Fast Forward Tutorial – sync mini calendar with month of single event page

[tornadoo]

I tried to set the mini calendar to the same month of the currently shown event in the single event page.

I tried this in functions.php:
$startdate= tribe_get_start_date(null,false,’Y-m’);
new Tribe_Advance_Minical($startdate);

But that does not work.

BTW: new Tribe_Advance_Minical(‘2014-12’); works at that place.

Hi!

It’s difficult to say, but my guess would be that the global post object is not pointing to an event when this bit of code runs. If you echo out or otherwise inspect the value of $startdate what do you see?

Hey Barry,
thanks for your answer.
No, the global post object is getting that info.
$startdate echoes 2014-11 for example.

Any other idea?

[tornadoo]

Maybe you are right… I am doing the echo inside a add_filter function…
maybe tribe_get_start_date(null,false,’Y-m’) is not available outside…
Any other idea? Maybe an alternative way to get the date of the current event on single event page?

[tornadoo]

Ok. I put it into the single-event.php, calling new Tribe_Advance_Minical($startdate);
That works….
Many thanks for pushing in right direction!
