    I have defined a custom attribute: Status.

    I defined every event with status “open” or “closed”.

    Now i would like to create an eventlist which should only display the “open” events.

    I also have a “long” Eventlist which includes both, open AND closed. This works perfect.

    Is there any shortcode for?

    How can I realize this?

    Use conditional tags for this, see

    Thanks for your answer.

    I have read it but don’t understand how i can do it.

    I tried: [events_if tag='#ESC_ATT{status}' value='open']

    but it doesnt work…

    That should work, assuming the attribute is called “status”. Where did you put this (in which EME settnigs field)?

    I put this as a shortcode in my page.

    In the settings field:

    – in the standard list format events: my standard format (#_town etc.), which i call with [events_list limit=60 showperiod=monthly scope=future] on my site.

    On my other site, which should display the “open” events, i placed the shortcode [events_if tag='#ESC_ATT{status}' value='open'] – but it doesnt work…

    You need to put it in the “standard list format” setting for events, so you can then decide wether or not to show a specific event:

    [events_if tag='#ESC_ATT{status}' value='open']
    
<tr><td>This is #_EVENTNAME</td></tr>
    
[/events_if]

    Or you can use the available filter for events, see http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=41

    Thanks.

    But my standard list format looks like:

    Code:
    <tr>
    <td borderColor=”#00ff00″>Date</td>
    <td borderColor=”#00ff00″>Name</td>
    <td borderColor=”#00ff00″>Location</td>
    <td borderColor=”#00ff00″>Info</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td borderColor=”#00ff00″>
    [events_if tag="#ESCd #ESCm #ESCy" notvalue="#ESC@d #ESC@m #ESC@y"]#d.#m.#y bis #@d.#@m.#y[/events_if]
    [events_if tag="#ESCd #ESCm #ESCy" value="#ESC@d #ESC@m #ESC@y"]#d.#m.#y[/events_if]

    </td>
    <td borderColor=”#00ff00″>#_LINKEDNAME</td>
    <td borderColor=”#00ff00″>#_TOWN</td>
    <td borderColor=”#00ff00″>
    [events_if tag='#ESC_ATT{status}']<b>#_ATT{status}</b>

    [/events_if]
    #_NOTES</td>
    </tr>
    </table></font>

    This is working for my page with the shortcode “[events_list limit=40 showperiod=monthly scope=future] perfectly.

    But now I would like to have a second page, with only the status=open events!

    I dont know how i can realize your proposal with having two sites… because the “standard list format” is already set for my first page.

    Look at the “format” option for the [event_list] shortcode

    Thats a good point.

    I have tried it with the following code for the first test:

    Code:
    [events_list format=”[events_if tag='#ESC_ATT{status}' value='open'] <tr><td>This is #_LOCATION</td></tr> [/events_if]“]

    But it shows the whole events, not only the status “open”…

    Hmm …. I’ll check this out myself, but it might be that the conditional tags won’t work here.

    I’m thinking about adding an option for event_list formats, so you can just choose the format as an ID then, that would solve most issues here (I hope). To be evaluated …

    For now, I suggest to use the availble wordpress filters:
