Hi there, I’m trying to get one of my pages to display a super simple text list of upcoming events and came across this forum post, which looks perfect: https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/6e33532c37a123bbf532
However, just not sure how I can get this to show on one page only. I want to keep all my existing pages and templates, etc. But on one of the pages I want to show this list.
What method is the best to get this done?
Thanks for any help.

Hi there,
You can use the code from the example gist and put it into a custom page template. Then when you set up the page in the WordPress editor, you select that page template.
This guide will walk you through the process:

Sorry, one more thing, I tried to get the event date to go along with the event name, but can’t seem to figure out which hook or tag to use.
I tried these, but it just showed numbers:
$event->primary_datetime()
$event->first_datetime()
How can I get the date to show as well?
Thank you.

$event->primary_datetime()
Returns and EE_Datetime object so you need to use one its methods to output the date.
$primary_datetime = $event->primary_datetime();
//Output the start date
$primary_datetime->e_start_date();

Thanks for the help, but I can’t for the life of me figure out where to put each of these (PHP is definitely not my strong suit). This is where I put them but definitely not right. Seems no matter where I put this I can’t get it to work: $primary_datetime = $event->primary_datetime();
This is what I have right now:
$where = array(
'Datetime.DTT_EVT_end' => array( '>=', current_time( 'mysql' )),
'status' => 'publish',
);
// run the query
if ( class_exists( 'EE_Registry' ) ) :
$events = EE_Registry::instance()->load_model( 'Event' )->get_all( array(
$where,
'limit' => 100,
'order_by' => 'Datetime.DTT_EVT_start',
'order' => 'ASC',
'group_by' => 'EVT_ID'
));
// the loop
if ( ! empty( $events )) {
$primary_datetime = $event->primary_datetime();
echo '<ul>';
foreach ( $events as $event ) {
if ( $event instanceof EE_Event ) {
echo '<li>';
echo '<a href="' . get_permalink( $event->ID() ) . '">' . $primary_datetime->e_start_date() . ' / ' . $event->name() . '</a>';
echo '</li>';
}
}
echo '</ul>';
}
endif;
Can you point out where I’m going wrong?
Thanks so much for the help thus far.

You don’t have an $event when you’re trying to use it, it needs to be within the foreach loop, and better yet within the instanceof EE_Event check and as your echoing out the link, you don’t need the e_ function as that just echos anyway.
Try this:
if ( ! empty( $events )) {
echo '<ul>';
foreach ( $events as $event ) {
if ( $event instanceof EE_Event ) {
$primary_datetime = $event->primary_datetime();
echo '<li>';
echo '<a href="' . get_permalink( $event->ID() ) . '">' . $primary_datetime->start_date() . ' / ' . $event->name() . '</a>';
echo '</li>';
}
}
echo '</ul>';
}
Note: I haven’t tested this.
