Should I make a custom widget for this?
-
Hello
i am trying to integrate the events manager to display a 5 day schedule on a specific part of the front page of the site i’m working on. I am working on a child theme of a commercial template that is bootstrapped.
the code i have here for the page template works (see attached code), but it is not flexible at all. i’d like to take the 5 day part anywhere someone would like to put it on the front page, mainly for flexibility for various content.
i’m thinking that this might work as a widget, but i’m not really sure how to set that up exactly….any ideas? or would there be an easier way to do this? one idea i was thinking about was installing a php shortcode snippet plugin and then using that and just using a shortcode to put anywhere on the site…that didn’t work ??
if i make this a widget, what is the setup/structure in a child theme directory using the events manager plugin? and how do you set that up in the functions.php file?
thank you for any help!
