   I see in the instructions that you can add a calendar to a post using the post tag {events_calendar}. However, I was wondering if there is a way to add a calendar to a template page. I tried:

   echo do_shortcode('[events_calendar]');

   This didn't work.

   I'm looking for a way to specify a category depending on a querystring variable. If I pass ?market=NY, I want to be able to display a calendar with only NY events in it. Ideally, it would work be doing the shortcode, as in:

   echo do_shortcode('[events_calendar categories="11"]');

   I figured it out myself, but I didn't add the attributes to the shortcode itself:
   

   <?php
   function get_cat_info(){
   	$market = getmarket();  //function that reads querystring
   	$catname = $market."-events";
   	$idObj = get_category_by_slug($catname);
   	$id = $idObj->term_id;
   	return $id;
   };
   
   function events_calendar_func( $atts ){
   	$id = get_cat_info();
   	global $fsCalendar;
   	$content = "{events_calendar; categories=\"$id\";}";
   	return $fsCalendar->hookFilterContent($content);
   };
   add_shortcode( 'events_calendar', 'events_calendar_func' );
   ?>

   Now I can put this in the template page:

   <?php echo do_shortcode('[events_calendar]'); ?>
