Hello,
I have used EE3 for some time and works really good, now i am trying to setup EE4 in a new site, and would like to make some questions.

1 Is it possible to display the event paga as a list With name of the event and date?
2 in EE3 i have translated a very big part to portuguese, is it valid to the new EE4?
3 You still don’t seem to have a wider support for europen countries, will it take long? do you plan that? Hope so.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,

1 Is it possible to display the event paga as a list With name of the event and date?

Event Espresso 4 uses Custom Post Types, so it is certainly possible to do it that way. You would need to create a custom page template.

2 in EE3 i have translated a very big part to portuguese, is it valid to the new EE4?

If the translations were added to GlotPress then they have been transferred over to the EE4 language files. Not all of the strings will be valid though as the strings may not appear in EE4.

If the translations are unique to your site, then no they wont transfer over. You should be able to add the language files to the plugin, and then using Poedit open it and do a source check, this will basically update the PO/MO files with the new EE4 strings, and pass over your existing ones (that are applicable). I found it a bit fiddly to do but it is possible.

3 You still don’t seem to have a wider support for europen countries, will it take long? do you plan that? Hope so.

Please can you advise what you mean by this? We have expanded the currency filters (one of the main issues in EE3 regarding internationalisation) to help be more international friendly.

Hi, thanks for your quick reply 🙂

still related to question 1 i have tried this shortcode in the events page but nothing appears
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS order_by=”event_name,start_date,city”]
if i am doing wrong, can you point me in the right direction, please.

Question 2, yes i have made the translation in GlotPress, can i just copy the MO and PO files from the upload directories in the old installation and create also a languages folder to put both language files?

Question 3 In the prices option everything is related to dollar and i don’t see an option to create a new price, only discount,percentage or surcharged (does’t this mean overcharged?). Maybe my question are funny but this is how it came across to me.

But i really appreciate your work in making this great plugin.

Hi Nuno,

The parameters are wrong. This is the current usage for the ESPRESSO_EVENTS shortcode (you can find this information in the Help & Support menu in the Event Espresso dashboard).

Displays a list of events based on a set of criteria on a WordPress page or post. Unless otherwise specified, events are sorted by start date.

Show a list of all of your events
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS]
Set a custom title for the event list
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS title=”My Super Event List”]
Limit (paginate) the number of events that are shown in the event list on a page or post
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS limit=”5″]
Add a custom CSS class to each event post/article
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS css_class=”my-custom-class”]
Filter the event list by month and year
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS month=”October 2104″]
Show expired events in the event list
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS show_expired=”true”]
Sorts the event list in ascending order
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS sort=”ASC”]
Sorts the event list in descending order
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS sort=”DESC”]
Order the event list by a specific set of parameters (refer to available options below)
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS order_by=”start_date,id”]
These parameters (options) are available for the shortcode above. Multiple parameters should be separated by a comma.

id
start_date
end_date
event_name
category_slug
ticket_start
ticket_end
venue_title
city
state

The language files for EE4 were updated fairly recently from GlotPress, and can be found here – https://github.com/eventespresso/languages-ee4

Question 3 In the prices option everything is related to dollar and i don’t see an option to create a new price, only discount,percentage or surcharged (does’t this mean overcharged?)

To change to your country, first off make sure that in the General Settings > Your Organization tab, your address has the right country in it. Then head over to the General Settings > Countries tab. Make sure that the “Country Appears in Dropdown Select Lists” is set to yes and add any State/Provinces (regions) that you may need.

The site will then show the appropriate country currency etc.

You can create new Default Prices via the Pricing menu, but really these should be limited, as they will mainly be used as base prices. Mostly you will set the ticket price individually in the events.

Surcharge means an extra charge on top of the ticket, most often used for taxes, credit card fees, handling fees, etc.

Hi,

I see. Well as mentioned it can be done but would require a template to show the events like that. Right now we don’t have any as we are trying to get the core plugins resolved first. You could however create one yourself, or if your coding knowledge is not great you could hire a developer to do so – https://eventespresso.com/developers/event-espresso-pros/

Regarding the error, can you provide a link to your site for me to create a test registration?
