Eventlist by a custom attribute

[Anonymous]

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

[Anonymous]

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”…

[Franky]

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 …

Thank you very much!

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