Hello,

I am trying to find out if i can retrieve the different dates from a recurring event.

Lets say that create a recurring event called “Webdevelopment”.

And that event have these start and end dates.
1/1/2014 – 15/1/2014
1/2/2014 – 15/2/2014
1/3/2014 – 15/3/2014

So is there a way that i can extract these informations with eg. a shortcode or some sort of code that i can inject directly into a template or just manual adding it?

Hi Morten,

The closest we have to what you are requesting would be the Recurring Events Drop-down Template used in conjunction with the Custom Template Add-on

This displays the Event with a drop down of the available dates for that event.

Does that help?

The Custom Template Add-on (CTA for short) comes included as part of the your license, however the Recurring Events Drop-down Template does not (so would need to be purchased separately)

To give you an example of how it looks view here http://demoee.org/custom-template-add-on/

The event ‘Recurring event with Seating Chart’ has multiple dates. If you click the ‘Select a date’ button those available dates will be displayed. http://d.pr/i/jd64

Once you click the date you wish to attend you will be taken to the registration form for that event/date.

The CTA comes with a default ‘table’ template if you install the add on and add the shortcode [EVENT_CUSTOM_VIEW] to a page you can view this default template (however is does not include a date drop-down)

Installing the CTA is done in the same way you would install Event Espresso, we have a guide posted to guide you through available here:
