Hi Seth,

I was able to get all the events from one of my sub-sites, but now I want to go a step further – I want to actually filter the events displaying on http://brokers.ktbenefits.info/json-list-events.php by a category called “CE Classes – Brokers” see this image (http://brokers.ktbenefits.info/cat.png) – I have a about 1 to 3 events with this category as of now.

This is the query that I have right now:
$url = “http://easytorsvp.com/espresso-api/v1/events/public?Datetime.event_start__gt=”.urlencode($curdate);
Which is displaying all public events starting after the current date.

I tried something like this earlier to filter the category – but this did not work:
$url = “http://easytorsvp.com/espresso-api/v1/events/public?event_category_id__like=%ce_class-brokers%&Datetime.event_start__gt=”.urlencode($curdate);

This is the page where I am actually displaying the data right now: http://brokers.ktbenefits.info/json-list-events.php

I looked around throughout the API documentation and did not see anything specifying how to filter events by a category – is there any help on how to do this ? what do I need to change on my query?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Seth,

Everything is working as I want it to thanks to your help.

There is one last thing that I want to do – it might be so simple, but yet a little complicated with the code that I have – I just want to open every event in a new tab when the event is clicked from the calendar.

This is the code that I have:
echo ‘{“title”: “‘.$event[‘name’].'”, “start”: “‘.date(‘Y-m-d’,strtotime($event[‘Datetimes’][0][‘event_start’])).'”, “end”: “‘.date(‘Y-m-d’,strtotime($event[‘Datetimes’][0][‘event_end’])).'”, “url”: “http://events.ktbenefits.info/event-registration/?ee=’.$event[‘id’].'”}’;

My question is: where do I have to place “target=_blank” to open it on a new tab ? this is the last thing that I believe is missing on my side.

Here is an example of the calendar:

Thanks for your help once again.
