Slider View FAQ
How do I add the Slider View to a page?
Go to M.E. Calendar > Shortcodes, add a new shortcode, choose Slider View as the skin, set the options above and publish it. Then copy the generated shortcode (for example [MEC id="123"]) into any page, post or widget.
How do I show only some events?
Open the Filter Options of the same shortcode and limit events by category, location, organizer, label, tag or author. See Making Advanced Shortcodes for every filter.
Can the Slider View show past events?
Yes. In Filter Options > Expired Events, turn on Include Expired Events to show past and upcoming events, or Show Only Expired Events to show only past ones. They are listed from the Start Date you choose.
