This plugin adds a complete event management system to sites built with Advanced Custom Fields Pro. It is designed for developers and site builders who need a structured, extensible way to handle event listings without relying on a separate, heavy-weight events platform.

• Custom Event Post Type & Fields: Creates a dedicated 'event' content type with fields for dates, times, venues, and links, all managed through the ACF Pro interface.
• Structured Data Output: Automatically generates schema.org markup for events, which can help with visibility in search results.
• Flexible Display Shortcodes: Use shortcodes to show upcoming, past, or all events. Control the style (standard or compact), filter by category, and adjust sorting.
• Archive Grouping & Settings: Past events can be displayed in an accordion grouped by year. A settings page allows control over date formats, Google Maps integration, and default display options.
• Developer Extensibility: The plugin provides actions and filters, such as squarecandy_filter_events_fields, allowing developers to modify the ACF field groups or the post type support features to fit specific project needs.
