Hello –
I entered the shortcode of [EVENT_CUSTOM_VIEW template_name=”category-accordion” exclude=”17″] where 17 is the ID of the category I want to exclude, but it is still showing in the accordion.
Thanks –
Jennifer

Hello,
That parameter is for the event id. Here is an example of how to use it:

Hi, Lorenzo –
Before I purchased this add-on, I was told by EE support staff that I could exclude specific categories. If this is not the case, I will need a refund, because it will not be useable for my site.
Thank you –
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
Let me check with some team members to see if we can adjust the parameter to look for categories instead of events.
Thanks.

Hi Jennifer,
I’ve taken a look at the accordion template and it seems that functionality was intended to exclude single events rather than full categories.
A small code change is need to exclude the full categories.
Open up espresso-template-category-accordion/index.php on line 65 you’ll find:
$catcode = $category->id;
Make some space under that line and add:
if($exclude && in_array($catcode, $exclude, true)) {
continue;
}
That will remove the full category section although, say you have 2 categories ‘Cat 1’ & ‘Cat 2’.
If you exclude Cat 1, that ‘dropdown’ will be removed from the output, but events in both (for example) Cat 1 & Cat 2 will still be displayed within the Cat 2 dropdown. As by default they would be displayed in both sections.
If you prefer I can send you a copy of the accordion template with these changes to the email account linked with your account.

Hi, Tony –
This worked perfectly! As usual, EE support never ceases to be anything less than awesome.
One other question: If I include this template in the uploads/espresso/templates folder, will it prevent the file from being changed if the plugin is updated?
Thanks again!
Jennifer

Yes, you can move a copy of the template to the templates folder to ensure that your edits aren’t lost on a software update.
Please see the guide at the end of this page:
