Event Rocket
============

This is an experimental addon that furnishes
[The Events Calendar/Events Calendar PRO](http://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/) with super powers.

* [Checkout the wiki](https://github.com/barryhughes/event-rocket/wiki)
* [Visit the plugin homepage on wordpress.org](http://wordpress.org/plugins/event-rocket/)

Basic usage:

* It's a regular WordPress plugin!
* Activate The Events Calendar and optionally Events Calendar Pro (recommended) - this plugin depends on them
* Add a shortcode like `[event_rocket_calendar]` to a page or post
* The calendar widget should appear wherever you added that shortcode!
* You can even add params like `[event_rocket_calendar count="3"]` to limit the number of events listed beneath the calendar

## Use it to embed events, organizers and venues anywhere!

* Shortcodes like `[event_embed]` and `[organizer_embed]` make this easy
* There is even a programmatic means of embedding, ie `venue_embed()->get()` (pass extra params in an array)
* Powerful capabilities including cross-blog sharing and more `[event_embed blog="5" from="tomorrow"]` (list events
from blog ID 5 from tomorrow onwards)

## Use it to embed widgets in pages and posts

* `[event_rocket_calendar]` embeds the calendar widget
* `[event_rocket_list]` embeds the list widget
* `[event_rocket_countdown]` embeds the event countdown widget
* `[event_rocket_venue]` embeds the featured venue widget

## How can I specify the venue or event ID?

Both the countdown and venue widgets need to know which event or venue you are referring to. All of the following are
examples of acceptable ways to pass this information:

* `[event_rocket_venue id="123"]` which is nice and short
* `[event_rocket_venue venue_id="123"]` is also allowed
* `[event_rocket_countdown id="789"]` this time the ID relates to the event
* `[event_rocket_countdown event_id="789"]` again you can be more explicit if you wish

## How can I make the countdown widget display seconds?

You can let it know you want the seconds to be displayed by using the `show_seconds` attribute, something like this:

* `[event_rocket_countdown id="789" show_seconds="true"]`

## How can I get this marvelous plugin?

You can download it right here on Github - look for the *Download Zip* link. You can also obtain it from the
[WordPress plugin directory](http://wordpress.org/plugins/event-rocket/) ... as with all "officially listed"
plugins that also means you can benefit from automated updates, etc.
