Shortcodes: Most recent event + archive page

[Gaspar Baksa]

Hello,

I want to have only the most recent event showing up on the front page
Also, I would want to have an archive page, with all the past events showing up in backward chronologic order (earliest-top, latest-bottom)
How is it possible to achieve these using shortcode?

Thanks and Bests,
Gaspar

Hey there Gaspar,

I’m happy to help out and answer your questions here! 🙂

1. Shortcode for displaying one event: [tribe_events_list limit=”1″]
2. Your archive page actually already exists at http://www.yourdomain.com/events/past

Let me know if you need any additional help implementing any of this. 🙂

Best,

Shelby 🙂

Hello Shelby,

Thank you for the reply, it works now.
I don’t find the template file where to style and modify the one event: [tribe_events_list limit=”1″], can you please tell me where I can find it?

Bests,
Gaspar

Hey Gaspar,

You shouldn’t need to modify anything in order for it to show the next upcoming event, unless I’m misunderstanding how you are trying to use the shortcode?

You can read more about how you can use the shortcodes and modify them here by the way.

Let me know how this goes! 🙂

Best,

Shelby 🙂

Hi Shelby,

Sure, it works in the default way, but I would like to change the appearance (styling, order of showing elements) via some .php template file, like the ones in the plugin/them folder src/views/list or tribe-events/list, and I can’t find the place where to edit this.

Thanks and Bests,
Gaspar

Hey Gaspar,

Unfortunately, we don’t have any resources for customizing the shortcodes like that, so I’ll have to check in with the devs on this one. However, I think that this knowledgebase article may help you accomplish a similar effect. 🙂

Let me know how that goes!

Best,

Shelby 🙂

Hi Shelby,

Thank you for the pointer, but I couldn’t dive through it successfully 🙁
I tried to adjust the templates with some conditional if is_front_page() logic, but it also didn’t work. Tried to make the month.php view template cheating in the view of a list, but it also didn’t work out.
So, I resorted to simple hiding the unneeded elements via CSS. It is clumsy, but works.

Bests,
Gaspar
