I have version 3.1.36 installed on WP 3.8.1 with the Tempera theme. I would like to add a page of instructors that would link to all events that the instructors teach. I guess I would need to pass the staff ID as a param or something. Is there an easy way to do this or do I need to do some customizations here?

Hi Jodi,
That is something we don’t have, the shortcodes can list staff attached to a specific event, but not actually link to what events they are attached to.
I would say you would need some minor customisation.
What I would do is add a link/s on the staff page which goes to another page that has a special page template assigned to it.
This link will have a url query, for example, if the page with the template is http://www.myexample.com/staff-events, the link would be http://www.myexample.com/staff-events?staff=1, where 1 is the staff ID
Then the page with the template would have a custom page template which echoed the EVENT_LIST shortcode, but that grabs the URL query
something like
<?php
$x = $_GET['staff'];
echo do_shortcode('[EVENT_LIST staff_id="' . $x . '"]');
?>
Making a page template is pretty easy, I just copied the themes page.php and renamed it and added a little bit of code – see here http://codex.wordpress.org/Page_Templates – then assigned the template to the page where I want the events to be shown.
I hope that makes some sense.
