Trying to tie slide-show into events

[Adam Ruback]

We want to add a slide-show on our main page that is tied to the Events. Ideally this slide-show will pull in variables/calls from the Custom Fields including ticket links, but at the least we need it to call in the post name and featured image. Is there a plugin that’s been written to take advantage of Events rather than Posts- or can you steer us toward what kind of changes we might make to call Events instead of Posts?

Hi Adam,

I would suggest taking a look at our documentation on custom queries here: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/the-events-calendar-template-tags-general-functions/#functiontribe_get_events – you can use tribe_get_events() in that way or you can also roll your own using WP_Query and querying the post type of ‘tribe_events’ like so: https://gist.github.com/4025547

I hope that helps!
