How to call the events list using php

[james]

I am having trouble finding out how to call the events list widget using php. Any help would be great. Thanks!

The basic premise of this is to use WP’s template tag to display an arbitrary widget.
Here’s the syntax for the php:
the_widget($widget, $instance, $args);

The Events List widget is called TribeEventsListWidget, so you would do something basically like this:
the_widget(‘TribeEventsListWidget’);
You can throw some $args in there to adjust the display of your widget if you’re trying to add it to a template or by some other means, but this will basically get you what you need.

Thanks, before you responded, i couldn’t find the widget name anywhere, so I just registered a new widget area and inserted it into the php code that way. Thanks for the response!

No problem. I know the people that work these forums are swamped right now, and this is something I have worked on that I know worked for me.
For future reference, I have found http://docs.tri.be/ to be a tremendous asset for the free version and the pro version of the Events Calendar Plugin…. especially when I can’t get a response as quick as I’d like.
