Hi there! How do I create a page that shows just certain events. For example, if I have events that are baseball games and football games…how do I have a page that will JUST show baseball games or JUST show football games only.
Thank you!
Create categories, put the events in the wanted categories and use the category option for the events_list shortcode
Ok perfect, where can I find the short codes again?
#_CATEGORIES[1,3][], when I input this code on a blank page it just appears as it. I tried with and without the 3. The number 1 is what I need which is a specific category. When I click the page I put the code in, it just brings up that code text and not the event with that category.
Thanks again!
That is a placeholder ( text being replaced by something usefull inside a shortcode).
Read the usage doc at http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=8
I’m sorry Franky, I’ve read all of the documents you’ve sent me, including the short codes and placeholders links to the left side of the page and just can’t find what I must need. From what it sounded like I needed the code #_CATEGORIES[1][] on a newly made page. Which I thought would just display those events with that specific category (1). But it’s not working. I’m not using the EME events page either. Do I need to use certain code around those codes or placeholders? Like the <p>?
Thank you so much for the help.
Ok, let’s take it slowly:
– when reading the usage page at http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=8 , it states you need to use shortcodes on regular pages to get anything done from EME. And it says to look further down in the doc for the possible shortcodes.
– So, going to http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=17 , you get a list of possible shortcodes for events lists, locations, or anything else mentioned there.
– In your case, let’s go to the shortcode doc for events: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=18 . There you have a whole lot of reading to do, but at the bottom there are some very useful examples.
– In this case, wanting to limit the events to one category for a specific wordpress page, use this example: [events_list category=1,3] (for showing events in category 1 or 3) , or [events_list category=1+3] (for showing events in both category 1 and 3)
Perfect! Thank you so much Franky! I’ve got that all settled. Now, is there a thread or topic I can turn to that will help me change the format of the details it gives me of an event before I click on it. Like for example, mine gives me one bullet point which is Date then Name of Event (which is in military time), and City.
You’re such a great help!
For that you have all kinds of “format” settings in the EME settings that influence this: you have format settings for event lists, location lists, single event, booking list, ical feed, google maps balloons, emails, etc … Inside these format settings, you must use the relevant placeholders to do the formatting. See the doc for placeholders: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=23
For single events, these can be overridden in the single event creation/edit window.
For event and location lists, the new template feature can also be used, again read the doc: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=51
Perfect! That all worked out great! Now is there a thread than can point me to how I change the color of my sign up box. Mine is black with green letters. Here it is if you want to take a quick look, http://get2gethersports.com/events/1/orality-in-james-joyce-conference/. Also, how can I bold letters and underline them? Is that just regular html code?
All CSS. Use firebug or any code viewer to discover which html field id to change.
And read this: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=30
Ok perfect! Can you give me some guidance on where to create these files? And where to input code?
Thanks so much!
