Event calendar/listings page?

    How can I make a page, or series of pages, that list posts about upcoming events not by posting page, but by the date of the events?

    I imagine this would require a few custom fields to activate, but, of course, am hoping that someone has already figured this out and either posted instructions or even a plug in.

    Ideally, this would allow different pages for different categories – ie, music events vs. film screenings.

    yes i am looking for this solution too.

    did you find anything yet?

    on almost every cms that i research, i’ve found that in order to do something like this you have to depend on larger event plugins which is a pain.

    WordPress’ natural category process allows your visitor to click on a category link created with the template tag, the_category or wp_list_categories, and then get presented with a page of the posts in that category.

    Resources:
    Template_Tags/the_category
    Template_Tags/wp_list_categories
    Category Templates

    I use GigPress plugin which lets you associate an event you added in the gigpress event calendar with a post.

    thanks for the replies.

    michael, i didn’t really understand your post to be honest. what you are saying that it’s possible to display a series of posts in a category, but inherintly wordpress and almost every other normal CMS out there only thinks of the date of a post in terms of the date you posted it. i’m looking to future-date and then sort.

    here’s a plugin that’s promising, but does not work on the latest version of WP:

    Yemoonyah: i tried out Gigpress and I thought it was promising as well, but it makes a separate table for events. and then you have to take a post and link it to that other table. It also really is intended for a “one band” solution, but i’m trying to make listings for multiple bands. so it’s a bit much for what my needs are.

    events-catgory 0.4 is compatible with 2.6.2, latest version of WP

    just tried events-category again, and i dont think it even does what i want it to do.

    let me clarify what i’m looking to do:
    a simple website where the main page is an event listing. each blog post is an event, and as such as a different date than the posting date. then i’d like to sort the frontpage of blog posts according to when the event is happening, not when i posted it.
