Countdown Widget in the Event Listing Itself

[Lee]

Wondering if there is a way to have the countdown widget embedded in the Event Listing

[Josh]

Hello Lee,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

This can be accomplished in a couple of different ways, however will still require a bit of customization and digging into some code.

1. <span style=”line-height: 13px;”>You could register a new sidebar that you then output within your single-event.php template using the customization tips within the Themer’s Guide. You would then need to recreate the countdown widget implementing a minor modification. Rather than pull a specified event, you would use the current event being displayed.</span>
2. A slightly more complicated approach would be to recreate the functionality from the widget in the single-event.php file. Using the Themer’s Guide referenced above. With this approach, you will need to grab the necessary function from “events-calendar-pro > lib> widget-countdown.class.php” as well as ensure that the necessary javascript (widget-countdown.js) is being enqueued on the single event template.

I’m sorry I wasn’t able to give you a direct response however I hope this was able to point you in the right direction.

Thanks!
