Upcoming Events Widget?
Hi, We want to add an upcoming events widget on our wordpress site that just lists the date & event title for upcoming events. Each listing would link to the individual event description.

None of the options for embed really work for this purpose & your wordpress plugin doesnt have this option either. We tried using the today/upcoming events embed iframe option, however, its set to a static size & cannot adjust dynamically. Also thought of using the rss, but that has the full description on the feed. Any advice or pointers would be most appreciated. We have the "premium services".

Thx!

Re: Upcoming Events Widget?
Here's how I did what (I think) you want:

1. Drag the localendar widget onto your site's sidebar (or wherever)
2. Enter your widget title and localendar user name
3. Select the "static (non-interactive) embedded calendar" view style
4. Click Save

I suppose the iframe might have worked too, but you would need to supply custom width/height. The static embed is better in this case (having navigation controls doesn't make sense for a "Today"-based view)

BTW, you can customize the number of days shown and the labels from your localendar account. Click Options->General and select the "Show More" section at the bottom of the tab.
