I just bought the events calendar hoping to create the event list table like this(https://eventespresso.com/product/espresso-template-calendar-table/) and can’t seem to find any info on how to do it. Is there a video or tutorial that you can point me to?

Hi Chris,

That is actually a different add-on that shows your events in that format.

The events calendar will show your events in a calendar-based format.

You actually have both on your account so you may have downloaded the events calendar add-on.

Go to this link:

https://eventespresso.com/users/chrisjames-911/#ee3-downloads

Then look for Events Calendar Table Template v1.1. It appears just past half-way in the list of add-ons.

Go ahead and download that to your computer. Then login to your WP dashboard and go to Plugins –> Add New –> Upload. Select the zip file and upload and activate it.

From here, you can add a shortcode to a WordPress page and save changes to see the new display for your events:

[EVENT_CUSTOM_VIEW template_name=”calendar-table”]

And you can view additional parameters for the shortcode above here:

Hi Chris,

Can you explain this a little further please?

I can’t see any blue line and can see the ‘Register Now’ button on that page, here is my view – http://take.ms/Z30fv

Is that now what you are expecting to see?

The broken image under the price is actually the event content, has that image been removed?

Tony,
Thanks for the email, I found the issue after you sent me the email. I do have another question. How do I add a select box so people can buy more than 1 ticket at a time?

Hi Chris, the events calendar template does not support multiple pricing options. If you need that, then using the multiple events registration add-on would be a better choice.

What about the Multiple Ticket and Pricing Options? That seems to do what I am looking for but i can’t find the plugin on your site

Hi, that is available but it would be shown on the single event page.

The default view for Event Espresso is to show events in a listings format on the listings page.

Think of the events calendar table template as another way to present your events. The events calendar add-on would be an additional way to present your events in a calendar-based format.

If you enable the multiple events registration add-on, then you should see add to cart links appear on your event listings page:

example.com/event-registration/

I have multi-event registration enabled already. I don’t see what you are explaining.

Hi,

Can you provide a link to an event page that has at least two pricing options set?

That page should have a dropdown with those pricing options. That is actually the multiple ticket and pricing option.

If you combine that with the multiple events registration add-on, then you can setup a shopping cart feature where a registrant selects tickets that they want to buy:

Yes I just figured that out. But the event table adds this (http://trinity.tickets.vm-host.net/event-registration/?ee=4) ?ee=4 and once that is added the option to choose ticket quantity is lost. Is there something I can do to fix this?

The event table links to the standard registration form. (with ?ee=4)

If you follow the steps in the link Lorenzo provided above you can disable the registration form and include a link to add the event to the ‘cart’ for Multi Event Registration.

From the cart the user can select any ticket type available within your event.

This is handled much more elegantly within EE4, is there a reason you are using EE3?
