Is it possible to allow a user to filter and events list by category? For example, having a page which displays all events using [EVENT_LIST], and which the user can filter using a dropdown.
Thanks
Ben

Hi Ben,
Event Espresso doesn’t have a feature that builds a category filter like you’ve described here. Some have used the [EE_META] and modified the event_list to include a meta key for each event similar to categories, then wrote their own JavaScript to build a filtering tool. This would filter the events by meta_key.
There is a built in event search tool that does autocomplete filtering based on the event name, and it’s pretty simple to set up: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#event-search

Excellent – thanks Josh. I’ve constructed a jQuery function to filter the meta keys, as you suggested, and it works perfectly. I’ll post a link here as soon as the site is live.

That would be awesome. We also have a showcase, if you’re so inclined you could submit the link there too:
