Yearly View FAQ
How do I add the Yearly View to a page?
Go to M.E. Calendar > Shortcodes, add a new shortcode, choose Yearly 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.
