Using EME IF

[Anonymous]

Hi Franky,

What I’d like to do is hide certain events on the main events list using [eme_events] based on a users role.

I’ve already got this setup for booking forms, so when someone is logged in, if they don’t have a specific WordPress role that has been added to the event as an attribute they can’t book onto the event and are shown a message stating: code below.

[eme_if tag='#_USER_HAS_ROLE{#_ATT{role}}' value='1']
#_SEATS
<table class="eme-rsvp-form">
<tbody>
<tr>
<th scope="row">First Name*:</th>
<td>#REQ_FIRSTNAME</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row">Last Name*:</th>
<td>#_LASTNAME</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row">E-Mail*:</th>
<td>#_EMAIL</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
[/eme_if]
[eme_if tag='#_USER_HAS_ROLE{#_ATT{role}}' value='0']<strong>You are unable to book a place on this event.</strong>[/eme_if]

What I’d like to do is, using the [eme_events] shortcode, apply the same logic and only show events that people are able to book a place for based on their WordPress role, hiding any that they’re unable to book a space for.

I can’t seem to get it working, so thought I’d best ask if this is possible?

Thanks,
David,

Reason is that in the form the #_ATT value is replaced and later on all the other generic placeholders (like #_USER_HAS_ROLE) when the event-part of the code is executed.
However for events the logic was coded differently, since there first the generic placeholders are replaced (which is #_USER_HAS_ROLE) and just after that #_ATT and all other event placeholders.
Now: switching the replacement will not solve the problem too: some people want to use generic placeholders inside #_ATT (and even more: when you have event custom fields then that replacement happens later on too).
So it is not an easy one 🙂 For now: try to use a fixed role and not via another variable, unfortunately that’s all I can offer. I’ll take a look but no promises at all.

Thanks Franky.

I think I’ve got it working with a fixed role. I can’t really use it in production though as the site has around 15 possible user roles!

No problem at all, really appreciate you taking a look.

Correction: that change *will* help 🙂 But it will be in the next version too.
