mat8iouI am using the Event Calendar plugin to display up coming events in the sidebar of my blog. The thing is that a lot of the time, there aren't any up-coming events, so I don't really want a box near the top of my sidebar saying "No events" - I'd prefer if it just disappeared in these circumstances.
Anyway, I searched the plugin documentation & found no obvious solution for this - so ended up creating some PHP code to capture the output & show the output conditionally depending on what it contained.
<?php ob_start(); ?>
<?php ec3_get_events(5); ?>
<?php $events_list = ob_get_contents(); ?>
<?php ob_end_clean(); ?>
<?php if (!strstr($events_list,'No events')) : ?>
<li class="events">
<h2>Upcoming Events</h2>
<ul>
<?php echo $events_list; ?>
</ul>
</li>
<?php endif; ?>The question is - is this a sensible way of doing what I'm trying to achieve? Or is there a more obvious way that I'm missing?
