Title: Event Organiser Posterboard Author: Stephen Harris Published: January 6, 2014 Last modified: May 26, 2021 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/event-organiser-posterboard.svg) # Event Organiser Posterboard By [Stephen Harris](https://profiles.wordpress.org/stephenharris/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/event-organiser-posterboard.3.0.1.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-organiser-posterboard/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-organiser-posterboard/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-organiser-posterboard/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-organiser-posterboard/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/event-organiser-posterboard/) ## Description **Further documentation can be found at [http://docs.wp-event-organiser.com/shortcodes/posterboard/](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](http://docs.wp-event-organiser.com/shortcodes/events-list). 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](http://docs.wp-event-organiser.com/shortcodes/events-list/)) 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](http://wp-event-organiser.com/pro-features/)_) * state (_when installed with [Event Organiser Pro](http://wp-event-organiser.com/pro-features/)_) * country (_when installed with [Event Organiser Pro](http://wp-event-organiser.com/pro-features/)_) 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. ## Screenshots [⌊Event posterboard⌉⌊Event posterboard⌉[ Event posterboard [⌊Event posterboard⌉⌊Event posterboard⌉[ Event posterboard ## Installation Installation and set-up is standard and straight forward. 1. Upload `event-organiser-event-board` folder (and all it’s contents!) to the `/wp- content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. 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. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/52a7cf92ce4b61455c10aded5ecf734491a782941cf8ef9b9c3ed3a0e9cdff3c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Nice Plugin, But Seems to Have Been Abandoned](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-plugin-but-seems-to-have-been-abandoned/)󠁿 [donkiely](https://profiles.wordpress.org/donkiely/) December 13, 2019 Update: Rethinking this. Two stars is too harsh. The plugin really does work well, and is a nice addition to the Event Organiser ecosystem. I really wish that we didn’t have to repeatedly deal with security warnings from its age! Generally works well, and is quite simple to use. Easily customized with CSS. But there have been no updates for three years, so every security scan we run tags it as a potential problem. And according to the wordpress.org plugin page, isn’t compatible with the 4.7 branch of WordPress, including 5.x and later. I’ll happily change to 5 stars if it starts getting an update at least every two years, and has its WordPress compatibility updated. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7dfcd546e689766818119e4d5ebc5d132f84fb879f469e09ca679e402d54c352? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent and very flexible](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-and-very-flexible-3/)󠁿 [TiagoPires](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tiasch/) October 21, 2016 Very well documented and flexible to customise plugin. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b1dbc743be928f854dd37198b04fe9e374e893cd9be4a7a44f03145cf6d55b98? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Nice plugin, but….](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-plugin-but-15/)󠁿 [yolandal](https://profiles.wordpress.org/yolandal/) October 20, 2016 I like the plugin and it’s working well, but the #link below is not working.

I’ve tried at least 10 event manager ou calendar and this baby is the easyest to use. It would be nice to be able to add custom fields in the event details.
