Display Current Day's Events Using a Shortcode

[Chris]

Hello,

I have a need to display the events of the current day as a list. I see there is a day.php which I assume does the trick, but my coding skills are not as required, and I can not find any code that resembles what I need.

Is there a shortcode that can be filtered using parameters that can show just today’s events?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can help out here.

We do not have a feature to show only today’s events, but you could use the Event List Widget and this snippet:

/*
* The Events Calendar - Limit the upcoming widget to just event running today
*/
add_filter( 'tribe_events_list_widget_query_args', 'tribe_modify_list_widget_args', 10, 1 );
​
function tribe_modify_list_widget_args ( $args ) {
​
$start_date_init = date ( 'Y-m-d' );
$start_date_end = $start_date_init . ' 23:59:59';
​
$args['meta_query'][] = array('key' => '_EventStartDate','type' => 'DATETIME','compare' => '>=','value' => $start_date_init);
$args['meta_query'][] = array('key' => '_EventStartDate','type' => 'DATETIME','compare' => '<=','value' => $start_date_end);
​
return $args;
}

Add that coding to your child theme’s functions.php (or parent them) and let me know if that works.

Thanks

Thanks Brian, that code looks great for my needs.

In looking at it, I assume that will change the Upcoming Widget for all instances on the site, and if I only want to change a single page instance of the widget, the function contents need to be wrapped in a conditional statement identifying the page and allowing it to run only if the page identifier is true.

Is that correct?

Thanks again,

Chris

Hi,

Yep this would work on all Event List Widgets.

This coding worked to target a specific one:

https://gist.github.com/jesseeproductions/a99528506ec2f42c8e3f

You would want to change this: tribe-events-adv-list-widget-2

To the number of the widget you would like to target.

That can be found in the source code on the front end. I can help with that if you provide a link.

Thanks
