Hi All,
I have some questions that I need answering and will pay for assistance if someone would like to help me out of the forum. (mog@mogmachine.com)
1. How do I check if there are tickets currently on sale for an event – instead of future tickets that are not available yet (as I want to change some button text and content accordingly).This is within the event loop.
2.How do I get a list of child categories for a specified parent and then list only those categories with events in them. (much like wp_list_pages works). This is to build the dropdown menus for the site.
3. How to query/return events from category so can be outputted into an image slider. So, I know I can use [ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”your_event_category_slug”] …but I want the data to manipulate in my own loop.
4. How to return price of cheapest active ticket (not archived) so that I can show a “From” price on the events listing page.
5. How long are tickets held for once in the cart. This is just info, but we need to know how this works please.
6. Finally, I need to be able to add a fixed fee charge to each transaction. Like a postage fee. I know that unbelievably this is not possible currently, so if anyone would be prepared to write some code to let us do this then this would be very useful.
Please let me know even if you only know the answers to a few questions, ..this is a tight deadline as the client wishes to go live asap but I need to resolve these issues.
Feel free to take this conversation to email if you prefer. mog@mogmachine.com
Thanks

Hi Marcus,
In general we suggest contracting with one of the developers listed on our pros page for help with writing specific custom code:
https://eventespresso.com/developers/event-espresso-pros/
I can answer your question about #5, the cart/session has a timer on it and its default is 60 minutes.
You can change the amount of time the timer starts with by using the ‘FHEE__EE_Session__construct___lifespan’ filter hook.

Hi Josh,
Thank you for getting back to me, …but I was hoping something as simple as querying the events should not be something I have to pay a developer to do when I myself am a developer and perfectly capable of doing so, but the documentation for EE4 and the forum contains no reference to this whatsoever.
Is it as simple as querying the custom post type based on the taxonomy? And are the event variables/shortcodes available within the loop?
There should really be some examples of these fairly basic tasks in the documentation to use as reference.
I would be happy to pay anyone on here including yourself for the time to answer my questions and provide some guidance, …I can’t imagine they are overly complicated requests. ..but do not have the time to brief someone on the job in its entirety as I am 90% through the development.

You’ll find some information on how to query EE posts in the following documentation:
