Hi,
Sounds like you need something like:
[events_list limit=1]
#_EVENTNAME (date info)
[/events_list]
Depending on how you want to display it, there are a few placeholder options for the date:

@caimin_nwl: Hi, thanks for the answer, looks pretty good 😀 Here I was thinking I couldn’t use that option with a limit=1 attribute, so nice to see you can. Is there a way of filtering the returned value to be the next event, i.e. the next available event temporally?
Also, could I filter the output to only include events with a certain tag?
That should always return the next event, as it shows upcoming events in chronological order.
Cheers
@philipjohn: Excellent! Have to admit, haven’t had the time yet to try it out but that is great news 🙂
Now, the last piece of the puzzle, can I filter by tag?
Yes, like this:
[events_list limit=1 tag="tag1,tag2"]
#_EVENTNAME (date info)
[/events_list]
@phillipjohn and @caimin_nwl, if I am understanding this thread correctly, the default setting to display/list events “should” start with the next upcoming event? And not the latest scheduled event?
The reason I am asking, is a page I created, I have been trying to figure out a way to just show the next event (using the default settings).
See here: http://ssg.auwride.com/dev/events/
It is displaying the July first, when I think it should be showing the next upcoming event in June.
Anyways, any advice you can provide on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
