Hi, I’m using the small sidebar calendar module and taking off the left and right arrows for previous and future months and I’m trying to get a scenario similar to here where upcoming events are just on a sidebar list, and maybe previous events are too BUT I’d like to have it that they only list upcoming events if there are any in that month - so I guess an ‘if’ statement is needed?  Anyone done something similar or know what might work?

you’ll use the weblog entries tag, php to get the current date and the start_on and stop_before parameters
http://expressionengine.com/docs/modules/weblog/parameters.html#par_start_on

<?php
global $LOC;
$current_time = $LOC->decode_date('%Y-%m-%d %g:%i %A', $LOC->now);
?>

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}" limit="5" sort="asc" show_future_entries="yes" start_on="<?php echo $current_time; ?>"}

thanks I’ll give that a go.

Hi - that works for the sidelinks but when I click on the link it gives me a blank page - what would I need to put in my template to show future and present entries - or would I need a new template with new weblog entries parameters?

Presently I have a fullstory template with this:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="events" dynamic="off"}
<h2>{title}</h2>
<p><span class="newsdate">{entry_date format="%F %d %Y"}</span><br />
{news_full_story}<br />
{/exp:weblog:entries}

s’ok was missing show_future_entries=“yes”
D’oh
