customedia

Awesome! Thx a lot.

I have another question, I found this attribute by digging throught the code: #_CATEGORYEVENTSNEXT Which allows me to see all the events belonging to a specific category, the only problem is that the events are not clickable. Is there a way to do so? ( #_CATEGORYEVENTSLINK or something?

Thank you

P.S. Before you ask, Yes I’ve read the documentation.

thx, but dint work out much. Could not find a way to make it work. The more I look at it the more I feel that this documentation dont have have all the information it is supposed to have. I ended using the widget instead. I modified it according to my needs.

For the link Its ok I found the Alternative

<a href="#_EVENTURL">...</a>

Well i think the problem is more that

if (class_exists('EM_Events')) {
    echo EM_Events::output( array('limit'=>7, 'orderby'=>'start_date', 'format'=>#_{ F j Y}#_CATEGORY#_EVENTLINK') );

Happens to be a loop that returns all the values requested. I tried adding some css here and there lik this:

if (class_exists('EM_Events')) {
    echo EM_Events::output( array('limit'=>7, 'orderby'=>'start_date', 'format'=>'<strong><span class="date">sss</span>'</strong>.'#_{ F j Y}#_CATEGORY<strong><br/></strong>#_EVENTLINK') );

Eventually in the ouput the SSS does come out along with its class as for the BR,it has lost its “/” the browser still manage to reconize it therefore the backreturn is done.

Question aside, I would like to know if it is possible to have a restriction concerning the #_EXCERPT, I would like to limit it to a certain number of character and is there a link place holder for the excerpt a bit like -> #_LINKEDNAME (#_LINKEDEXCERPT perhaps? LOL There is many hidden place holders that are not in the documentation…)

Thank you

@ agelonwl, @ Marcus

did you try working on the template instead? https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/using-template-files/

I tried the templates, but It dint work. As I mentionned earlier this is the code I used:

if (class_exists('EM_Events')) {
    echo EM_Events::output( array('limit'=>7, 'orderby'=>'start_date', 'format'=>'<span class="date">sss</span>'.'#_{ F j Y}#_CATEGORY<br/>#_EVENTLINK') );

The output ends up being this:

September 9 2011AppleLife
Hell may freeze over September 12 2011Legal/Regulatory Information Forum
The FSA’s 2011-12 Basic Inspection Policy for Banks September 16 2011theLoveStruckEvent
Mc donalds September 23 2011theLoveStruckEvent
The Latest Event created that should appear

As you can see the ouput is indeed coming out but i cant seem to add any html to it, I would like to be able to restructure it like this:

<span class=”date”>September 9 2011</span>
<span class=”categories”>AppleLife</span>
<span class=”text”>Hell may freeze over </span>

<span class=”date”>September 12 2011</span>
<span class=”categories”>Legal/Regulatory Information Forum</span>
<span class=”text”>The FSA’s 2011-12 Basic Inspection Policy for Banks</span>

and goes on…

Should I play with the filters?

Note aside:
Sorry Marcus for double posting earlier,

I’m having the same issue as well I would like to style up my list like this

Date
Category
Post Name

I manage to get the output, but I cant seem to style it at all. I would like to add spans and classes.

if (class_exists('EM_Events')) {
			echo EM_Events::output( array('limit'=>7, 'orderby'=>'start_date', 'format'=>'<span class="date">sss</span>'.'#_{ F j Y}#_CATEGORY<br/>#_EVENTLINK') );

thanks

I would like to know How can we display in which category doe the vent belong to?
I’m using this so far.
echo EM_Events::output( array('limit'=>7,'orderby'=>'start_date','format'=>'#_{ F j Y}<br/>#_EVENTLINK<br/>) );

and this is what my output end up being
September 9 2011 (THE MONTH)
Hell may freeze over (THE NAME OF THE EVENT)

I went through the documentation and there is few information regarding category manipulation. I also went through the template as well.

thank you

What if we do not want to use any shortcode? I need to show all the events on the site and then sort them by date( most recent first ) and then I need to get the date, the exercept and the category out. Any Ideas?

thx

What do we do when we dont know wich format to input in date_i18n
