Shortcode to showup only on events page

[Erin Slater]

I am using a slider and would like it to only show on the main /events page. Using the before html feature doesnt work for me, because it add the slider to all events. I tried switching the template to the events page template and add my shortcode there but it still shows up all events. Can you tell me which php file contains only the main events page so I can include my code there?

Sure I can help you out.

The main view is in this file:

\the-events-calendar\views\default-template.php

Follow our themer’s guide to move it to your theme and edit it there:

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/events-calendar-themers-guide/

Then use the conditionals from this page to only target the views you want the slider to appear.

You may also need to use WordPress’s do_shortcode function for your shortcode to work.

Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks

Since I am only using 3 views I took the default template code and added this after the div id tribe=”events-pg-template”

<?php if(tribe_is_map() || tribe_is_photo() || tribe_is_month() ):?>
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[fusionslider id=”” class=”” name=”event-slider”][/fusionslider]’); ?>
<?php endif;?>

In case anyone else needs to know.
