Hi there,

I’m afraid that if you use the singleevent shortcode on the the same page as the event_list shortcode ther isn’t a way to show just the snippet.

There is a way to programmatically only display the first event of the series with the event list shortcode.

First, you’ll need to change the show_recurrence parameter to true. Then you’ll add this function to to your custom file add-on’s custom_functions.php file or in a custom snippet plugin

// function to help display only the first event in a recurring event series
function get_recurrence_info( $recurrence_id = FALSE )
{
    $recurrence_info = '';
    if ( $recurrence_id )
    {
        global $wpdb;
        $r = $wpdb->get_results('SELECT * FROM ' . EVENT_ESPRESSO_RECURRENCE_TABLE . ' WHERE recurrence_id="'.$recurrence_id.'"');
        if ($wpdb->num_rows > 0)
                $recurrence_info = $r[0];
    }
    return $recurrence_info;
}

then you can open your wp-content\uploads\espresso\templates\event_list.php file, and locate the event_espresso_get_event_details function (around line 29 in my file) and just after the line 275 where it says:

foreach ($events as $event) {

You add:

$r = get_recurrence_info( $event->recurrence_id );
if ( $event->recurrence_id == 0 || $r->recurrence_start_date == $event->start_date ) {

and then add the closing curly brace at the end of the function

}

This will allow all non-recurring events to be displayed as well as the first event from a series of recurring events.

No, the correct file is \templates\event_list.php. You can copy it and the event_list_display.php file to wp-content\uploads\espresso\templates\ to keep the files safe from getting overwritten on an update.
