Welcome to the forums Tom! Happy Friday.
Our software unfortunately does not include shortcakes…
…yet 😉
It does, however, include a whole set of shortcodes like the powerful [tribe_events] shortcode, which does exactly what you describe: add it to a post, page, or any other shortcode-enabled location on your site, and poof, a full calendar view of your choosing will be rendered there. It’s pretty neat. Check out this Knowledgebase guide for it to get a better sense of what it can (and can’t) do ? https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/embedding-calendar-views-tribe_events-shortcode/
There are other shortcodes that offer more specific functions and displays, too. To explore all of these options, check out all of the “Shortcodes”-tagged articles in our Knowledgebase, which you can find here ? https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase-tag/shortcodes/
Please let me know if this information helps and if there are any other issues or questions I can try to help with.
Cheers,
George
