Simple Events List

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 Evangelical Movement of Wales.

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!

1. Download the plugin, and unzip it.
2. Place the simple-events-list folder in your wp-content/plugins folder and upload it to your website.
3. Activate the plugin from the plugins tab of your WordPress admin.
4. Create a WordPress post or page with the text [events_list]. The plugin will display your events on this page.
