So I figured I'd brush up on some PHP and build my own.</p> <p><strong>Features</strong></p> <p>GigPress incorporates all the common requests you might have for a plugin of its ilk, including:</p> <ul> <li>Ability to list both upcoming shows and past shows, chronologically rolled-over as tour dates pass</li> <li>Grouping of shows into nameable tours</li> <li><a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar">hCalendar</a>-rigged</li> <li>Auto-linking to Google Maps for venues with a street address</li> <li>Fields for venue and ticket-buy URLs, age restrictions, ticket price, and notes</li> <li>Built-in functions to display upcoming shows, past shows, and a sidebar listing</li> <li>Widget support</li> <li>Outputs XHTML-compliant, semantic markup</li> </ul> <p><strong><a href="http://gigpress.com">Download it and read up at the GigPress website</a></strong> </p>
