Get the list widget title

[Aaron Simms]

I’m customizing the list widget template, which I plan to use on some pages via the shortcode, and I want to be able to work with the widget title as defined in the shortcode (title=”XYZ”) but I cannot for the life of me determine which Tribe function gets the widget title. Currently the list widget shortcode with title=”XYZ” just outputs plain text (XYZ) above the widget. I’ve tried tribe_get_events_title() but that just outputs the stock “Upcoming Events” title, not XYZ. Is there another variable I need to pass to that function?

If this is something that should be done using the WordPress the_widget function then what widget class should I be targeting? Thanks.

Hi Aaron!

Thanks for reaching out to us! Let me try to help you with this topic.

The widget title is part of the the_widget() function > https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_widget so, to customize the widget title you would have to make use of the widget_title filter > https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/widget_title

I think you’ll want to target the Tribe__Events__List_Widget class located at /wp-content/the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/List-Widget.php

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Best,
Victor
