Help with WP_Query: How do I display a simple list of events?

[blogjunkie]

By default TEC splits events into Upcoming and Past events. For the site that I’m currently building, I’m overriding the default template with ~/mytheme/events/list.php. I’ve got it styled the way I want but I can’t figure out how to show a simple list of events (without splitting into Upcoming and Past) that respects pagination.

This would be simple to do if I had created my own Custom Post Type for Events, but I wanted to take advantage of all the features provided in TEC. Here’s a visual representation of what I want to achieve:

Events
====
Event starting May 10
Event starting May 9
Event starting May 8
Event starting May 7
Event starting May 6
← Previous Events

Events (Page 2)
====
Event starting May 5
Event starting May 4
Event starting May 3
Event starting May 2
Event starting May 1
← Previous Events | Next Events →

Hey blogjunkie,

You can use this sample code to get you started: https://gist.github.com/jo-snips/5112025

You’ll need to build in pagination and customize other things yourself though.

I hope that helps!
