[Plugin: Events Manager] List Recurring Events as one Event

hello!

simply add recurring=”1″ as a search parameter:

[events_list recurring="1"]#F #d - #@F #@d #_EVENTNAME at #_LOCATIONNAME[/events_list]

Problem with that is it only lists recurring events not the rest of them.

oh i understand now. you want all events, but instead of recurrences of recurring events you just want a single entry?

– none recurrnig event
– none recurrnig event
– recurrnig event
– none recurrnig event
…

im afraid but i think for this youll have to define a custom shortcode:

function em_get_events_list_shortcode_all($atts, $format='') {
	$atts = (array) $atts;
	$atts['format'] = ($format != '' || empty($atts['format'])) ? $format : $atts['format'];
	$atts['format'] = html_entity_decode($atts['format']); //shorcode doesn't accept html
	$atts['page'] = ( !empty($atts['page']) && is_numeric($atts['page']) )? $atts['page'] : 1;
	$atts['page'] = ( !empty($_GET['page']) && is_numeric($_GET['page']) )? $_GET['page'] : $atts['page'];        

        // get recurrence events
        $atts['recurring']=1;
        $evts_recurring=EM_Events::get($atts);

        // get non-recurrence events
        $atts['recurring']=0;
        $evts=EM_Events::get($atts);
        // filter out the events that are instances of recurring events
        $non_recurrence_evts = array_filter($evts,'is_no_recurrence');

        // merge recurrence and non-recurring events
        $evts_all= array_merge($non_recurrence_evts,$evts_recurring);
        // sort them by start==start date+time
        usort($evts_all,'evt_start_sort');

        //
	return EM_Events::output( $evts_all, $atts );
}
add_shortcode ( 'events_list_all', 'em_get_events_list_shortcode_all' );

function is_no_recurrence($evt) {
    return $evt->recurrence_id == null;
}

function evt_start_sort($evt1, $evt2) {
    return $evt1->start > $evt2->start;
}

and for the display a custom conditional placeholder

function filter_condition($show_condition, $condition, $conditionals_key, $thiss) {

    if ($condition == "is_recurring") {
        $show_condition=$thiss->recurrence == 1;
    }
    return $show_condition;
}
add_filter('em_event_output_show_condition', 'filter_condition',10,4);

so then you can use the shortcode like this:

[events_list_all recurring="1"]#F #d {is_recurring}- #@F #@d{/is_recurring} #_EVENTNAME at #_LOCATIONNAME<br>[/events_list_all]

alternatively, you could just use the {is_long} conditional placeholder like this:

[events_list_all recurring="1"]#F #d {is_long}- #@F #@d{/is_long} #_EVENTNAME at #_LOCATIONNAME<br>[/events_list_all]

cheers, stephan

Pastebin – to your code – just in case
https://pastebin.com/pdtY51x6

Thank You ! I will give this a try and post back.
Logically – – it looks correct except one part I’m not following:

$non_recurrence_evts = array_filter($evts,’is_no_recurrence’);

and

usort($evts_all,’evt_start_sort’);

How does the code know to look for this as a function … being that its in quotes?

this is how function references are done in php i guess. this kind of syntax is all over the codex (add_filter, add_shortcode,..) so i just used it.

found some info on those callbacks here and here

Hi Shatting, thanks for the code. Works great!

Does anyone know how to customise Shatting’s code to filter events like this by location?

I’d like to show all the events for a location with the recurring events only showing once.

@michelleleslie

This shortcode is simply filtering the em_events.
So you should have access to all the other arguments

[events_list_all recurring="1" location="12"]#F #d {is_long}- #@F #@d{/is_long} #_EVENTNAME at #_LOCATIONNAME<br>[/events_list_all]

Where “12” is the id of the location you wish to use.

@acts7

Thank you for the speedy response. Much appreciated. ??

Hi thanks for this shortcode. This list it returns shows events with starting dates in the future but emits those with ending dates in the future but starting dates in the past. Is there a way to get it to include events that are currently ongoing? Thank you in advance.
