Difference time scheme in event list widget

[dentie]

Hi

I have an event calendar with events divided into two categories:
– seminars
– workshops

I would like to display the events list widget, but I don’t want it to simply display the next 5 upcoming events. I want it to:
– start showing the seminars three months before start date
– start showing the workshops twelve months before start date

Would this be a functionality the event calendar PRO supports?

Thank you.

Good evening Dana and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

Thank you for your interest in our products and we’ll be glad to answer your questions.

I would like to display the events list widget, but I don’t want it to simply display the next 5 upcoming events. I want it to:
– start showing the seminars three months before start date
– start showing the workshops twelve months before start date

The Pro add-on would definitely get you closer to achieving this as it provides additional features both in the widgets themselves and in the ability to use the widgets as shortcodes. You can read all about it here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-widget-shortcodes/

But, there is no start and end date parameter available per se. That would have to be done through a template customization OR by doing it semi-manually (e.g.: using tags such as “May, June, July, etc..” and manually updating the widget’s parameters every month or so)

Additionally, you can vote for that very feature here: https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/11012958-widgets-shortcodes-add-start-date-and-end-date

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.
