Hi i was reading this post from the old forum and was looking to replicate it:

https://eventespresso.com/forums/2012/02/how-to-display-events-as-a-chart/

noticed you said you planned to make it work with the venue manager and if this update is still planned?

Also the shortcode im using is
[ESPRESSO_TABLE show_expired=”false” category_id=”coventry”]
yet expired events are still being shown? any ideas why?

Thanks

Um…sort of? We need to do work on all of those templates, but we haven’t had time to do so what with the updates for 3.2 and calendar and everything else. That said, I was able to do some of that by wrapping the venue shortcode in a do_shortcode function and getting that information to show up in the tables (that’s really the “make it work” that was “planned”).

Also the shortcode im using is
[ESPRESSO_TABLE show_expired=”false” category_id=”coventry”]
yet expired events are still being shown? any ideas why?

Sure, probably the show_expired parameter isn’t working. Can you check to see if you have this around line 26:

$show_expired = $show_expired == 'false' ? " AND e.start_date >= '".date ( 'Y-m-d' )."' " : '';

If you are using the ESPRESSO_TABLE shortcode, then you would need to look in the espresso_table.php file. The same is true for where to put the ESPRESSO_VENUE shortcode to display that information in the table; you would need to edit the espresso_table.php template (or the template for whatever table shortcode you are using).

ye i do have the code in the file, i assume that means its not working properly?

also ive just noticed that the category_id=”stirling” does not function. meaning it might be a problem with adding stuff to the shortcode.

[ESPRESSO_TABLE show_expired=”false” category_id=”stirling”]

ive been using this format and the show expired and caregory id sections appear not to be working
