Shortcodes

Shortcodes can be used in any of your content (i.e., ".md" files. They provide easy ways to add content without having to write a lot of coding.)

google_form

This shortcode allows for the embedding of a Google form on a page, in a manner that maintains the responsive, mobile-friendly design of the site. To use it, you only need the URL of your form (not the full embed code) and enter this on your page (substituting the proper URL):

{{< google_form "https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScvv-ty_wEBlYkJaEC1OU0qqqbIHjf9JVa-Ptdo5TcHqz5EDA/viewform?usp=sf_link" >}}

tito_widget

Using the tito shortcode enables the embedding of the tito sales widget described on their documentation (https://ti.to/docs/widget). To use it you just need to enter to event path of your tito event which will follow the URL of your event page. For example, if the URL is https://ti.to/devopsdays-london/2019 your event path would be devlopsdays-london/2019. The shortcode also enables the other features described such as the ability to show specific tickets using the examples shown below

{{< tito_widget event="devopsdays-london/2019" >}}

To show only a specific ticket within the widget:

{{< tito_widget event="devopsdays-london/2019" releases="fiaurhghf2k">}}

To show discounted tickets on the page (they display as a striked through full-price along with the new price):

{{< tito_widget event="devopsdays-london/2019" discount-code="examplediscount" >}}
