Showing your events on your own site

Showing your events on your own site

Your events already exist: all that is missing is telling your site where to show them. You do it with shortcodes — a word in square brackets that you type into a page, and that shows something in its place.

The three you will almost always want

ShortcodeWhat it shows
[mybo_events]The list of upcoming shows. This is your «What’s on» page.
[mybo_event_buy_form]The buying form, inside a show’s own page.
[mybo_auth]Sign-in and registration, for people who want to find their tickets again.

There are seventy more, for building a show page piece by piece: the date, the poster, the performers, the countdown, the running time. The full list, with an example for each, lives in the panel under Configuration → Shortcodes.

How it looks is up to you

Colours, type, spacing and the number of columns on every public page are set from MyBoxOffice → Customise, with a preview that updates as you go. You set them separately for desktop, tablet and phone, so a table that sits comfortably on a big screen can become a single column on a handset.

The plugin needs neither your theme nor a page builder: it brings everything it needs with it. Change theme and your selling pages stay exactly as they were.
