Using a shortcode to view a location
One can use shortcodes to create a list of Locations. Example: I made a page which I called Locations list. In it I added the shortcode: [my_calendar_show_locations sort="country"] This will sort the location list by country. Sorting options are: name, city, state, zip, country and region.
Here is a frontend example of the Locations List page.
My Calendar > Page: Locations List > shortcodes > Frontend
There is also the option to add the shortcode that uses the default “name” sorting option: [my_calendar_show_locations] .
There is also template options for the location shortcode. The location template supports these template tags: {id}, {label}, {street}, {street2}, {city}, {state}, {postcode}, {region}, {url}, {country}, {longitude}, {latitude}, {zoom}, {phone}, {phone2}
Here is an example: [my_calendar_show_locations template="{label}, {city}"]
Here is a frontend example of the Locations List page using the above template shortcode. — Image —
