Lets you create posts that represent future events. They're posts but in the future! Great for schedules and calendars.
Install the gem:
[sudo] gem install jekyll-events
In a plugin file within your Jekyll project's _plugins directory:
# _plugins/my-plugin.rb
require "jekyll-events"
Using bundler to manage gems for your Jekyll project? (Which you totally should, because its awesome.)
Just add:
gem "jekyll-events"
to your gemfile and create the following plugin in your projects _plugins
directory. This will automatically require all of the gems specified in your Gemfile.
# _plugins/bundler.rb
require "rubygems"
require "bundler/setup"
Bundler.require(:default)
Anywhere you need some future dated events create an _events
directory. Add any properly formatted files inside this directory just
like you would with posts.
Only events dated in the future will be published, events in the past are excluded. Remember, because its a statically generated site if you want events to automatically expire you will have to do some crontab scheduling or similar to autmatically republish your site.
