Embedding Calendar on a page

[mozakdesign]

Hi .. I want to embed the calendar (http://dsno.org/events/upcoming/) on the homepage. Is there some code / php cal I could use?

Thanks

Hi mozakdesign,

Our plugin does not use shortcodes, so it’s not possible to add the calendar to a homepage. However, if your homepage supports widgets, you may be able to display the Mini Calendar there, if that suits your purpose.

Does that answer your question?

But I need the list view as shown on the page. can you point me to the php file that causes the execution of the code creating the calendar page

http://dsno.org/events/upcoming/

Thanks

How about this:
What php code would I need to copy to
1) execute the Events List widget as a php call and
2) alter it to also display the excerpt?

Hello mozakdesign,

That sounds like a really cool idea, but what you are trying to do is outside of the way the plugin was designed. Complex customizations like this are beyond the scope of our support. However, we do provide a Themer’s Guide (https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/events-calendar-themers-guide/) and Documentation (http://docs.tri.be/) to help you make those changes yourself. If that is beyond your skill set, we may be able to provide a list of developers who could potentially help you.

Good luck with your project!

I’m almost there … what is the php code to access the excerpt? I’ve got everything else

[mozakdesign]

would this do it?

<?php echo tribe_events_get_the_excerpt() ?>

if I add that to the list-widget.php ….

Hello mozakdesign,

Looks to me like you’re on the right page there. And from the looks of your website, I’m thinking you got it working. Nicely done!

MozakDesign – Can you tell me what files changed to make the homepage display events? Step by step please?

[mozakdesign]

Sure thing.

1) I installed a plugin called Custom Sidebars and make the sidebar “EventsListHome”
2) I place the “Event List” widget in the new sidebar
3) I added to my homepage php code the following:
<?php dynamic_sidebar( ‘EventsListHome’ ); ?>
4) in the pro list-widget.php I added <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

…
<?php if ( $phone && tribe_get_phone() != ” ) { ?>
<span class=”tel”><?php echo tribe_get_phone(); ?></span>
<?php } ?>
<div class=”excerpt”>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>

</div>
