I do have this in my funtions file will it be effecting the new code above?

//* Change the default people slug to something else in Event Espresso 4
add_filter( 'FHEE__EE_Register_CPTs__register_CPT__rewrite', 'ee_custom_people_slug', 10, 2 );
function ee_custom_people_slug( $slug, $post_type ) {
    if ( $post_type == 'espresso_people' ) {
        $custom_slug = array( 'slug' => 'speakers' );
        return $custom_slug;
    }
    return $slug;
}

Thanks again
Ben.

Hi Josh

Thanks that has now added the post attributes meta box so i can enter the order. I have added numbers 1-5 to some of the people but they are not ordering on the page. Could this be because i have created a short code to show them on the page?

This is the shortcode [display_speakers] and its corresponding code i have in my functions…

function display_speakers(){
 $template_vars = array(
    'layout' => "classic",
    'type' => "grid",
    'columns' => 6,
    'img_size' => "us_400_400_crop",
    'metas' => (array) us_get_option( 'archive_meta', array() ),
    'content_type' => "grid",
    'show_read_more' => 0,
    'pagination' => us_get_option( 'archive_pagination', 'regular' ),
);
 $the_content = us_load_template( 'templates/blog/listing', $template_vars );
 echo $the_content;
}
add_shortcode("display_speakers","display_speakers");

Hi Josh

Is there no easy way to make it work with this code? I found it on a forum so have no further access to the developer?

Hi Josh

I will look into this further and see if i can find this out thanks.

If us_load_template() does accept the “order_by” function how would i add that?

Thanks again
Ben.

Hi Josh

I think this is where us_load_template() is defined in the Zephyr Themes helpers.php does this help?

/**
 * Load some specified template and pass variables to it's scope.
 *
 * (!) If you create a template that is loaded via this method, please describe the variables that it should receive.
 *
 * @param string $template_name Template name to include (ex: 'templates/form/form')
 * @param array  $vars          Array of variables to pass to a included templated
 */
function us_load_template( $template_name, $vars = NULL ) {

	// Searching for the needed file in a child theme, in the parent theme and, finally, in the framework
	$file_path = us_locate_file( $template_name . '.php' );

	// Template not found
	if ( $file_path === FALSE ) {
		do_action( 'us_template_not_found:' . $template_name, $vars );

		return;
	}

	$vars = apply_filters( 'us_template_vars:' . $template_name, (array) $vars );
	if ( is_array( $vars ) AND count( $vars ) > 0 ) {
		extract( $vars, EXTR_SKIP );
	}

	do_action( 'us_before_template:' . $template_name, $vars );

	include $file_path;

	do_action( 'us_after_template:' . $template_name, $vars );
}

/**

function us_get_template( $template_name, $vars = NULL ) {
	ob_start();
	us_load_template( $template_name, $vars );

	return ob_get_clean();
}

Hi Josh

No developer documentation i’m afraid, could you point me in the right direction of how to implement a WP_query i have read this but am still unsure how to implement it to order the people.

Thanks again i really appreciate your help,
Ben.
