Only "Today" Events Shortcode

[alexebo]

Hey there

My goal is a shortcode which shows ONLY todays events.

The Shortcode where i should be able to see only todays events, shows ALL coming events.

[tribe_events view=”day” date=”2018-07-17″ ]
[tribe_events view=”list” date=”2018-07-17″]

As i wanted it dynamically, i did a shortcode via functions.php.

[tribe_events view=”day” date=”‘ . current_time( ‘Y-m-d’ ) . ‘” ]
[tribe_events view=”list” date=”‘ . current_time( ‘Y-m-d’ ) . ‘”]

Am i missing something? Maybe a shortcode parameter which hides the following events which are NOT today?

Best,
Alex

Hi there Alex

Unfortunately, this is not something we currently have a way to achieve dynamically. If you think that is something you would like as a feature I encourage you to visit our User Voice Page and either upvote an existing request or make a new request there.

You can vote for it at https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/11233989-today-s-events-widget.

You can see others that have hidden the extra information in the this thread: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/widget-to-display-only-events-with-todays-date/.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Basically i am just asking for a shortcode which prints out ONLY the todays events.

I will do the dynamic stuff myself 🙂

Hi Alex

[tribe_events view=”day” date=”2018-07-17″] is the closes we’ve got for you. So sorry about that. I would like to see this expanded too.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Ah okay – so there is basically no shortcode for showing ONLY todays events – am i right?

Hi, Courtney

All these shortcodes do not show “only” todays events.
They show upcoming events aswell.

I am searching for a snippet/shortcode which shows only the events from today, not the events from tomorrow and so on.

Best,
Alex

Hey Alex. Can you show me a screenshot of the editor and the published location of your shortcode for “today”? When I test this, I only see today’s events, not future events.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Btw – the edit function does not work. I tried to edit my last post to mark it private.

Hey Alex

When you go to Events » Settings » Display » Enable event views, do you have Day View enabled?

If that doesn’t resolve showing in day view vs list, please send me a screenshot of the editor of this post.

[tribe_events] is designed to be used only once per page/post, as described near the end of https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/embedding-calendar-views-tribe_events-shortcode/.

If you would like to override that (which we don’t recommend), this snippet should do the trick. Add this snippet to either your child theme’s functions.php file or use the My Custom Functions plugin. 

function reregister_tribe_events_shortcode( $atts ) {
	$shortcode = new Tribe__Events__Pro__Shortcodes__Tribe_Events( $atts );
	return $shortcode->output();
}

add_action( 'init', 'reregister_tribe_events_shortcode', 100 );

Please let me know if enabling day view resolves part of this.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂
