Shortcodes

This page shows shortcodes that are currently available for Event Smart.

Using Shortcodes

A shortcode is a Event Smart specific code that lets you do nifty things with very little effort. Shortcodes can embed files or create objects, display lists, etc. that would normally require lots of complicated, ugly code in just one line. Shortcode = shortcut.

Copy and paste a shortcode into the content area of a page or post. You can also and/or modify the shortcode to make it specific to your event or attendees.

Event Listings Shortcode

Showed your events including expired events [ESPRESSO_EVENTS show_expired=true]

Set a custom title for the event list

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS title="My Super Event List"]

Limit (paginate) the number of events that are shown in the event list on a page or post [ESPRESSO_EVENTS limit=5]

List attendees with a specific registration status [ESPRESSO_EVENT_ATTENDEES status=status_code_here]
