<h4>About</h4>
<p>With this lightweight plugin you can create an event list.</p>
<p>To display your event list you can use a block, a shortcode or a widget.</p>
<p>Support for RSS and iCal feeds is included.</p>
<p>You can customize your event list via the settings page or with attributes.</p>
<h4>How to use</h4>
<p>After installation go to menu item “Events”. You can add your events here.</p>
<p>Add the VS Event List block or the shortcode <code>[vsel]</code> to a page to display your event list.</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>Or go to Appearance > Widgets and use the VS Event List widget.</p>
<p>You can customize your event list via the settings page or with attributes.</p>
<h4>Settings page</h4>
<p>You can customize your event list via the settings page. This page is located at Settings > VS Event List.</p>
<p>Settings can be overridden when using the relevant attributes below.</p>
<p>This can be useful when having multiple event lists on your website.</p>
<h4>Attributes</h4>
<p>You can also customize your event list by adding attributes to the block, the shortcode or the widget. Attributes will override the settings page.</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>


VS Event List

With this lightweight plugin you can create an event list.

<p>As web site owner, Attending Users will help you in adding an attending list to the bottom of your posts. Registered users can click on the Submit button of the list in order to have their names added or removed. User names act as author page links, no matter how you have set your Permalinks.</p>
<h4>Usage:</h4>
<p>After you install the plugin, you can go to the settings page and change them as you like. In the Settings page<br />
you can add support for your custom content types, add new titles to chose from when creating attending lists or change the labels of buttons (ex. Submit, unsubscribe). A new meta-box, called Attending List, will be present (meta-box is for example is the box for tags or categories) when you go to create a new post or edit existing one. From that meta-box you can chose a title for your list. When the post is saved/published the list will be added at the bottom of the page. To remove already created list: select the empty option for title. Any logged in user can click on the button for Attending at a list. Not registered users will see a message, telling them that they have to register if they want to have their names added to the list.</p>
<h4>What should you know more?</h4>
<ul>
<li>If a user has both First and Last name added to his profile, than both of them will be presented on a list. If one of those names is not filled in, than the login name is used. The idea is to keep all names on the list unique.</li>
<li>The plugin removes it’s database tables and options when deleted.</li>
<li>The plugin will work with custom database prefix.</li>
<li>The plugin has a Class with unique name. By doing so, the chances of conflict with functions from other plugins has been reduced.</li>
<li>Every function starts with a comment explaining what it is supposed to do.</li>
<li>There is plugin version defined in the code, which will make it easier for further updates.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Incompatibility:</h4>
<p>Attending Users doesn’t work as expected if <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/like/" rel="ugc">Like</a> plugin is active. The result of<br />
incompatibility is in adding twice the user name to a list. No solution has been found yet. You can try using <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-social-buttons" rel="ugc">Simple Social<br />
Buttons</a> instead of Like. Please, report if you find any other plugins causing problems.</p>
<h4>List of posts where user has clicked Attend on author’s template</h4>
<p>At the end of the plugin, I’ve shared few lines of code (commented out) that can improve your author’s template. That code will unlock the feature of listing all posts where a user has clicked Attend. Copy the code and paste it right before the loop of your author.php file.</p>


Attending Users

Attending Users helps you add a list under your post, where users can add themselves as Attending. It's great for event post.
