Event Organiser Posterboard Plugin

Adds an 'event board' to display your events in a responsive posterboard.

Further documentation can be found at http://docs.wp-event-organiser.com/shortcodes/posterboard/.

Basic Usage

To display the event posterboard simply use the shortcode [event_board] on any page or post. Full width pages work best.

Advanced Usage

The shortcode supports the same arguments as the events list shortcode. This
includes the ability to display only a particular category, or events satisfying a certain query.

For example, to show events only for category “foobar”:

 [event_board event_category="foobar"]

To show events starting in the comming 7 days

 [event_board event_category="foobar"]

Most arguments supported by the [eo_events] (see documentation) shortcode will also work with
posterboard. Please note that posts_per_page should be used instead of
numberposts and the no_events attributes is not supported.

E.g. to show events which start this week (week starting Monday), three at a time:

 [event_board event_start_after="monday this week" event_start_before="sunday this week" posts_per_page=3]

Filters

You can add filters at the top of the event board to filter the events. Supported filters include:

venue
category
city (when installed with Event Organiser Pro)
state (when installed with Event Organiser Pro)
country (when installed with Event Organiser Pro)

For example

 [event_board filters="state"]

You can display multiple filters by listing them as a comma delimited list

 [event_board event_start_after="now" event_start_before="+1 week"]

You can edit the template used for the event board. See the FAQ.

Installation

Installation and set-up is standard and straight forward.

Upload event-organiser-event-board folder (and all it’s contents!) to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
Add the shortcode to a page.

FAQ

Can I change the content of the event boxes?

Yes. By default the plug-in uses the template found in event-organiser-event-board/templates.
Simply copy that template (single-event-board-item.html) into your theme and edit it there. Please note
that the template uses underscore.js templating.

Can I disable/change the styling?

Yes, the following code in a plug-in/theme can disable (deregister) the stylesheet, and (optionally) register a replacement:

function my_custom_posterboard_styles(){ //Deregister default styles wp_deregister_style( 'eo_posterboard' ); //Optional, register "event-board.css" from your theme directory. wp_register_style( 'eo_posterboard', get_template_directory_uri() . '/event-board.css', array() ); } add_action( 'init', 'my_custom_posterboard_styles', 999 );

Alternatively you can use the setting in Settings > Event Organiser > General to disable all Event Organiser’s stylesheets. This may affect the
performance of some features if you do not provide your own styling in your theme.
