I have been happy with EE3 … I am assuming that there is no Event Espresso – Members Addon for EE4

There is: https://eventespresso.com/product/eea-wp-user-integration/

It works a little differently that EE3, for the EE4 add-on save the registrations for the user the details entered onto the registration info must match the users account.

By theming/templating I mean what if I want the same style for the frontend I have with EE3 … can I transfer that style to EE4 ? if yes then how ? I have the template files in /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates

Nothing within EE3 is compatible with EE4.

EE3 used its own templates for all output which I’m assuming you’ll know well as you have custom templates.

EE4 uses some of its own templates but it uses the sites theme to output the event details.

If you want the same output as EE3 with EE4 you will need to re-create the templates to suit.

Hi Rescon,

You can actually use just about any of the related WordPress functions if they’re post related things like featured images. e.g.

There are template tags for the event date, event status, and etc:

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

If you need to get data for something that doesn’t have a template tag, you can also use the models and build your own custom template tags too. Here’s a link to the documentation for the models system:

The easiest way to see all of the available methods on the object you currently have is to use Kint Debugger then wrap the object in d();.

Hello Josh … I am trying to get the description of the event using the EE_Event object like this $eventobj->desc() and also by using $eventobj->desc but both are not working … it works if I get the name $eventobj->name() … I am following the docs on github …

There is no method called desc() nor a property called desc which is why neither of those work.

description_filtered() should work but it depends what it is you are doing.

Correction … it also not working for the name as well

With the code your using it should work fine for EE events when you output the name.

please can you tell me how these functions are determined I mean I don’t see any pattern on which these can be used

I’m not sure what pattern you would expect to see?

I’d recommend using Kint above, you can then see all of the available methods using that.

can you let me know how can I get the google map link for the venue … I used the function that is in the plugin … but I don’t see any map showing up nor I can see any link being generated …

Which function did you use?

We have a template tag to output the venue map, you should be able to use espresso_venue_gmap( $post->ID )

Hello Tony … please see this screenshot http://prntscr.com/egpxjw

Right, that’s a property called ‘EVT_desc’ (not ‘desc’), its ‘protected’ which means you can not access it from outside of the class.

trying to get the output of the highlighted object but it does not output anything

Then use the method I provided above:

$description = $event_obj->description_filtered();

Also can you clarify from where I can find these functions description_filtered() for EE4 ??

The easiest way is to use Kint debugger as I mentioned above. Grab the object you need to work with and wrap it within d(); You’ll see a list of all available method you can use to output the data, like this – http://take.ms/SnSsJ

If you mean looking through the code to find the methods it’s a little more complicated but you can start by looking through:

\core\db_classes\EE_Event.class.php

To the event post?

The events are custom post types so you can add (and retrieve) custom fields in the same way you do with any other post:
