Following on from: http://www.e-dynamics.be/bbpress/topic.php?id=1215

would it be possible to add a this_location placeholder available in Event List and Single Event and also a new placeholder for this_category.

I want to use these for suggesting related events.

Thanks

Could a donation bump this up a bit please?

(Unsure if it’s even being considered.)

Thanks

I looked at this last week, but it’s not as simple as it seems.

But I just thought of something: what about using this in single event description:

[events_list location_id=#_LOCATIONID]

That’s a good workaround – thanks.

Just will have to play around with the formatting a bit more I think

Got round to trying that and it doesn’t work.

I was using this:
```
[events_list location=this_location format="

<li>#M #j #Y - #_LINKEDNAME </li>

"]
```
And changed to your’s:
```
[events_list location_id=#_LOCATIONID format="

<li>#M #j #Y - #_LINKEDNAME </li>

"]
```
But both options are returning 6 lines of the same single event page (that is already being viewed).

FYI… in the example I’m describing, there are 6 events for that venue which is probably related to the 6 lines

“this_location” is only possible when viewing a location, so it doesn’t work when viewing an event.

I’ll check out the other option now.

Just realized it: if using a shortcode like [events_list] in another shortcode, you need to watch out for the placeholders: all things with “#_” get replaced first, so that’s why it seems like the same content appears. In this case: you can’t use the format option. This will work:
```
[events_list location_id=#_LOCATIONID]
```
In trunk I’ve added the possibility to use format anyway, using #OTHER as prefix for placeholders you don’t want replaced:
```
[events_list location_id=#_LOCATIONID format="

<li>#OTHERM #OTHERj #OTHERY - #OTHER_LINKEDNAME </li>

"]
```

Franky,

Sorry, I’m confused here.

I was already using that shortcode (with the additional formatting elements) but it didn’t work.

I also don’t see why it is a shortcode within a shortcode? Or is that just the way the plugin is written for the single events?

I haven’t installed the latest trunk but as this: [events_list location_id=#_LOCATIONID] isn’t working for me I don’t think the #OTHER functions will either.

Have I missed something here?

Thanks,

Tom

Ok, I’m using this in my settings for Default single event format

<h2>More events at #_LOCATION</h2>

[events_list location_id=#_LOCATIONID]

But viewing this page I get events for different venues?

Ok, now this is a bug: LOCATIONID inside a single event details wasn’t filled in, so it returned 0 and thus all locations were given. Fixed in trunk.
