upcoming events shotcode

[Brian]

Hello,

I find the widget called events list.
I’d like to haved it in my home page. That’s why I need a shortcode that would display the next 2 or 3 upcoming events, on my home page.

Could you please tell me how to do?
Thanks

Hello @Therese, welcome to the forums. 🙂

There are shortcodes available for all of the PRO widgets, including the Event List, which displays upcoming events by entering [tribe_events_list] into your page or post.

Please check out this article for even more information on how the shortcodes work and what options are available for them.

Does this help? Please let me know!

Yes Geoff, it helps a lot.

However, the formating is very strange…
A lot of white spaces.
I’d like to show you 3 screenshots that I took.
How can I do ?

I think the blank was due to the fact that the maps was empty.
I added some extra informations in the shortcode and now it’s better (address=”no”, phone=”no”,…).

I still have a question though:
I’d like to add a small excerpt of the event dsecription.
Is it possible ?

I think I have to add a new file called list-widget.php in my theme’s directory, in tribe-events/pro/widgets, is it correct?
But I don’t know what to add…

Maybe I should create a new file based on single-event.php?
And call this file instead?

Could you please help me?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Therese,

I’m so glad my last reply did the trick!

I think the blank was due to the fact that the maps was empty.

Yeah, spacing is often the result of the widget CSS interacting with the theme’s CSS. Sometimes those clash and need to be tailored a bit to tighten things up.

I think I have to add a new file called list-widget.php in my theme’s directory, in tribe-events/pro/widgets, is it correct?

That’s correct! You do need a template override to make that happen.

This is the template you want to copy from the plugin:
events-pro/src/views/pro/widgets/modules/single-event.php

Then add that to your theme directory in:
tribe-events/pro/widgets/modules/

From there, you can place the_excerpt() where you would like it to display in the widget.

Cheers!
Geoff
