Use the_widget for Event Tribe Widgets with arguments

[Denise Crosbie]

I am reading post: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/upcoming-events-in-page-template/#post-30779

I see I can call the_widget function for the following Tribe widgets:
TribeEventsListWidget()
TribeEventsAdvancedListWidget()
TribeEventsCalendarWidget()
TribeEventsFeatureWidget()

But this topic doesn’t help me discover the arguments that I can use. For example when I use the Advanced List widget I can select an event category. but, I don’t know what argument to pass in to the_widget function to pass in the event category?

Digging through the code I see that I can use “category”, I use it like this:
the_widget(‘TribeEventsAdvancedListWidget’,’category=11′);
Which works.

Is there a doc that specifies these settings for future reference?

Keys you might pass in as part of the instance array could include:

• title
• limit
• no_upcoming_events
• start
• end
• venue
• country
• address
• city
• region
• zip
• phone
• cost
• category

You don’t need to pass in all of them of course, just those where you need to change the value to something non-default.

Are those valid just for TribeEventsAdvancedListWidget or for TribeEventsCalendarWidget as well? I am also looking to filter TribeEventsCalendarWidget by category.

[Barry]

TribeEventsCalendarWidget is slightly different and I believe the only argument passed in is title … so to restrict it to a specific category you might instead override table-mini.php and make some changes to the tribe_get_events() call in that template.

Some good resources:

• Technical Documentation
• Template Overrides Tutorial

Hope that helps 🙂

Thanks for the list on TribeEventsAdvancedListWidget I am using the category filter and it works great. For the TribeEventsCalendarWidget I could custom code, but I’m tight for time so I just have the Advanced List Widget link over to the filtered calendar by category. Good enough.

Great – the main thing is you’ve got a solution in place 🙂

Do let us know if there you need any other support on this one though, otherwise I will close the thread a few days from now.
