Change display type in widget bar

[waikatodhb]

How can i change the widget in the sidebar just to display the actual events coming up (like the ones below the calendar) and not have the actual calendar on there? Also, i would like to style the grey to different colours. How could i achieve this?

Hi waikatodhb,

I can help you out here. You are looking to use the Event List Widget, but have it styled like the Mini Calendar Widget Correct?

We do not have that ability with the plugin, but I do have some coding you can drop into your theme to modify the list widget to match the mini calendar styling.

You are going to want to take this coding:

And place it in a file name list-widget.php into your theme at this directory:

yourtheme/tribe-events/pro/widgets/list-widget.php

Then add this css:

https://gist.github.com/jesseeproductions/634dabe18851e1cd7d90

Add that css to your theme’s stylesheet or through a plugin such as Simple Custom CSS.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Hi Brian,
I tried to carry out the above so i could just have the list of events that appear under the calender without the actual calendar showing up, but it still remains. I replaced the whole list-widget.php and added the Custom CSS, via my theme options, but still remins the same. Any Ideas?

I see i have to then use the other widget and it is now styled the same way. many thanks!

Great glad you figured it out.

In the Events Calendar 3.9(coming in a couple weeks) the list widget will come styled liked the Mini Calendar Events so you will no longer need to customize this.

Thanks for using the Events Calendar!

Since I haven’t heard back from you here, I’m going to go ahead and close out this thread. Feel free to start a new thread if you have further issues. Thanks! 🙂
