Hi,
question from a non-programmer:
How do I use this shortcode in a template?
[EVENT_CUSTOM_VIEW template_name=”events-table” limit=”4″].

Hi devjenifer,

Wrap that shortcode within the do_shortcode() function so within the Template it would become something like this:

do_shortcode('[EVENT_CUSTOM_VIEW template_name="events-table" limit="4"]');

Hope that helps.

Thanks Tony, I tried your suggestion, but I do not get a list of the latest four events.

The shortcode worked on a static page, but I want to place the latest four events in a template. Could I use something like:
<?php echo $event_id…correct syntax to show 4 ?>

Hi,

If you are wanting to add the shortcode to a template then Tony’s code is correct. You do need to echo it out though liek so 

<?php echo do_shortcode('[EVENT_CUSTOM_VIEW template_name="events-table" limit="4"]'); ?>

This can be added to theme templates such as single.php.

Sorry Jenifer,

Didn’t think to mention to echo!

Anyway, glad Dean spotted it and got you working :)
