display newest event only shortcode

[lunenburg]

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to display the events calendar in a slider format (I am using the divi theme from Elegant Themes) where I would have slide 1 as the upcoming event, slide 2, as the next event coming, slide 3, the third event in the future… and so on…

Thanks!
Aleks

Hey there !

Thanks for reaching out — that’s a great question, I can help with that 🙂

[tribe_events_list limit="1"]

This shortcode will return your newest event. To use this code multiple times, you may have to target a different category or class so you are not showing the same event on each slide.

You can call an event specifically and more with this shortcode, check out all the options it can be given.

Take a look at our article Integrating The Events Calendar with Slider Revolution.

Hope that helps!

Hi!

Thanks for the info!

I guess I was wondering, rather than having to use categories for each post in the slider, to use something along the lines of event post=1+0, event post=1+1, and event post=1+2 to list each of the three upcoming events that are closest to current date. Is there any potential option for that?

The potential is definitely there, but would require a bit of custom code work. You can always post a Feature Request as well!

Without custom code, I think that this could be done by using the shortcode parameters creatively. Check out our KB article that shows some more advanced usage of shortcode → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-widget-shortcodes/

Take care,
Ed ✌️
