Integrate events in other custom post type

Because EE4 does not support multilingual setups (WPML). I’m trying to load the event into another post type created by PODS plugin which does support WPML.

In the CPT I created a relation to the event and I’m able to get the event ID and also stuff like the_title() work fine. However, I don’t seem to be able to get the rest of the data from the event in my post.

What function calls can I use to embed the event data in my post?

BTW I also tried using the shortcode [ESPRESSO_TICKET_SELECTOR] but it only gives the basic data and booking button, not even begin-end dates.

Hi there,

You can use any of the template tags listed on this page:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/ee4-themes-templates/

Then if you require further info beyond what the template tags return, you can use the built in model objects to query the data:

Thanks for the quick reply.

Makes sense. I didn’t get how to use these but ok.
So if in the loop you can use these calls to get the data…

I’ve just added the espresso_event_reg_button() but this just makes a button link to the EE event post. It does not, like on the single event page, start the booking process.
Are there additional params/settings to get this working?

thanks

The espresso_event_reg_button() template tag doesn’t start the booking process. It only displays a link to the single event page. To get a functioning ticket selector on another CPT, your best option is use the ticket selector shortcode.
