embed minical with php

[David]

I’d like to embed minical into the theme with php, I need the same options as on the widget, so I can say how many events to display beneath the calendar.

Is this possible?

[David]

this doesn’t work…

<?php
   if(function_exists('the_widget')) { // If the_widget is supported
		the_widget( 'tribe_mini_calendar' );
  }
?>

Hey @David,

While we cannot offer help with code customizing and such, I think a helpful bit of advice here would be to use the do_shortcode() function in WordPress instead.

You can learn more about that function here → https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/

This would let you use all shortcode arguments/options as normal, and so you could use something like this instead of what you posted:


if ( function_exists( 'do_shortcode' ) ) {
echo do_shortcode( '[tribe_mini_calendar category="party"]' );
}


You’ll have to take the reins from here on further tweaking and developing, but I hope this helps! And be sure to check out this guide to our widget shortcodes if you have questions about those → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-widget-shortcodes/

Thanks (is this customisation?).

It’s not the do_shortcode() that fixed it, it’s adding the category which I’ve set to All.

Thanks again.
