Calendar View "list of events"

[Ryan]

HI,

I noticed in calendar view there is no list of events that falls under the calendar. I’m wondering if that is an option. The reason I’m asking is that we love the photo view set to default on PC but on mobile the calendar view seems to be the best fit for ease for users. But, the calendar view doesn’t have a list of events that users can scroll through if they’d want to. Is there a way to do that?

I’d like something very similar (horizontal list of events) like the map view with list of events below…thank you!

Hi Ryan,

I’m afraid that isn’t supported out of the box – but it’s certainly possible to achieve with a fairly straightforward customization.

A great starting point if you haven’t already read it is our Themer’s Guide which explains how to safely override and customize our templates.

In a custom copy of month/content.php for instance, just after this line:

<?php tribe_get_template_part( 'month/loop', 'grid' ) ?>

You might add a custom function of your own which loads and displays, list style, all events in the current month. A function like tribe_get_events() would be useful in such a case, ie:

$event_list = tribe_get_events( array(
    'eventDisplay' => 'custom',
    'start_date'   => $start_of_month,
    'end_date'     => $end_of_month
) );

You can then cycle through $event_list and display each entry in a list. To determine the start and end of the month you will of course at least need to know which date has been requested, and this can conveniently be obtained via the tribe_get_month_view_date() function.

I hope that helps 🙂
