I am trying to cobble together a “next event” widget which will display pretty much exactly what you see when you are viewing a single event. I have managed to duplicate the event list widget, and give my new one a different name, and get it to appear in my widgets, and it works.
\nNow- I am trying to figure out how to get it to display the details of the event, which is in the event field “post_content” (I looked in phpmyadmin at the database to see what the proper field is).<\/p>\n
In the list-widget.php file (which is what you override to customize the list widget) there are functions called like tribe_get_phone(),tribe_get_organizer(), tribe_events_event_schedule_details(), and I have found those funcs in the-events-calendar\/public\/template-tags\/general.php. But I don’t see anything that read the event content.<\/p>\n
What I have done so far is this:
\n– I created plugins\/events-calendar-pro\/lib\/widget-show-next-event.class.php (a copy of widget-advanced-list.class.php)
\n– I created plugins\/events-calendar-pro\/admin-views\/widget-admin-next-event.php (a copy of widget-admin-advanced-list.php)
\n– In the main events-calendar-pro.php file, I pull in my new class, and register the widget:
\npublic function pro_widgets_init() {
\n…
\nrequire_once( ‘lib\/widget-show-next-event.class.php’ ); \/\/my new class
\nregister_widget( ‘TribeNextEventWidget’ ); \/\/my new widget
\n}
\n– I created {my theme}\/tribe-events\/widgets\/next-event-widget.php (a copy of list-widget.php)
\n– I attempted to cause my widget-show-next-event.class.php file to use my new next-event-widget.php by referring to “next-event-widget”, to no avail:
\nfunction widget( $args, $instance ) {
\n\/\/ Use parent’s output function with the premium template.
\nself::$params = $instance;
\nreturn parent::widget_output( $args, $instance, ‘next-event-widget’, ‘widgets’, ‘pro’, TribeEventsPro::instance()->pluginPath );
\n}<\/p>\n
So, 2 issues:
\n1. How can I get my custom template file (next-event-widget.php) to be used? I assume that putting it in my theme folder is the right thing to do, as you describe in your help doc on theming.
\n2. How do I display the event details, and pretty much all the other fields. It can be hard-coded- it doesn’t need to be customizable like the event list widget<\/p>\n
Clearly, I’m off in the weeds here, and this is brute force, but I gotta get it going. Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-71201","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
