How can I build links to events that match certain criteria?

I’ve created a overview page that shows all events that I offer, now I like to use the standard EME page to list just the events matching the category, so I get a list with all occurrences of that event. So I like to redirect to the EME page listing the events, rather than building a dedicated page to each event, I thought there is a way to use URL’s that would have for example the event category to filter the list of events.

I was looking at the documentation and searched here in the forum but could not find any hint on how to do it?!

http://…./events/cat/catname
(replace http://…./events with your events page url, and “catname” with the name of your category)

Are there more criteria’s that I could use to build a link to a set of filtered events?

Do you have a documentation link here for me please?

The easiest way to list one event with all it’s occurrences (even better than the categories, as events could share a category) would be the event URL (permalink) without the event ID number….

https://www.sensorgrafie.de/veranstaltungen/87/fotoseminar-grundlagen-1

so something like:

https://www.sensorgrafie.de/veranstaltungen/events/fotoseminar-grundlagen-1

The benefit would be that at a more static page or post somebody could use a link to an (recurring) event and list the (next) occurrences for this event, instead of linking to an event that will be gone after it happens.

For example when writing an article that introduces an event I link to this event like…

https://mydomain/events/1/eventname

Now that event may reoccur but the event ID then will be a different one. And also from a SEO perspective the link at the article that introduces the event gets deprecated and at a later stage it might be 404er.

Having the option to use the title (eventname permalink) to get a list, this can also happen, when there is no future event for the eventname, but chances are better to find results.

At the end what I do is, my events are courses, these courses will reoccur from time to time having the same permalink structure and eventname. But once an older event is in the past the link to this event is outdated and will result in a not found when I used the link in the introductory posting.

Does this make sense?
