Event Calendar Pro – how to get calendar widget in the footer?

[Ross]

How do I get the small event calendar widget in my footer? I want the small calendar widget to disply in my footer. What should I add to my footer.php file ??

If your theme has a sidebar area in the footer then you could drag and drop it in there on the Appearance > Widgets admin page … I’m guessing that’s not the case with your theme though or else you wouldn’t be asking this question (!) and so what you probably need to do is create a new dynamic sidebar.

It’s a bit out of the scope of support here to talk you through that but there’s a ton of useful information over on the WordPress Codex about this topic.

I used this code:

and it disply the calendar but it doesn’t disply the top correctly. It doesn’t have the arrows for previous month and future month. It just says “Aug 2012 Sept 2012 October 2012”.
I think i’m missing div class or other fuctions or ajax fuction to disply it correctly. What is the fuction? Is there java too?

[Ross]

the php code I used:
the_widget(‘TribeEventsCalendarWidget’,’title=Events’);

What “<DIV…." d I put around the php code so it displys correctly?

Hi Ross – I had finished work for the day when you posted your replies, but don’t worry, we do try to check in at least daily to see if anyone has followed up.

At the moment inserting the widget “manually” using the_widget() will not work – it needs to be part of a regular dynamic sidebar otherwise it won’t be able to enqueue the various pieces of Javascript it requires to work. So, for the time being, your best bet is to create a new dynamic sidebar in your theme.

I did talk to one of the devs about this and he is going to change the way it works to accommodate inserting it using the_widget() but realistically that fix could be a couple of releases down the road.

I hope that explains the situation a little better – and please do check out the WordPress Codex and the .org support forums – both great places for advice on adding new sidebars to your theme.
