[Plugin: Events Manager] Show Categories on Events Page / Link to Location URL

Hello,
for your first problem you can add this in “forms/layout”
#_EVENTCATEGORIES
Shows a list of category links this event belongs to.
or this:
#_CATEGORYNAME
Shows the category name of the event.

But there is also another option to solve your problem, when you use this:
Custom Attributes

Events Manager allows you to create dynamic attributes to your events, which act as extra information fields for your events (e.g. “Dress Code”). For more information see our online documentation for more info on attributes.

#_ATT{key}
This key will appear as an option when adding attributes to your event.
#_ATT{key}{alternative text}
This key will appear as an option when adding attributes to your event. The text in the second braces will appear if the attribute is not defined or left blank for that event.
#_ATT{key}{option 1|option 2|option 3|etc.}
This key will appear as an option when adding attributes to your event. The second braces are optional and will use a select box with these values as input. If no valid value is defined, the first option is used.

thanks that did it!

is it possible to change the label “Categories” to “Artist”. Because I’m creating this site for a friend of mine and it would be much easier with the right label…

and another problem: Is it possible to change the permalinks so that that the show the date of the event?

cheers

Yes, but you’d have to change this with PHP, I’d imagine you can probably change a taxonomy label somehow after it’s created.

and another problem: Is it possible to change the permalinks so that that the show the date of the event?

not at the moment.

hi marcus thanks for your help!

Changing it with PHP is no problem. But do i have to search through the whole .php-files and replace evrything entry that says “Categories” into “Artists”, or is there an easier way?

the next problem i came across is, that the plugin is not working together with qtrans. Some idea how to solve this?

Hi,

1. maybe you can use filters to change those.
2. can you provide more details on the issue?

yes!
qtrans gives me the opportunity to enter a german and and and english title seperately, in the admin panel. But when enter the title it show in the eventlist like that “<!–:de–>title-german<!–:–><!–:en–>title-english<!–:–>”.
I figured out that this is the way qtrans works and that Events Manager seems not to able to interpret that code.
But with the text/notes area qtrans it works well…

I solved the problem myself.
You just have to “quick-edit” it in the admin panel there you give it one single name…

that’s great then and thank you for sharing.

Hi it’s me again.

Now i solved pretty every thing concerning this plugin, but still i didn’t found out how to change the lables in the admin panel. So it’s easier to use as CMS system. So i would not have to explain it every new member where to edit what. I’d like it to be self-explanatory…

So I’d like “Categeroy” to show “Artist”. And in the Location area to change “Region” to “Website” and “Postcode” to “Phone-Number”.

Now, you (agelonwl) said i could use filters. But have no clue how to edit these filters.

So if anyone could say me how to get this done, i’d be very thankfull!
(if there is a way without filters it’s ok as well! I just want it to work!)

Whilst you could probably change category with something else, wouldn’t advise doing that to locations. Next update will come with options to add custom attributes to locations too, just like events, so you could add website, etc.
