We’re excited to announce the release of the latest version of the MusicIDB Events Calendar WordPress plugin – this new version introduces two highly-requested views—Posterboard View and Big Pics View—designed to provide your visitors with an even more immersive experience.
1. Posterboard View: A Dynamic, Engaging Layout for Your Events
The Posterboard View is perfect for visually-oriented users who want to showcase events in a dynamic, grid-like format. In this view, each event is presented as a “poster” on a visual board, offering users an overview of multiple events at once. The posterboard layout not only provides an attractive visual display but also allows for easy navigation between events.
Key Features of Posterboard View:
- Grid Layout: Events are organized in an appealing grid style, creating a clean, structured look.
- Quick Event Info: Key details, such as event name, date, and location appear below each event poster.
- Clickable Posters: Visitors can click on each event for more detailed information and a full description.
- Responsive Design: This view is fully responsive, ensuring that it looks great on any device, whether it’s a desktop, tablet, or mobile.
The Posterboard View is ideal for websites looking to capture the attention of users with an engaging and visually stimulating display.

2. Big Pics View: Showcase Your Events in Full-Size Imagery
The Big Pics View is perfect for those who want to make a bold statement with large, eye-catching images for each event. This view prioritizes high-quality visuals, making it perfect for promoting concerts, festivals, and other visually driven events.
Key Features of Big Pics View:
- Large Event Thumbnails: Events are displayed with big, striking images that immediately draw attention.
- Enhanced User Experience: With fewer distractions, this view emphasizes the experience, letting users focus on one event at a time.
- Mobile-Friendly: Like the Posterboard View, the Big Pics View is fully responsive, ensuring that your event listings look just as impressive on smartphones and tablets.
This layout is ideal for venues, artists, or event organizers who want to highlight the visual aspect of their events, providing an immersive and aesthetic browsing experience.
