Event List inside Pages

[Jens Kirk]

Hi!

I got lost in the documentation, so I have a quick question here instead.

I want to integrate event list in my pages. I don’t want to use a widget area, as I need it to integrate into every page differently.

Example: I have a page called “Advanced Math”. On this page, I want to output a event list with events from event category “Advanced Math courses”. I want to control the output as well or better than the “Event List” widget. For example, I want to add a hook for the ticket, timeslots, number of signed up participants, price etc.

How do I solve this issue of creating an event list output into a page?
I know that I can use the shortcodes plugin, but it does not seem to give me the same level of customization control.

Howdy Jens,

Welcome to our support forums and thanks for reaching out to us! I’ll help you here…

I think the way to go is to use the Advanced list widget via shortcode. It’s still as customizable as using it in the widgets area. Take a look at this two articles: Configuring the List Widget and Add event content to an event widget.

The code to place inside the sample page you pointed out would be (assuming the event category slug is advanced-math-courses):


[tribe_events_list category="advanced-math-courses"]


Please let me know if this helps,
Best,
Nico

Hello, thanks for answering so quickly.

I am using shortcodes so far. My question is, if I want to customize the output, like in this guide:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/#custom-files

where do I insert the code? : <p>Organized by: <?php echo tribe_get_organizer(); ?></p>

As far as I can see, the output is in the shortcode plugin.

Cheers,

Sorry, I see that the code works ok if inserteed into the the-events-calendar-shortcode.php, so I figure that this is where it goes.

I assume I can insert price, organizer pictures, attendees names and so on here.

Cheers

Hi Nico..

So, I am playing with it and get some results and some fails. I am displaying a eventlist by way of shortcode on individual course pages. Could you help me with following questions:

1. How do I output “Buy Now” button from Ticket Pro, relevant for the individual events. Directions to documentation would be great, example would be better.

2. The Events Calendar Shortcode only goes so far. For example, it cannot output event custom fields. I need more powerful tools available. Can I solve outputting custom fields from events in the shortcode or by any other means? Are there tools available to get it out of the db?.

It is important for us, in order to commit to Events Calendar, to feel the flexibility and power available.

Thanks for an awesome plugin 🙂

cheers,

[Nico]

Hey Jens,

Sorry for the delay in my reply! From your prevous reply I assume you are doing a template override of the list widget files, right?

1. How do I output “Buy Now” button from Ticket Pro, relevant for the individual events. Directions to documentation would be great, example would be better.

Add the folloing line to display the link to the tickets form:

#buy-tickets" >Buy tickets


2. The Events Calendar Shortcode only goes so far. For example, it cannot output event custom fields. I need more powerful tools available. Can I solve outputting custom fields from events in the shortcode or by any other means? Are there tools available to get it out of the db?.

Sure it’s possible, take a look at this previous answer: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/how-do-you-display-the-additional-fields-in-the-list-view/#dl_post-997359

Please let me know if you can work both issues out,
Best,
Nico
