Hi to all.

First, Thank you for this great piece of software. Great.
We are making our new events live for the next year and we want to to know if we can make the list of events look a little bit nicer ๐Ÿ˜‰

The Event List now looks like this:
https://bikerausch.de/kurse-und-touren/unsere-kurse-und-touren/

Is it possible that it can look like this:
https://bikerausch.de/touren-kurse/

Of course the date must be the date of the event, but the rest could be like that.

Is it possible?
Cheers, Mike

Hi Mike,

Is it possible that it can look like this:
https://bikerausch.de/touren-kurse/

That’s either your themes own archive template or a custom template created specifically for EE events and your theme, so its it’s possible, but will take some custom development.

Just to confirm before I go into more details which may be completely wrong, is this page:

https://bikerausch.de/kurse-und-touren/unsere-kurse-und-touren/

Just using the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode?

Hi Tony.

Thank you for your reply. This is great.Thank you for your information. It seems that this is a custom template of the theme. Very interesting. Thank you for this information.

Yes, we are using the following shortcode und the page
"[ESPRESSO_EVENTS show_title=false]"

It would be nice to have a list view with a headline, short text, date of the event and a picture…

Thank you for your help.
Cheers Mike

Hi Mike,

What you are trying to do s possible, but you’ll need to take control of the template being used to output the details.

We do have some controls for the event list order in Event Espresso -> Events -> Templates. You can re-order and enable/disable content in that section for the events lists from EE.

If those don’t work for you you’ll need to customize the template.

The template loaded for the shortcode (which then loads other templates) is in \event-espresso-core-reg\public\Espresso_Arabica_2014\content-espresso_events-shortcode.php

Copy that to the root directory of your child theme and you can start altering how the shortcode details are output using the comments in that template file.

Hi Tony.

This is great. I did a reorder and disabled the stuff we do not need. Thank you. One last question ๐Ÿ˜‰ Now, we have 2 pages. The menu in the end of the page is not recognized by the visitors. Is it possible to show all events on one page?

Thx, Mike

By default the limit (and ‘post per page’) value is set to 10, but you can update that when using the shortcode using the limit attribute so change this:

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS show_title=false]

To this:

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS show_title=false limit=50]

That will show up to 50 events per page, and whilst you could go higher, be careful you aren’t pulling too much data into a single request.
