    Hi
    Currently use the Events Manager (EM) to display events on my homepage using the theme’s home.php using the following code:

    <?php
#Template Name: Home Page Template
get_header();
?>
    <!-- EVENTS - START -->
    <div class="events col12">
        <?php
        #DISPLAY EVENTS
        if(class_exists('EM_Events'))
        {
            echo EM_Events::output(array('scope' => 'all', 'limit' => 10, 'orderby' => 'event_start_date', 'order' => 'DESC', 'pagination' => 1));
        }
        ?>
    </div>
    <!-- EVENTS - END -->
</div>
<!-- PAGE WRAPPER - END -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Would like to change over to the 4.1.2 version of The Events Calendar (TEC) for event management and display on homepage and need to amend the above code. Have tried various coding but have been unsuccessful for TEC functionality.
    Could anyone assist with the translation code? Regards and thanks in advance for your assistance.

  • Hey,

    Thanks for reaching out to us!

    To do a custom query like that using The Events Calendar, you can use the “tribe_get_events” function.

    Thanks!

    Hi Josh
    Thanks so much for your help, well done.
    I have almost achieved the events displayed on the homepage using the ‘tribe_get_events’ function.
    The following code shows the events only as the home page is being loaded. Once the page has finished being loaded the events disappear from the page.

    #DISPLAY EVENTS
        // Retrieve the next 5 upcoming events
$events = tribe_get_events( array('posts_per_page' => 5, 'start_date' => '2015-01-01',) );

// Loop through the events, displaying the title
// and content for each
foreach ( $events as $event ) {
    echo "<h4> $event->post_title </h4>";
    echo $event->post_content;
}

    Any suggestions, and thanks for your help. Regards.

    Hey Anthony,

    Just to set expectations, as you might know, the scope of our support is mostly to get our users started on the right track and to help them in case of issues. We unfortunately do not provide complete support for customization.

    With that in mind, you will be happy to know that we are working on providing that feature (being able to display the calendar on the home page).

    Unfortunately, I cannot commit to a release date at this point.?But stay tuned!

    In the meantime, some of our users have decided to simply to a page redirect on their home page as a mitigating measure.

    I wish I had a better answer for you, but for now it’s the best one I have.

    Best regards,

    Geoff B.
