I’m just starting to dig into Event Espresso for a client site and had a question that might be super basic. The site I’m building has 3 components:
- Rental space for weddings
- Rental space for meetings
- Garden club
My client wants to keep the Garden Club very separate from the Rental space. The Garden Club will have recurring events, new events…basically Event Espresso is perfect for this aspect of the site. My client would like it so that people interested in renting the event space would be able to see a “restricted” calender which would only show the times/dates the space is and isn’t available without all of the Garden Club info in there. They would also like to make it so renters can “reserve” the space but would need to be invoiced from my client directly.
So, is it possible to handle this with 2 Registration pages? Not sure if that’s the best approach as, like I said, I’m just getting my hands dirty with the initial setup.
Any thoughts would be awesome!

Hi Jason,
If I am understanding correctly, I would say that you would be best using categories and the [EVENT_LIST category_identifier=your_category_identifier] and [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR event_category_id=”your_category_identifier”] shortcodes to help split them up into category specific lists/calendars

Hey Dean…yeah, I get how to show calendar’s with category identifiers but is there a way to show events from a category as “busy” in a calendar? In other words, if I wanted to display category A events on calendar A can I also have category B events on Calendar A but simply have those time slots shown as “busy” or “booked” instead of the actual event name and details? Make sense?

Hi Jason,
It makes sense yes. The only way I know how to do that would be manually add a category to those events and colour code it and add a legend on the page.
Other than that you would have to delve into the code to do it.

I guess one way to do it would also be to create a category (reserved) and then tag certain events with that category. Then, I assume I can create a calendar for that category and style it such so it just blocks out the time and maybe make it so they can’t click through?

Indeed, though you would need to use jQuery to stop the events from being clicked through.
