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!

Me again, 

For of you guys interested in this, I have found a solutions to display the event list in a text widget placed in the sidebar.


You must add a line of code in theme's functions.php file.


add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');


And then you can load a text widget with the shortcode provided by the plugin author: [events_list]


For more info see this link.


Google is the best :)

I have two sub menus, one is Upcoming Events and the other is Past Events.

On each Event posted under Upcoming Events will just a regular post-like page. Nothing fancy.

When the Event had passed. It became Past Event and automatically moved itself to the 'Past Event'.
Now on this condition, the admin can add more info on this past event. Such as photo documentation etc.

Can this plugin more or less does this?

An event that will move itself when expires. And find its way to Sub menu Past Event

If so, then WP will do the job :)

Thanks in advance.

cheers,

shin

can't get this working on a regular blog post.

putting the shortcode [events_list] in a new blog entry comes up blank.

i tried adding the code pffmihai recommended but to no avail (I think that's specific to sidebars anyway).

suggestions anyone?
