Using Trackt details on frontend

There are different ways you could go about this, depending on your needs.

• You could use the “Event List (Traktivity)” widget that is available with the plugin to display recently watched movies and / or TV shows in a sidebar area of your site.
• You could use the Query Loop Block to insert Trakt.tv events saved on your site into a post or page.
• You could hardcode some of that data directly into your theme. Here is an example of an old theme of mine where I had pages dedicated to TV shows, and where I would display a movie runtime and other details on single event pages.
• You could use custom blocks (there are a few here in the plugin directory) to display the events in a custom way.
• You could build a shortcode that fits your needs. Here is a simple shortcode I created to give you an example, that you could add as a plugin on your site right now (you can click on the “Download zip” button on that page and then upload the zip to your site under Plugins > Add New > Upload). I added some details on how it works in the comments, but basically you’d insert it into a weekly post of yours, like so: [traktivity_weekly date="March 2, 2016" max="5"]

In the future, I may release a new version of my plugin with custom blocks that would display movies and tv shows with details, so you wouldn’t need a custom shortcode like above, but I’m afraid I did not get around to do that just yet.

I hope this helps.
