Hi mnbookarts,

Question 1-3 would require modifications to the Template code. Are you comfortable with PHP/HTML/CSS?

Regarding question 4.

Do you want the events to only be visible within that table or would you like users to click to view more info anf view the event description?

If you’ve made other modifications my line numbers may not match up with yours.

If you open up events-table/index.php lines 30 – 37

<thead class="espresso-table-header-row">
	<tr>
		<th class="th-group"><?php _e('Event','event_espresso'); ?></th>
		<th class="th-group"><?php _e('Venue','event_espresso'); ?></th>
		<th class="th-group"><?php _e('Date','event_espresso'); ?></th>
		<th class="th-group"></th>
	</tr>
</thead>

Makes up the header of the table – http://take.ms/RjqAs

Lines 93 – 98 make up the body – http://take.ms/oPK9Q

<tr class="espresso-table-row cat-<?php echo $event->category_id; ?>">
	<td id="event_title-<?php echo $event->id?>" class="event_title"><?php echo stripslashes_deep($event->event_name) ?></td>
	<td id="venue_title-<?php echo $event->id?>" class="venue_title"><?php echo $event->venue_name ?></td>
	<td id="start_date-<?php echo $event->id?>" class="start_date"><?php echo event_date_display($event->start_date/*.' '.$event->start_time, get_option('date_format').' '.get_option('time_format')*/) ?></td>
	<td class="td-group reg-col" nowrap="nowrap"><?php echo $event_status == 'ACTIVE' ? $live_button .  $cart_link : $live_button; ?></td>
</tr>

So to remove full columns (in this example Venue), you remove the header from the table, and its matching body. So to remove Venue info from the table, remove:

<th class="th-group"><?php _e('Venue','event_espresso'); ?></th>

From the header and

<td id="venue_title-<?php echo $event->id?>" class="venue_title"><?php echo $event->venue_name ?></td>

from the body.

The order they are listed within the code is the order they are within the table, Event, Venue, Date, blank for header. Then matching for body.

So just move the columns within the header and matching column within the body to change the order.

Does that make sense?

Hi,

The events-table directory should be located in:

wp-content/plugins/espresso-custom-templates/templates/events-table/

Hi mnbookarts,

3) add a column, to display events’ category inline

This one is the closest –

do_shortcode('[CATEGORY_NAME event_id="'.$event_id.'"]')

Although within that loop there is no variable $event_id which is why that doesn’t work. You’ll need to use $event->id so something like:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[CATEGORY_NAME event_id=' . $event->id .']');?>

Also, if you are going to use that multiple times within the document (it would appear not but just incase) I would recommend placing the output from that within a variable and using the variable when needed. So for example:

$category_name = do_shortcode('[CATEGORY_NAME event_id=' . $event->id .']');

$echo category_name;

4) adding events with no registration button

The easiest way to do this is to just add the event post url to the ‘Alternative Registration Page’ field within the event (http://take.ms/zB7dZ) the Register now text will change to display ‘View Details’ (http://take.ms/42Ti9). In the example I have posted, clicking that link will take you to the sites thank-you page but you just need to set your Event Post there. Be sure to include the full URL in that field.

One other problem, with the “Filter by category” dropdown menu…

We have seen this previous and have a fix. As you’ve moved things around within the template my line numbers will not match, but around line 100 you’ll find:

<tr class="espresso-table-row cat-<?php echo $event->category_id; ?>">

Change that to:

<tr class="espresso-table-row cat-<?php echo str_replace(',', ' cat-', $event->category_id); ?>">

Also further below within the Javascript/jQuery section you’ll find this line:

var ee_filter_cat_id = jQuery("option:selected").attr('class');

change that to:

var ee_filter_cat_id = jQuery("#ee_filter_cat option:selected").attr('class');

Does that help?
