[Plugin: Events Calendar] Use calendar outside WP template?

  • I have a site which is not a pure WP-driven site; I’m using WP more as a CMS. I’ve installed Events Calendar and am trying to figure out how to place a small or large calendar on a regular php page.

    The home page for this plugin mentions using sidebarEventsCalendar() but I can’t even see where that function is. Can anyone get me started down the right path?

    I have successfully done this with regular WP posts by using

    require('wp/wp-blog-header.php');
$posts = get_posts();
foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp();

    Hopefully there is a similar way to get a calendar. I can always make one by querying the calendar DB directly but I’m hoping to actually grab the calendar widget.

    Arrgh. The developer has not posted anywhere in nearly half a year… I’m thinking that I put time into an abandoned plug-in.

    I want to do the exact same thing Anton.
    I’ve little expertise in php but the function appears to be in the file
    events-calendar/events-calendar.php towards the bottom.

    Tried it out with the following in my external page

    <section class="diary"><h1>Diary</h1><?php sidebarEventsList($one);?></section>

    and the html returned to the browser <section class=”diary”><h1>Diary</h1>

      <li id=”no-events-in-list”>Events are coming soon, stay tuned!

    </section>

    However, removing the variable thus:
    <section class="diary"><h1>Diary</h1><?php sidebarEventsList();?></section>

    returns the following HTML inside my diary section:

    <ul id="events-calendar-list"><li id="events-calendar-list-2"><a href="https://127.0.1.1:8080/wordpress/?p=66"><strong>Fri 16/3/2012</strong>: Youth Club</a></li>
</ul>

    Which is the only event I’ve put in the calendar. This is followed by some JavaScript, which appears to be jQuery related
    , which presumably makes the event clickable, which it is.

    Hope this helps.

    oops. Sorry, wrong function. Oh well.
