Creating a Custom Event Management System (Part 01)

In this training, Kevin uses ACF + WPGB Facets to build a custom event management system in Bricks.

Key Features

1. Single-day event management
2. Event categorization
3. Event timeline (start/end)
4. Automatically hide past events
5. Event Type (Free/Paid)
6. Event price (If Paid)
7. Search facet
8. Category filter facet
9. Date Sort Facet (By event date, not post date)
10. Alphabetical Facet
11. Clickable event cards w/ date, times, price

Using a custom event management system keeps everything native and lets you avoid heavy, overbearing event management plugins. It also helps you tailor event management to the needs of your client.

Coming in Part 2

• Multi-day event support
• Per-day schedule?
• Grid display selector (list vs. grid)
• Event landing page
• …? What do you want to see?

Let’s work together to build a super robust and flexible event management system and I’ll package up all the parts (custom fields, facets, templates, etc.) and offer them as a free download to all IC members!
