List event meta data

Is there a function similar to wp_get_recent_posts() for events? I would like to make a template in which I get unexpired events in a category and then loop through the events and display a list of the meta data from each event.

I tried:

query_posts(array(‘post_type’=>’espresso_event’));

in a template, but I’m not getting any posts. Shouldn’t this work?

Hi there,

If you look in the Event Espresso plugin folder there is a folder named “post-type-samples”. There’s a sample template with code that runs a query for the espresso_event post type that you could use/adapt.

Thanks. I’ll check it out.

I tried the template as is, but no events showed up. Do the events need to be saved as posts to show up with the page-event_list.php template?

They need to be saved as Event posts, yes. Here is a link to the documentation that outlines how to set up Event post types:
