Are there shortcodes in events calendar pro?

[granatdesign]

I would like to use a full-width template for calendar view and a sidebar-template for single events view. Is this possible?

Is there a way to add a shortcode to a page to make it a standalone calendar page?

[dwool]

I am also interested in inserting the calendar as a shortcode, to be used within a column short code. Is this possible?

I’m not aware of any shortcodes, but if you’re comfortable with php there’s a plugin called Global Content Blocks (http://wordpress.org/plugins/global-content-blocks/) that will allow you to use some of the ECP template tags to create your own ‘shortcodes’. This will effectively let you plug them into any regular page. I used this method to pull upcoming events, or for the mini calendar in the pro version.

Hi guys,

snorton’s answer is probably the best- The Events Calendar does not have any shortcodes, but it sounds like that plugin is a good replacement that cooperates with our plugins. If you guys are really keen on shortcodes, please add your votes to the relevant post on our User Voice forum.

Thanks!

Can you provide an example of how you did this? I am trying to add this to my site without any luck. Thanks!

In the following example, I’ve utilized the WordPress the_widget function to call the mini calendar from the pro version. I also am changing the title tag of this calendar to an h5 tag, so thus the before_title and after_title values. All you have to do is add this to the editor in a new Global Content Block. Don’t forget to change the TYPE to PHP as that may be the root of your problem since it’s not working for you. If you’re wanting something more specific I might be able to help you with that.
the_widget(‘TribeEventsMiniCalendarWidget’,null,’before_title=<h5>&after_title=</h5>’);

Thank you!! I will try that!

I put your exact code into the Global Content Block and added it to my page and I cannot get this to work. I tried putting different IDs in there as well and nothing was showing up. I guess I need to explore a different solution. Thanks for your help.

[snorton]

Can you go to edit the global content block and share a screenshot of how you have it configured?

Just wanted to make sure you saw snorton’s follow-up here, akbradley57. Let us know what else you need here.

[akbradley57]

Thanks for your help! Sorry, I was away. I couldn’t get it to work the way I had wanted so I went down a different path.

[Rob]

Alright! Thanks for confirming as much. Sorry to hear you took a different direction, but if you ever need anything else from us down the road, just holler.
