Description
WordPress Events gives you a simple interface for adding events to your site and displays them in a beautiful calendar with pop up details.
Simply add events in an interface you are already used to and display your calendar by adding the shortcode [calendar]
to any page of post!
New in 0.2 !
Multiple user calendars! Allow individual users to have their own calendar and display different calendars by specifying a user id in the shortcode. For example [calendar user=2] will display the calendar for the user with an ID of 2.
Built in sharing generates tiny urls that when linked to opens the shared event in a pop up just as if the user had clicked on it.
Google maps integration allows you to add a map of the venue.
