This is a very simple event plugin. Some websites that use WordPress as a CMS display information about future events. But keeping the list of events current is a pain. So this plugin simple displays a list of all future events.
To be listed, an event must have its own post or page. To tell the plugin that the page is an event, you add a custom field (if you can’t see custom fields and you’re using WordPress 2.7+, you may need to add it by selecting screen options). Add a custom field with the name event_date and the value YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. 2009-02-03 for 3rd February 2009). Then save the page.
To ouput the list of events add the text [events_list] to any post or page. You can see a demo at the <a href="http://www.emw.org.uk/events/en/" rel="nofollow ugc">Evangelical Movement of Wales</a>.
As I said, it’s very simple. There are no options to tweak, no settings to change. But if it’s what you need, you won’t want to change anything!

Simple Events List

Output a simple list of future events. Each event must have it's own post or page.

Sometimes when you divide up your WordPress content into categories it all ends up in sub-categories of one or two main categories that don’t have any content themselves.
With the widget you can add a list of sub-categories even if the parent doesn’t have posts.
You can display and filter sub-categories in various ways:
<ul>
<li>Use the parent category as the widget title</li>
<li>Show post counts in bracket next to the name</li>
<li>Hide empty sub-categories</li>
<li>Add a link to the parent category to the widget title</li>
<li>Show the full sub-category tree so it include sub-sub categories and so on as well</li>
<li>Display the list as dropdown rather than as links</li>
<li>Use the first category of the current post as the parent</li>
<li>Exclude one or more sub-categories from the list</li>
<li>List the categories in reverse order</li>
</ul>
