Showing Events 3 Months at a time

[Jessica Stafford]

Hi I would like to display events on a page I designate to show Events 3 months at a time. Like illustrated below.

Jan/Feb/March, Feb/March/April, March/April/May, etc.

I would like the ability to choose past events as well as up coming ones. Can you help?

Please CC my developer at [email protected]

Thank you!

Hi Jessica. Thanks for your question.

FYI: We cannot CC anyone. Forum replies automatically get sent to the email account set at your My Account page.

We do not have a built-in view for 3 months at a glance.

Soon, we’ll be releasing an update that adds the ability to display our views as shortcodes. I imagine you’d be able to create a WordPress Page with shortcode month 1, shortcode month 2, shortcode month 3 to accomplish what you’re requesting.

You could also add this as a new feature (or maybe search to see if the idea was already posted by someone else) at our plugins’ UserVoice page.

This allows others who are interested in that feature to easily voice their support. We frequently review suggestions there to find out which ones are popular, then we implement as many of them as we can.

If you post it / find it, feel free to link to it from here in case anyone comes across this forum thread in the future.

This is Wayne, the developer.

Are you saying that there aren’t any type of filtering queries I could write? Wouldn’t this approach work? https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/can-you-have-multiple-calendars/

The thing I couldn’t find on that page was the shortcode that display’s these categories, that you all have as examples. How do I do that? Is that generated dynamically?

I am now thinking that I could write a WP_Query to query those taxonomies (events/category) and then I create my own shortcode from the query function. Am I thinking in the right direction? If so, do you have a code recipe I could write?

I could also, probably do a print_r to display the array objects???

Thank you!

Hi Wayne.

I thought you guys were asking for a 3-wide month view of the calendar, like this.

Yes, you could create any of your own shortcodes/views. Please reference these helpful KB articles:

• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-tribe_get_events/

Please let me know if you need anything else on this topic.

Hey Cliff, this just may be what I am looking for. I will let you know if all is good after I test in the AM. Thank you!

[Cliff]

Sounds good. Just let me know once you get a chance to play around.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
