I am new to WordPress and need a simple event list. This looks terrific but I am not able to get it working properly. Probably because I don't understand the instructions.
Do you have a more detailed set of instruction you could offer me. I'd really appreciate it.
I have set-up an events category
I created a new post
I added a custom field – in the "name" field I put the event "Ground Hogs Day" – in the "value" field I put the date "2009-02-02"
I put "[events_list]" in the body of the post. But when I view it, I don't see the event day only "eventlist (February 2, 2009)"
eventlist is a link
What am I doing wrong?
Do you know what I

The name of the custom field should be 'event_date' (without the quotes). It will pull the name of the event from the title of the post.

Yes. I did end up trying.
I created a page called "EVENTS". The only thing on this page was "[events_list]"
In the custom field: Name "event_date" Date "YYYY-MM-DD"
I created a post: Title: "Groundhogs Day" content "looking for shadow"
Custom field: Name "Monday" Date "2009-02-02"
When I went to my "EVENTS" page, all I say was "looking for shadow"
Thanks for your advice, Elizabeth

Sorry if the instructions are not clear. To clarify:
- You don't add a custom field to the page that contains [events_list].
- You do add a custom field to the page which describes your event. The custom field should have the name="event_date" and the value="YYYY-MM-DD" where YYYY-MM-DD is the date of your event.
I've added a screenshot to the post so you can see what I mean.

Hi, still not working for me.
I created a page called “EVENTS”. The only thing on this page is “[events_list]”
Nothing in the custom field.
I created a post: Title: “Groundhogs Day” content “looking for shadow”
Custom field: Name: "event_date" Date: "2009-02-02"
since this is a post I chose the "EVENTS" category, even though it will be on a page
When I go to my “EVENTS” page, all I see are the words "[events_list]" no link or anything.
What am I doing wrong? Elizabeth

I like your plugin and it works just fine, however if I wanted to add the event list in the sidebar, can I simply call the php function? I tried adding [events_list] but that didn't work. What are the parameters that I need to pass? Thanks.

Hi, thanks for this plugin :-) Just a question: how to put the date in another format (French in my case). For example, it would be: "05-12-09" for December 5th of 2009.
Hope you can help!

@ Chuck Dirkse: I wonder if using emw_events_list(); would work as a function. I'll give it a shot and let you know.
@Elizabeth Bonney: When you created the Events page, did you use the Visual Text Editor or the HTML editor to create the page? Sometimes, but not always, it makes a difference. Try going into your Page Edit section and add the code using the HTML editor. Hopefully, it will work.

Thanks for the plugin.
It works perfect.
It would be nice to have a widget to be inserted on the sidebar.

Does anything happen when the date of the event has come and gone or is it still listed as normal? I'm looking for an upcoming event list.

hi there, thanks for the plugin, works fine for me. Just 2 questions:
1- is it possible to give an event more than 1 date? There are many events that last more than just 1 day and I'd like it to be shown on the events list all these days.
2- how do i localize the date setting in the event list?

Thanks for the simple event list!
I would like to sort the list, earlier dates first. Is that possible?
Thanks,
Dave

Me again,
For of you guys interested in this, I have found a solutions to display the event list in a text widget placed in the sidebar.
You must add a line of code in theme's functions.php file.
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
And then you can load a text widget with the shortcode provided by the plugin author: [events_list]
For more info see this link.
