[EventCalendar] How do I display a list of Past or Previous Events on the sidebar?

[Joe Subs]

Thank you again Dr.

1.  your suggestion:

" to add <?php ec3_get_events('1 day'); ?>" to the sidebar.php"

that works!!

It shows "today's events" on the sidebar as needed. THANK YOU!
I tried it with by creating 2 different events happening "today" and  
both are shown on the sidebar. Cool!

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think, the string "1 day" is today,  
while "2 days" is "today and tomorrow", and so on; with "7 days" is  
"today till 7 days from today"

Am I right?

========================

2. as for your suggestion for my wish to show past events in the same  
manner:

"create a link to http://yourblog.com/your_event_category/? 
ec3_before=today"

I know this and it will give me a link to the page listing the past  
events.
I've tested that before and that works well.

But I don't want a link to a page. I want a list of past events on  
the sidebar. the keyword here is the "SIDEBAR", not on a page, I want  
it just like "today's events" above (no. 1)

=========================

Anyway, I'm happy! one works! That great.

however the need to show past events in the same manner is still  
rather illusive.

is there a way to tweak the query: <?php ec3_get_events(' MYSTERIOUS  
STRING ') ;?> to achieve that?

hmm.

anyway, good Dr.

Salut!

JK
