Display events from a certain category: <code>event_cat="your-category-slug"</code></li>
<li>Display events from multiple categories: <code>event_cat="first-category-slug, second-category-slug"</code></li>
<li>Reverse the order of events in the upcoming, future and current events list: <code>order="DESC"</code></li>
<li>Reverse the order of events in the past and all events list: <code>order="ASC"</code></li>
<li>Change the “no events are found” text: <code>no_events_text="your text"</code></li>
<li>Disable event title link: <code>title_link="false"</code></li>
<li>Disable featured image link: <code>featured_image_link="false"</code></li>
<li>Disable featured image caption: <code>featured_image_caption="false"</code></li>
<li>Disable featured image: <code>featured_image="false"</code></li>
<li>Disable read more link: <code>read_more="false"</code></li>
<li>Disable pagination: <code>pagination="false"</code></li>
<li>Display all event info: <code>event_info="all"</code></li>
<li>Display a summary: <code>event_info="summary"</code></li>
</ul>
<p>Example: <code>[vsel posts_per_page="5" event_cat="your-category-slug" event_info="summary"]</code></p>
<p>When using the block or the widget, don’t add the main shortcode tag or the brackets.</p>
<p>Example: <code>posts_per_page="5" event_cat="your-category-slug" event_info="summary"</code></p>
<h4>Featured image</h4>
<p>Featured images will be used as the primary image for every event.</p>
<p>By default the “post thumbnail” is used as the source for the featured image. The size of the post thumbnail may vary by theme.</p>
<p>WordPress creates duplicate images in different sizes upon upload. These sizes can be set via Settings > Media. If the post thumbnail doesn’t look as expected (low resolution or poor cropping), you can choose a different size via the settings page.</p>
<p>You can also change the width of the featured image.</p>
<p>The featured image on the single event page is handled by your theme.</p>
<h4>Default support</h4>
<p>The plugin creates a custom post type “event”.</p>
<p>This automatically supports the single event page, the event category page, the (event) post type archive page and the search results page. It hooks into the theme template file that is being used by these pages.</p>
<p>Support for the single event page is needed. Support for the other pages is added to make the plugin compatible with page builder plugins. Events on default WP pages are not ordered by event date.</p>
<p>Plugin activates the post attributes box in the editor. In the post attributes box you can set a custom order for events that have the same date. Custom order can be handy when automatic ordering by time is disabled.</p>
<p>Plugin supports the menu page. Support is added to make the plugin compatible with page builder plugins.</p>
<h4>Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)</h4>
<p>You can add extra content to the event details or the event info by using the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields" rel="ugc">Advanced Custom Fields</a> plugin. The most commonly used fields are supported.</p>
<p>Create a field group for the post type “event” and add fields to this group. This new field group will then be added to the editor. With these fields you can add the extra content to each event.</p>
<p>Via the settings page you can decide where to display the extra content.</p>
<h4>RSS and iCal feed</h4>
<p>You can share your upcoming events via an RSS feed.</p>
<p>The default RSS widget will display events from future to upcoming. To reverse this order I recommend using an RSS feed plugin capable of changing the RSS feed order.</p>
<p>You can share your upcoming and past events with an external calendar via an iCal feed.</p>
<p>You can activate both feeds on the settings page.</p>
<h4>Have a question?</h4>
<p>Please take a look at the FAQ section.</p>
<h4>Translation</h4>
<p>Translations are not included, but the plugin supports WordPress language packs.</p>
<p>More <a href="https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/very-simple-event-list" rel="nofollow ugc">translations</a> are very welcome!</p>
<p>The translation folder inside this plugin is redundant, but kept for reference.</p>
<h4>Credits</h4>
<p>Without help and support from the WordPress community I was not able to develop this plugin, so thank you!</p>
