Hey guys,
i have a problem with the UpcomingEvents function of the event_calendar module in SilverStripe 2.4. I'd like to display the next 5 events on the startpage in a sidebarbox. I tried using $UpcomingEvents directly and

function UpcomingEvents()
   {
   return DataObject::get_one("Calendar")->UpcomingEvents(5);
   }

which I found in another thread. Both don't work. I get some HTML with empty links:

<div id="events">
<ul id="Menu1">
<li onclick="location.href = this.getElementsByTagName('a')[0].href"><a href=""></a></li>
<li onclick="location.href = this.getElementsByTagName('a')[0].href"><a href=""></a></li>
<li onclick="location.href = this.getElementsByTagName('a')[0].href"><a href=""></a></li>
<li onclick="location.href = this.getElementsByTagName('a')[0].href"><a href=""></a></li>
</ul>
</div>

and yes, I only get four of those.
Thanks for your help.

Okay, dummy fault...
So now I get no events (but there are).

function UpcomingEvents()
    {
    return DataObject::get_one("Calendar")->UpcomingEvents(5);
    }

and

<div id="events">
         <% control UpcomingEvents %>
            $UpcomingEvents
         <% end_control %>
      </div>

Output is just the <div>

Okay, that makes sense when using control. I'm using Image Gallery's RecentImages function and that works without control but the control-element makes styling much more flexible.

Thank you for your help.
