## Description

**GigManager** is a WordPress plugin for managing and displaying live shows. Whether
you are a musician, a band, a DJ, a comedian, a speaker… or any kind of performer,
GigManager helps you manage and display your live shows using simple shortcodes.

The plugin uses native WordPress custom post types for Shows, Artists, Venues, and
Tours, giving you a familiar editing experience with full support for revisions,
trash, and bulk actions.

#### Features

 * **Show management** — Create shows with date, time, artist, venue, tour, ticket
   URL, external link, notes, and status (sold out or cancelled).
 * **Artists, Venues, and Tours** — Manage reusable artist, venue, and tour records
   linked to your shows.
 * **Shortcode** — Display upcoming, past, or all shows anywhere on your site with
   the `[gigmanager_shows]` shortcode.
 * **Three display templates** — Choose from list (card-style), table, or classic(
   two-row) layouts.
 * **Sidebar widget** — Show a compact list of upcoming shows in any widget area.
 * **Customize to your liking** — You can override any of the templates. Paste them
   into your theme’s `gigmanager/` directory to customize the output.
 * **Customizable labels** — Rename “Show”, “Artist”, “Tour”, and more from the 
   settings page with ease.
 * **CSV import and export** — Bulk import artists, venues, tours, and shows via
   CSV. Export your data at any time.
 * **Sticky defaults** — Optionally pre-fill artist, venue, and tour fields based
   on your last entry.
 * **Onboarding** — A dashboard widget guides you through initial setup.

#### Shortcode Usage

    ```
    [gigmanager_shows]
    ```

Parameters:

 * `scope` — `upcoming` (default), `past`, `today`, or `all`
 * `artist` — Filter by artist slug or ID
 * `limit` — Maximum number of shows to display
 * `sort` — `ASC` (default for upcoming) or `DESC`
 * `template` — `list` (default), `table`, or `classic`

Examples:

Show the last 10 events with the table template:

    ```
    [gigmanager_shows scope="past" limit="10" template="table"]
    ```

Show upcoming shows for the artist with the slug “the-foo-bars”:

    ```
    [gigmanager_shows artist="the-foo-bars" scope="upcoming"]
    ```

## FAQ

### Can I customize the front-end templates?

Yes. Copy any template file from `plugins/gigmanager/templates/` into your theme
at `your-theme/gigmanager/` and modify it as needed.

### What timezone does the plugin use?

GigManager uses your site’s timezone as configured in **Settings  General  Timezone**.

### Can I use this for multiple artists?

Yes. You can create as many artists as you need and filter shows by artist using
the shortcode’s `artist` parameter.

### Can I move my data between sites?

Yes. Use the built-in CSV export on one site and the CSV import on another to move
your artists, venues, tours, and shows.
