Pie Calendar Pro 1.3.8 introduces two highly requested new views and a powerful duration control, giving you more flexibility in how you display your events.
New Views
The first of the new views, Month – List With Image view, showcases all events for the selected month with a clean, organized layout, including the event title, excerpt, start/end times, and featured image. Events are grouped by day for a polished presentation, and what you see in the block editor matches exactly what your visitors will see on the front end. This view also supports the new duration control.
The second new view, called List – Upcoming, provides a compact, minimalist list of events, ideal for space-limited areas or simpler layouts and supports the brand new duration control.
The new duration control works with both views and allows you to display multiple months of events at once. For example, you can set it to 3 months to show all upcoming events in that period, or extend it to 6 months to cover events well into the future. You can show up to the next 24 months of events.
Both views and the duration attribute are also available via shortcode, giving you full flexibility regardless of how you add Pie Calendar to your site. With these updates, Pie Calendar Pro is now more flexible, visually appealing, and easier than ever to use for any kind of events website.
See the video below for a demonstration of both new views and the duration control:
The Views API
For developers, we’ve release documentation on the Views API which we created and used in order to implement the new views in this release. You can find the full documentation at https://docs.piecalendar.com/article/60-creating-a-custom-view.
