Display list of single day events in a slider

[Matt]

I would like to include a vertical slider on my homepage, with each slide displaying all the events for a specific date. I am using the Verticalis slider (http://slidervilla.com/verticalis/), which allows me to display a single page OR post in each slide, but I can’t figure out how to create a WP page that displays all the events for a specific date.

For example, at the bottom of the homepage at http://www.portlandcocktailweek.com/ there is a list of events happening on each date of Cocktail Week. Instead of displaying all the days in a long list, I would like the slider to show all events on the first day in the first slide, the events on day 2 in the second slide, day 3 in the third slide, and so on.

I think the easiest way to achieve this would be to create a page that shows all events on a specific day, and then I could add that page as a single slider. I installed the “Posts in Page” plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/posts-in-page/), but can’t figure out how to create a shortcode query that finds/displays all events on a specific date.

Has anyone else done something similar or have any other suggestions for how I might make this work?

HUGE thanks in advance!!!

I’m afraid this sort of customization is beyond any support we can officially offer, but we can definitely leave this open to gather input from other members of the community 🙂

Is there not an easy way to just print the single day view into a page or post?

You’ll probably find examples of different approaches to this or similar problems scattered throughout the forum, but there aren’t any shortcodes built-in or anything like that.

If you’re comfortable with WordPress development generally you might want to investigate using tribe_get_events() (which is effectively a wrapper around WP_Query) and build up from there.
