Putting day view in widget

[Steven Kaufman]

Is there a simple way to get the list from /events/today/ and show in a widget? It seems like reinventing the wheel to have to write a new query. There must be documentation somewhere about this, but I can’t find it.

Hi Nabha,

Thanks for getting in touch. We don’t have a tutorial on this exact subject, although I’d like to have one for the future. I don’t know how simple this is, but there is a thread going on this topic that I think will help get you pointed in the write direction:
https://tri.be/support/forums/topic/show-only-todays-events-2/

I recommend that you follow the steps outlined there, and post back here if you run into trouble. We’ll do our best to help out.

Cheers,
Leah

I’d rather not use WP_Query, as the link above suggests. I came up with another solution that uses the tribe_get_events function and simply breaks the loop once it advances past the target date (today):

Thanks for posting that Nabha! I’m glad you found something that’ll work for you.

Hi Nabha,

Your solution works wonderfully well. I never managed to get the suggestions from https://tri.be/support/forums/topic/show-only-todays-events-2/ to work.

However, it looks like with your code, you can no longer use this code (http://pastebin.com/N2YrKMJE) to show the thumbnail for each event. When I insert it into your code, it gives me the same image for all the events. Any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks!

Hey, thanks Nabha! Any follow-up thoughts you might have that could point ali7e in the right direction sure would be appreciated 🙂
