Sorry, I’m not sure how that happened. This should be the right link:

Oh I must have miscounted while I was just editing the file. Are you asking for the full shortcode I am using on the page with the error? That is:

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE table_search=false order_by=start_date category_slug=”epa-rrp-ref”]

That is quite strange that his works and mine did not. When I click to view/edit the file, it opes up with TextEdit which was preinstalled on my computer. I am going to be making more changes today, so I will report back if making any edits causes the error again. Thanks guys!

I have slowly but surely continued editing, and there haven’t been any major issues. No more error messages have shown up yet, but I have still been struggling with a couple things.

I am trying to follow the tutorial for showing the first datetime without the time (e.g. December 10, 2014 instead of December 10, 2014 7:00am). However it seems like the sample code is different from my file.

This is what I have:

$datetime = end( $datetimes );

//let’s use date_i18n on the correct offset for the timestamp. Note it seems like we’re doing a lot of
//unnecessary conversion but this is so it works with two different pardigmas in the EE core datetime
//system, without users having to worry about updating.
$startdate = date_i18n( $date_format . ‘ ‘ . $time_format, strtotime( $datetime->start_date_and_time(‘Y-m-d’, ‘H:i:s’) ) );

Instead of this:

foreach ( $datetimes as $datetime ) {
$startdat = $datetime->start_date_and_time();
}

I have tried editing in a way that makes sense to me but I haven’t produced the results I am looking for.

Apologies, I was following along one of Lorenzo’s gist templates. I was attempting the second alternate he provided.

This is my current file:

https://gist.github.com/anonymous/db90d2ab4eaab5c499b5

I had previously tried editing the end of line 108 to remove the “_and_time” and “, ‘H:i:s'” as referenced above, but instead of taking away the time completely, it just says that they all start at 12:00 am now.

Okay I’m back (hopefully for the last time).

I have been continuing to make edits successfully with no errors reporting! I have been attempting to follow other tutorials, and have found moderate success. However, there are still two things I cannot quite get right.

Here is my current code:

https://gist.github.com/anonymous/3369e974a9b89ea92ce9

1 (Line 126): The last thing I am trying to accomplish with the table itself is to be able to display only the “City, State” for the venue location. Right now it is showing the full location (using “espresso_venue_address”), but nothing shows up when I try changing it (even just to the parameter “espresso_venue_city”). Again, my ideal situation is for it to only display the “City, State”. I’ve also tried removing all details except for the city and state in the address area of the events (i.e. without a business name, street number, or country), but even that shows up as “City, State, UNKNOWN”.

2 (Line 21): This is a little tricky. We are currently using categories to designate which course it is and which location it is. That way, I can use a short code on the page like above (i.e.”[ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE category_slug=epa-rrp-ref]”) to only display one type of course per table. But then I don’t want the course names to show up in the drop down category filter, I only want the consumer to see the location they are searching for (i.e. “Minnesota”, “New York”, etc.). I am fairly certain this is the bit of code I need to adjust so that it doesn’t “Show All”, but nothing I do pulls it up right. Is there a way here to exclude certain categories from showing up in the filter bar?

Just a final push in the right direction is all I need!

Hey Lorenzo! That first tutorial seems to be exactly what I am looking for.

As for the second question. I still want the category filter to appear. I just don’t want all of the categories to appear. So for example, for each event we will either select “RRP Initial” or “RRP Refresher” to designate which kind of course it it. But we will also select “Minnesota”, “New York”, “Illinois”, etc. to designate which location the course take place at.

But then the drop down category filter will have all of the categories listed. I want to edit it so that I can use the short code to show only “RRP Initial” or “RRP Refresher” designated events, but I only want the state names (“Minnesota”, “New York”, “Illinois”, etc.) to show up in the drop down category filter. Does that make sense/is that possible?

Sorry, I thought that would show you the text of the gist, not just the url. But if you follow the earlier link, that is what I have been basing this off.

That was the second attempt I did at adding it to the functions.php file, because just adding:

function ee_remove_category_options_from_dropdown() {
  if(is_page('12')){
 ?>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
jQuery("#ee_filter_cat option:contains(Optimist Lanzarote)").remove();
});
</script>
 <?php
}
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'ee_remove_category_options_from_dropdown' );

didn’t make any changes to the specified page either. Am I doing something wrong or adding this to the wrong place?

March 7, 2016 at 8:34 am

As I mentioned earlier, when I put that into my functions.php file, I copy and pasted that exactly, except for I replaced the 12 with the appropriate page ID number as well as replacing the “Optimist Lanzarote” with the actual category title that I wanted to exclude and nothing happened.

Would Lorenzo have a better idea of what to trouble shoot in this situation, since he wrote the code in this tutorial?

Josh, I actually went through to double check everything I had, and it turns out that the person who set up event espresso had a typo in the category name. I fixed that and everything seems to be working perfectly now. Thank you for your help in trying to resolve this!
