Custom Template Display – don't display certain categories

Hi All,

We have a few private events which we don’t want displayed on our site. All works fine except with the Custom Template Display addon. Can anyone help me out with what I would need to change so that only events in a certain category are displayed on this page.

There is a shortcode to show events from a certain category:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#event-list

[EVENT_LIST category_identifier=your_category_identifier]

[EVENT_LIST event_category_id=your_category_identifier]

Be sure to change your_category_indentifier to your actual value. Its usually an alphanumeric number.

You’ll need to change the 1 in the code to the id of the category you want to display. Not the long category identifier, but the integer in the first column of the category table.

Hi Lorenzo,

Thanks for your reply, but I am talking specifically about the custom template addon.

Hi Sidney,

Thanks for your reply. Do I add the code you provided above teh following:

		if ($event_status == 'NOT_ACTIVE') { 
			$live_button = __('Closed', 'event_espresso');
			$cart_link = '';
		}

I tried that and when I reload the page, I am presented with empty data in the rows and the category selector below. I am sure i am doing something wrong.

Am I meant to edit the code you provided to include the categories I want to exclude?

That sounds possible as well:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/custom-template-addon/#cel_how_work

Try this shortcode:

[EVENT_CUSTOM_VIEW event_category_id=”123″]

Change 123 to the category id that you are trying to show events for. This will be a number.
