* Hi Barry thanks for responding to my personal email and as requested have brought
it to the forum.
* I have got this far:
* function sie_events(){
$thisDate = date(“Y-m-d”); $thisDate7 = date(“Y-m-d”,
strtotime(“+1 week”));
* $event_posts = event_embed()->obtain( [
‘from’ => $thisDate, ‘to’ => $thisDate7]);
echo($thisDate . ” to “. $thisDate7 . ““); // Now you can iterate through the
results and do // whatever you like foreach ( $event_posts as $single_event ){
$url = get_permalink( $single_event->ID ); $title = get_the_title( $single_event-
>ID ); echo ‘event: [‘ . $title . ‘](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/programming-event-list/' . $url . '?output_format=md)‘;
* }
* }
add_shortcode(‘SiE_Events’, ‘sie_events’);
* I do get the echo of the date come up: 2015-05-12 to 2015-05-19 but no events
to which I know there is at least 25 for the date period.
I’d also like to add
start date to the event.
* Thanks in advance

function sie_events(){
$thisDate = date("Y-m-d");
$thisDate7 = date("Y-m-d",strtotime("+1 week"));
$event_posts = event_embed()->obtain( [
'from' => $thisDate,
'to' => $thisDate7

echo($thisDate . " to ". $thisDate7 . "
");
// Now you can iterate through the results and do // whatever you like
foreach ( $event_posts as $single_event ) {
$url = get_permalink( $single_event->ID );
$title = get_the_title( $single_event->ID );
echo 'event: ' . $title . '';
}
}
add_shortcode('SiE_Events', 'sie_events');

your custom shortcode 🙂

Thanks again for your help

* The start date of each event? Use [tribe_get_start_date()](http://theeventscalendar.com/functions/tribe_get_start_date)
for that. To specify a limit just add a limit argument in the array you are passing
to **event_embed()->obtain()** 🙂
* > and to be really annoying, can it be Day of week (full), date Month?
* It can be whatever you want! You can learn about date formatting in PHP (which
is what [tribe_get_start_date()](http://theeventscalendar.com/functions/tribe_get_start_date)
uses under the hood) over here:

* Sorted 😛
* `$datd = tribe_get_start_date( $single_event->ID, false, 'l jS F' );`
* No need for the get_option part
* Barry, your a star.
