Grouping by location?

Hi,

this might help you out – https://pastebin.com/9VWCquiT

I wanted to modify main events-list shortcode, but I am stuck now ??

I tried this code:

add_filter( 'em_events_get_default_search', 'my_em_styles_get_default_search', 1, 2);
function my_em_styles_get_default_search( $searches, $array ) {
	if( !empty( $array['template']) ) {
		$searches['template'] = $array['template'];
	}
	return $searches;
}

add_filter( 'em_events_output_args' , 'my_em_events_output_args' );
function my_em_events_output_args( $args ) {
if ( isset( $args['template'] ) && !empty( $args['template'] ) ) {
	$args['format_header'] = '<ul>';
	$args['format_footer'] = '</ul>';
	$args['format'] = '<li>#_EVENTLINK - #_LOCATIONLINK, #_EVENTDATES</li>';
	$args['orderby'] = 'location_id,event_start_date';
}
return $args;
}

But it does not order well…

All I want is modified list of events when adding shortcode [events_list template=”test”]:

Event 1 - Location 1
Event 3 - Location 1
Event 2 - Location 2

Any idea? Thank you for your help…

agelonwl: Thank you for your code, but if I understood it correctly, shortcode location_group shows only list of states and regions (grouped). I want to make list of events which could be sorted (grouped) first by location and then start date.

try shortcode [events_list order=”ASC” orderby=”location_name,event_start_date”]

Thank you for your answer! Yes, I tried this and it does not work, maybe bug?

Results are the same as simple event_lists shortcode without arguments:

Event 1 - Location 1 - 06/06/2011 - 18/12/2013
Event 2 - Location 2 - 21/12/2012
Event 3 - Location 3 - 28/05/2018
Event 4 - Location 1 - 28/12/2012

I would like to sort events like this (grouped locations):

Event 1 - Location 1 - 06/06/2011 - 18/12/2013
Event 4 - Location 1 - 28/12/2012
Event 2 - Location 2 - 21/12/2012
Event 3 - Location 3 - 28/05/2018

I tried to debug queries, but with no success. But it looks like some kind of bug…

how about removing event_start_date in the shortcode?

No way ?? I tried everything… I tried location, location_id and location_name. It looks like location is ignored somehow… Could you please test it if I am not crazy? You need only some testing events…
