Dear support,

For an event I’m making an online platform with use of Event Espresso 4.9.43.p. The event exists out of 15 different areas, where different presentations and workshops will be held. For a visitor it will be necessary in the future to register for a specific event to get a ticket. In total, the event will have 90 different occasions (events).

Right now I’m making a timetable for the whole day where all occasions will be listed. I’m using the following method:

– For every area at the event I made a different venue.
– I bought the Events Calendar add on for a list view.
– With custom code I’ve programmed that the Events Calendar will start it’s view on the event’s date (5 oktober).
– In the shortcode I filter on a specific venue (room), and have it’s view on ‘basicDay’. After this I want to use 15 different calendars on a single page so the visitors have a clear overview of every event listed under a specific venue.

The only problem is that the calendar is programmed so it can only be loaded once on a single page. I did some research, and it should be able to load a different calendar on a different page. My idea was to use iFrames to solve this problem and make 15 empty pages with single calendars loaded on to them.

After I tried, I noticed that the other calendars on a single page didn’t load either, even after I restarted my browser.

My question: Is there a solution to load the different calendars filtered on venues on a single page?

Kind regards,

Martijn

Hi Martijn,

The solution is use the Events table template plugin instead. You can set more than one ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE shortcode on the page (unlike the calendar shortcode). Then set the different events to their own category.

e.g.

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE category_slug=venue-a table_search=false category_filter=false]
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE category_slug=venue-b table_search=false category_filter=false]
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE category_slug=venue-c table_search=false category_filter=false]

and so on.
