Hey Mann? Thanks for the note, and for using The Events Calendar. If I understand correctly what you’re going for here, you should be able to accomplish it via template tags. Those are documented in some depth here: http://tri.be/support/documentation/.
That help, or no? Let me know either way and I’ll follow-up as needed.

Mann ?
(@mannr89)
After lots of pilfering about and sifting through every page, I came up with this:
<ul>
<?php query_posts('&post_type=tribe_events&posts_per_page=5'); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<li>
<?php $startdate = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_EventStartDate', true); $db = $startdate; $timestamp = strtotime($db); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php if ($startdate == date('l, j F')) { echo '<strong>Today:</strong>'; } ?> <?php the_title(); ?></a><br />
<?php if ($startdate == date('l, j F')) { echo ''; } else { echo ''; echo date("l, j F", $timestamp); echo '<br />'; } ?>
<small><?php $excerpt = strip_tags(get_the_excerpt()); echo $excerpt; ?></small></li>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<li>No events scheduled.</li>
<?php endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>
</ul>
Not as elegant as anything on the tribe website, but as long as this lovely plugin is working, I’m a happy Mann.
Fantastic to hear that got you sorted, Mann? . Great work figuring that out – would love to see the finished product sometime, if you’re ever inclined to share it 🙂
Going to mark this RESOLVED since it looks like you’re sorted, but please let us know if you need anything else down the road. Thanks again for your support.
