I am attempting to create a duplicate of the espresso_table custom file template so that I can have a different variation of it. I know how to modify template itself, but in some cases I want a table that only has a course name and register column and other times I need one with more columns/details (but I need them both showing at the same time, so I can’t just edit the original template). I will briefly run through what I’ve done so far. It’s late and I was winging it, so I’ll try to stay coherent! At one point earlier on I got the shortcode I created to display the original esspreso_table’s template, so I figure I am headed somewhere in the right direction. Anyhow, I duplicated the espresso_table.php file and renamed it espresso_tabletest. Inside that file at the top I changed what function it was referencing on line 12 to:

<code>function espresso_display_tabletest($atts){
</code>

Went into the custom_shortcodes.php and copied the chunk of code used for the espresso_table and edited it with my names:

<code>function espresso_tabletest($atts) {
ob_start();
espresso_display_tabletest($atts);
$buffer = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $buffer;
}
add_shortcode('ESPRESSO_TABLETEST', 'espresso_tabletest');
</code>

And in custom_includes.php I did the same thing, found the espresso table code and modified it to fit my new template:

<code>if (file_exists(EVENT_ESPRESSO_TEMPLATE_DIR."espresso_tabletest.php")){
require_once(EVENT_ESPRESSO_TEMPLATE_DIR."espresso_tabletest.php");
}
</code>

Right now I am getting the page to display but I’ve got this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function espresso_display_tabletest() in /home/content/73/10778773/html/wp-content/uploads/espresso/custom_shortcodes.php on line 132

So it’s clearly not recognizing my new function and I went into the custom_functions.php and didn’t see anything referencing the espresso_table, so I am stopping here for the night/early early morning. My only other guess is that I didn’t do something right in the custom_shortcodes file? I was hoping I’d be able to just duplicate and modify the code I found for espresso_table – did I get close? Flying by the seat of my pants on this one.

Thanks ahead of time!
