Module

Pull and filter entries from a Datatable or Calendar module: repeaters, detail pages, categories, tags, and pagination.

Repeaters (lists of entries)

Shortcode	Description
repeater	The general-purpose list shortcode — dispatches to datatable_repeat or cal_repeat based on type. Requires id (the module's id); optional type (datatable or calendar, default calendar), limit (e.g. 0,4), order, where, display_type (news or events, adjusts the default date filter), category_filter, tag_filter, pages (paginate), offset, website_filter. Use `` inside to print an entry's fields — field names come from the module's Table Schema.
cal_repeat (alias calendar_repeat)	The Calendar-specific version of repeater. Same attributes, minus type.
datatable_repeat	The Datatable-specific version of repeater. Requires id; optional limit, order, where.
repeater_entries_exists	Renders its enclosed content only if a repeater with the same attributes would return entries (or, with type="does_not", only if it wouldn't).
cat_repeat	Lists a Datatable category group's categories. Requires id; optional parent_id (list sub-categories of a category instead), order.

Entry detail

Shortcode	Description
entry	Renders a single entry's detail fields. Auto-detects Calendar vs. Datatable from context, or set id and type="datatable"/calendar explicitly. Automatically hides draft/expired entries.
sub_entry	Like entry, but for referencing a second, related entry nested inside an outer [entry] block. Requires id.
datatable_detail	The Datatable-specific version of entry.
entry_url	The URL to an entry's detail page.
entry_mapping	Renders a UI for mapping one entry to another (creates Datatable_Object_Map rows) — used to build "related entries" pickers in the editor. Requires id (the source module) and type.

Categories & tags

Shortcode	Description
entry_categories_repeat	Lists the categories assigned to an entry. Requires id; optional type (default calendar), limit.
entry_tags_repeat	Lists the tags assigned to an entry. Requires id; optional type (default calendar).
category_list	Lists a module's top-level categories.
sub_category_list	Lists a category's immediate sub-categories.
sub_sub_category_list	Lists a third level of nested categories.
categories_exist	Renders its enclosed content only if the module has any categories.
sub_categories_exist	Renders its enclosed content only if a given category has sub-categories.
calendar_entry_attachments_repeat	Lists an entry's attachments (photo gallery / document share). Requires id. The module's Enable Attachments / Gallery option (Modify > Advanced) must be turned on first.

Pagination & full calendar

Shortcode	Description
js_pager_includes	Self-closing — loads the JS libraries js_pager/js_pager_controls depend on. Include once near the top of the page.
js_pager	Wires a repeater's output up to AJAX paging/sorting/filtering. Requires data_source_id; optional data_source (calendar or datatable), rows, sort, order, plus IDs to bind to any filter shortcodes already on the page (category_filter_input_id, date_filter_input_id, table_filter_input_id, and so on).
js_pager_controls	Renders the Previous/Next/page-number control template js_pager targets. Optional control_id, callback_function.
js_pager_total	Renders a template showing the total result count.
pager_controls	A simpler, non-AJAX Previous/Next control pair for a plain paginated repeater.
js_full_calendar_includes	Self-closing — loads the FullCalendar.io JS/CSS libraries. Required alongside js_full_calendar.
js_full_calendar	Renders an interactive month/week/day calendar view of a Calendar module's entries. Requires calendar_id.
template_repeater	Like repeater, but renders an Underscore.js <script type="text/template"> block (<%=e.field%> syntax) for client-side re-rendering instead of server-side HTML.
template_print_date	Like Print Date, but for use inside a template_repeater/template_cond block (Underscore template syntax).
template_cond (alias template_sub_cond)	Like cond, but for use inside a template_repeater block.
template_value_isset / template_value_isset_assignment	Like value_isset, but for use inside a template_repeater block; the _assignment variant assigns a default instead of just checking.

Filters & archive navigation

Pair these with a repeater and js_pager to build a filterable, paginated list without a page reload — each filter shortcode registers its own input's id in a global that js_pager binds to automatically.

Shortcode	Description
category_filter	Renders a dropdown of a module's categories. Requires calendar_id or category_group_id; optional input_id (defaults to category_filter, binds to js_pager's category_filter_input_id), input_class, order, all_text, all_value, parent_category (list sub-categories of one category only).
date_filter	Renders a dropdown of date-range presets (Today, Last 7 Days, This Year, etc.), plus optional specific years. Optional id (binds to js_pager's date_filter_input_id), class, label, years (comma list, e.g. 2023,2024, or a range like 2020-2024), year_format (range or simple), show_all_option, default_filters.
search_filter	Renders a keyword search box with a submit button. Optional id (binds to js_pager's table_filter_input_id), class, label, show_label, button_id, button_class, button_text, bootstrap_version.
tag_filter	Renders a dropdown of tag values. Optional id, class, tag_values (comma-separated list — shows four placeholder tags if omitted).
month_list	Renders a rolling 12-month archive navigator starting from a given month/year — the pattern behind a "browse by month" blog/news sidebar. Optional start_year, start_month (default: current month/year). Inside the block, use / (full month name), (abbreviated),/(month number),.

Forms backed by a module

Shortcode	Description
form	Renders a Datatable's own configured form (its Form Template). Requires id (the Datatable's id).
solodev_form	Wraps $content in a <form> that submits directly to a Datatable, without a separate form template. Requires datatable_id, dynamic_id; optional action, method (default post).
landing_page_form	Renders a Datatable's form for use on a Calendar entry (landing page/blog post), including honeypot spam protection and re-population on validation error.
form_repeater_search	A simple search box that submits to the current page (pairs with a repeater's built-in table_filter support).
captcha	Renders a CAPTCHA image + input for a form, when not viewing as an admin.
recaptcha	Renders Google reCAPTCHA v3 for a form, if a site-wide reCAPTCHA key is configured.
