Hello
I’m currently displaying the category the event is in, in the following format:
$category = espresso_event_categories($post->ID,'none', FALSE);
However occasionally an event is in two categories.
I’d prefer it for each category to be in array as I want to make the category clickable to go to the category page. Is this possible?
Thanks

Hi David,
That should already be happening because the helper method for espresso_event_categories loops through all of the event categories and displays a link for each one. You might be running into an issue with the second param set to none, it should actually be a boolean. So can you try:
$category = espresso_event_categories($post->ID, FALSE, FALSE);
instead?

Ah yes that does work thanks.
However,
Is there anyway of setting a class for the links that it generates, preferably different for each category?
The client wants to have the name of the category highlighted in a different colour, depending on what category the event is in.

Hi David,
Yes there are ways. You can add a custom helper function to a site specific plugin, like this example function:
https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/7c2229bb90cf850e35e3afd18ac3dcb9
Then you call your custom helper in your template:
$category = my_event_categories_with_classes($post->ID, FALSE);

Thanks Josh
However I’m now getting this error:
Call to undefined method EED_Events_Archive::link_target()

I’ve just taken that line out the code and it seems to have worked – I’m guessing it’s something to do with setting the target, which in this instance doesn’t need to be set.

That’s a defined method. I wonder if your code is running too late, or possibly your page isn’t technically an event custom post type so the class might not be loaded on that page. In either case you don’t need it.
