I have TEC 2.0.1 running successfully on a site that does not use widgets. I'm looking for the correct code to display a list in the sidebar of titles of the next 5 upcoming events with links to the events. I have read the documentation but have not come up with anything that works. It seems like at the root of it I would need this template tag:
http://tri.be/support/documentation/the-events-calendar-template-tags-general-functions/#functiontribe_get_events
It seems like I have to integrate that tag into something like this example:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts#Custom_Post_Type_Category_.28Taxonomy.29
TIA for any help.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/the-events-calendar/
This is working pretty well so far. I just need to add the links...
<li><h2 class="widgettitle">Recent Events</h2><ul>
<?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'tribe_events', 'posts_per_page' => 5 );
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
echo '<li>';
the_title();
echo '</li>';
endwhile; ?></ul></li>
Got the links in. This seems to work and has title attributes...
<li><h2 class="widgettitle">Recent Events</h2><ul>
<?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'tribe_events', 'posts_per_page' => 5 );
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?></ul></li>
Of course you might have to adjust the ul and li tags to fit the styling of your theme. You can also add the

Thank you for figuring this out!
Shane says that the Template Tags will be supported in version 2.0.2 which should be out in a week or two. They actually are not currently supported, which explains why I couldn't get them to work.
