[EventCalendar] Returning current view in calendar

[Jay Packer]

Alex, I appreciate the response but am very unclear on what you're referring
to...

How do I use ec3_filter_posts_where() in conditional logic to ascertain my
location?

I think I've asked my questions rather poorly (especially by sending two
emails). I apologize.

All I'm trying to do is have a the mini calendar in my left navigation, and
then the events listed in the main content area. I understand very well how
to take advantage of wordpress's template system to make the pages display
differently when I'm on the calendar.

The only two things I haven't been able to figure out are:

1) How to determine my location (which is relatively minor in the grand
scheme of things) and

2) How to print out a full list of the events. If I use Wordpress's
templates to print out the events, I need to allow for a much higher number
of "posts" (events) to be printed out on the page than is set in under
Options / Reading of the admin area at the "Show at Most" field.

If I use the ec3_get_events(), then I've got to have a way of passing in the
right parameters if someone's looking at the upcoming events (their initial
view when arriving at the calendar, or a particular month or single day (if
they've clicked on one in the mini calendar).

My initial setup of the calendar went very fast and then I hit this point
and haven't made any progress since.

Jay

Hi Jay,

Look at function ec3_filter_posts_where() in eventcalendar3.php. There
is a global object called $ec3 - all of the parameters are member
variables.

You might also need to look at the WP global $wp_query.
