Hi, do you have any examples or ideas how you could pass the category slug via the url to be used in an EE shortcode? For example, I have a sidebar with category/venue links that go to a page with this shortcode on it [ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”classes”]. What I’d like to accomplish is passing the category to it for example http://www.mydomain.com/filter?cat=classes. So that shortcode would be something like [ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”$_GET[‘CAT’]”]. Then I only have to have one page for listing 15+ categories and venues based on the customer choosing one of the filters.
Or is there an easier way to create a list of categories/venues with hyperlinks that go to a page that lists the categories/venues? When I use the built in page it shows them as blogs style entries, I’m wanting the list style view like so http://www.api-curious.com/classes-events/
Thanks

Hi,
The only way I can think of doing it would be to write a page template file or a separate custom shortcode that would use do_shortcode, and then grab the category from the $_GET global.
