EE4 Event Table Template questions

I have a few questions about this add on.
1st – I see the list of shortcodes but I don’t know how to put them together. For example this is the standard:
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE]
and I want to sort by name so I I think I should use this:
sort = ASC (sort order, such as ASC, DESC)
But I don’t now what part of that to add and where to add it!

2 – currently I have a huge space between the top of the module, the category sort, the search box and the list of classes. How can I trim that down? Here is the live version:

I’d also like to know how I can sort by category & event name. So I can have classes only from 1 category listed on a particular page.

Hi Tamara,

1) The shortcode attributes are added to the shortcode like this:

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE sort=ASC]

2) The reason for this is the shortcode is wrapped within a ‘pre’ tag. If you edit the page, switch to text view and you will find something like this – http://take.ms/yYGNw

Remove those tags and update page, the spacing should then be correct.

3) You can string attributes together, to only display events within a certain category you can add ‘category_slug=”some-category”‘ to your shortcode (changing “some-category” to match your category slug), so:

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE category_slug=”some-category” sort=ASC]

Will display any event within ‘some-category’ sorted asc.

Does that help?

Another question about this template – I have a wordpress site that I’m told does not support EE. Sadly I had to open up a sub domain for my EE events & classes.

My questions is this – Is there a way for me to use a bit of code perhaps to display this event template on my original site even though EE is not downloaded on that site? My thoughts are to have it display there but when an event is clicked on it would take them to all the details on my sub domain where EE4 is installed.

I’m trying to find a way to have either this template or the calendar display on my regular website in a widget or in an html box.
