Get Advanced Widget Variables in Theme Template

[UNC Web Services]

Hey All,

I am getting started with events calendar, so I’m sorry if this is a lame question. I am making a custom widget and I need to get all the variables that are mentioned in the top of the events-advanced-list-load-widget-display.php file. From the file:

=============

* When the template is loaded, the following vars are set: $start, $end, $venue, $address, $city, $state, $province’], $zip, $country, $phone, $cost
* @return string
*/

// Vars set:
// ‘$event->AllDay’,
// ‘$event->StartDate’,
// ‘$event->EndDate’,
// ‘$event->ShowMapLink’,
// ‘$event->ShowMap’,
// ‘$event->Cost’,
// ‘$event->Phone’,

========

How can I call these variables in another page template so I can use this on other pages?

Well, I think I’m half way there. It occurred to me I could use a standard query like this and then define the variables myself.
‘tribe_events’);
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post); ?>

The var_dump shows I have everything… all categories for now, but I could narrow that down I guess. 🙂 Just need to get assign the variables now.

Unless there is an easier way… 🙂

Hi Jeff,

You do need to first run a query to return the records you are looking for and then you can access all the information for those records. get_posts() will do it but WP_Query is generally a better way: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

So, you’re pretty much doing it the way you should but you may want to use WP_Query instead.

I hope that helps,
Jonah
