This plugin fetches and presents live music event data from a separate, external database onto a website. It is designed for bands, venues, or event organizers who manage a primary gig calendar on one site and need to show that schedule publicly on another. The setup requires configuring a database connection to the source site.

• Flexible Shortcodes: Use the [display-carniegigs] shortcode with simple parameters to control what is shown. You can list all events, or filter specifically for time="past" or time="future" gigs.
• Display Format Options: Choose the level of detail for your listings. The display="short" parameter shows a compact view, while display="long" provides a more detailed event layout.
• Automatic Time Handling: The plugin intelligently formats event times, omitting display for midnight (00:00:00) to keep listings clean when a specific time isn't set.
• External Data Source: It connects directly to a specified external database, meaning your public site's event list updates automatically when the source data changes, without manual copying.
• Simple Configuration: After activation, setup involves entering the source database connection details in the plugin settings, then placing the shortcode on any page or post.
