Hi,
I’m trying to create a custom shortcode to pull event data and display it in a customized way. The reason I wanted to do this was to avoid having to hack apart how the core shortcodes work in EE… Not sure if this is/was the best way to go or not, but either way, that was the idea.
Here’s the problem:
1. couldn’t get the EE_Event object to load (finally resolves—found how in the dev docs)
2. once accessing EE_Event data (which should give me close to everything I need, presumably), I can’t access data such as event date, event meta, event tax terms, etc.
So, the question I have is, how can I do a wp_query (basically speaking), and pull in the events tax terms (e.g. event category = “discovery”), and extra event info (date, tickets, registration button, etc.)?? Not finding much great info detailing all of this.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi,
We actually use a slightly modified query, a basic example can be found here: https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/e3c9540cd4ccc734e755

Hi Dean,
Thanks for the follow up. Can you tell me, how can I go about getting the ticket names for an event and output them into a page template? I want to query one event and return the ticket dates. Thoughts?
Thanks again!

Hi Kyle,
Have you looked at using the available template tags listed here:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/ee4-themes-templates/
espresso_list_of_event_dates(),
espresso_event_reg_button(),
and
espresso_event_tickets_available()
sound like what you’re looking for.
Note: In order to use the above tags, you’ll likely need to load in the event view helper by calling:
EE_Registry::instance()->load_helper( 'Event_View' );
