i’ve sent some details privately and yes, the shortcodes you guessed are what i have used.

July 27, 2023 at 8:20 am

ok great! this is clear to me at first read. i assume ee files don’t need their own directory in my child theme?

do you have a collection of code snippets somewhere to browse or search? my google fu was only getting really complicated examples like grid cards and animated toggles.

getting back to this, trying to sort out the

> Would the registration CSV report for the event not be a better match for pulling those details in?

as long as the site owner can view the attendee details on a password protected browser page, it’s fine. any advice for that?

August 8, 2023 at 6:36 am

yeah csv won’t work for us. so far i have this for the attendees…

and that puts the email address on the page, but i’d like to print the event title above the lists, so i tried this in the loop template, but it doesn’t work. any suggestions?

ok great. that worked. thanks so much. i’m almost there.

August 13, 2023 at 12:52 pm

ok. i’ve gotten my espresso events shortcode working to my liking.

but now the problem is the register button on the single events page is just reloading the event list page. i tried to submit two posts here on the issue, but they are not appearing in the forums. i moved the setup to the live server to install and test the payment connection, but i must not have the new authorize.net plugin set up properly. my critical pages are all there, i’ve added my api codes….

i noticed my forum posts weren’t added when i was trying to go back and edit the info with:

sometimes i see this error when loading the Event TIckets page

An error has occurred:
Direct access to the registration checkout page is not allowed.
InvalidCheckoutAccess – checkoutAccessIsInvalid – 75

thanks.

August 16, 2023 at 5:19 am

hello? any thoughts on the authorize issue? we are unable to sell events currently. if your new plugin doesn’t work, is there a way to connect ee with the authorize setup that works with our woocommerce and bookly offerings? i’m at my desk all day today. thanks for your help.

August 17, 2023 at 5:02 am

please respond. the site owner is getting frustrated that her events next week will be affected. is there anything you can advise? is there anything i can provide? credentials? screenshots?

August 17, 2023 at 7:21 am

also, this link is dead (from the authorize sim settings tab)

August 17, 2023 at 7:59 am

maybe the shortcode i wrangled isn’t passing something properly? you can see we are desperate to find a solution.

i also tried enabling debug and enabling test transactions but no errors are thrown, it still just reloads the event listings page.

thanks.

i still am not connected with ee to authorize. we are now considering other options to sell our events.

i noticed on the troubleshooting page for the authorize plugin it mentions another plugin called Authorize.net Accept and it says i can “Download Authorize.net Accept from your EventEspresso.com account page” but i only have access to the SIM plugin. where do i download that plugin?

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/authorize-net-sim-payment-gateway/#troubleshooting

August 23, 2023 at 5:40 am

i see that someone has finally watched the video i provided EIGHT DAYS AGO. hopefully resolution is on the way. if you need anything from me, i’m in the office today, but out until monday after that.

September 13, 2023 at 7:17 am

it looks like the new Auth.net Accept plugin will cost us extra? is that true or am i just missing where to download it?

oh! it was way at the top. i totally missed it. thanks.

🙂

September 13, 2023 at 12:34 pm

the shortcodes are placed in the tab widget items, in plain text

September 16, 2023 at 1:05 pm

putting this back together…

i have confirmed that even with my child theme and the ee grid plugin deactivated we are still unable to save any custom email templates. please let me know how to overcome that.

while today’s modifications have kept the event category shortcodes in tact, i’m not quite where i want to be.

i’ve gotten the items i want in our ESPRESSO_EVENTS shortcode showing, but cannot for the life of me get the details and button all on one line. it seems like a hard coded “clear: both” on the ticket selector grid is hampering me.

isn’t there a way to call the ticket prices (and number of available tickets) without the whole ticket selector table?

trying to get here:

September 18, 2023 at 6:15 am

a friend is helping me sort the layout issues with some javascript.

since the authorize issue has been fixed but our email templates are still not saving, and we need to keep our sales open, maybe it’s better to moce your troubleshooting that on staging environment. i can create one for you if it’s needed.

September 20, 2023 at 6:33 am

there are no EE shortcodes on our press page. if you insert it, there should be no space held empty for the notices. i could see that you’d want these notices on an events archive and other event pages, but it should not insert itself in an unrelated archive, especially not in such a way that it distorts the layout with no content.

September 23, 2023 at 7:59 am

thank you. i’ve added that to our live site.

September 25, 2023 at 7:11 am

what is the trick to getting shortcodes to let go of the cache? the shortcode i created for our front page does not update an event date change on hard refresh.

September 25, 2023 at 4:42 pm

that’s really weird because we have no cache plugin on the site. the issue is with our event in early october. on the front page it says he’s on the 5th and on the other pages it correctly says the 4th after it was changed. but the front page one stays as 10/5. i’ll check tomorrow and see if the host cache has affected it.

September 26, 2023 at 6:12 am

1. i have no cache plugins.
2. shows incorrectly on never-visited browsers with hard refresh
3. i have confirmed with dreamhost there is no server side cache

some images to peruse

this is the shortcode i am using to create the front page list. is something in the code causing it?

<?php
// Options
$reg_button_text = $button_text ?? __( 'Register Now!', 'event_espresso' );
$alt_button_text = $alt_button_text ?? __( 'View Details', 'event_espresso' );
$default_image   = $default_image ?? ( EE_GRID_TEMPLATE_URL .'images/default.jpg' );
$date_format     = get_option( 'date_format' ) ?: 'Y-m-D';

if ( have_posts() ) {
	echo '<div id="ee5-simple-list"><ul>';
	// Start the Loop.
	while ( have_posts() ) {
		// Setup the post.
		the_post();

		$post = get_post();

		if ( isset( $post->EE_Event ) ) {
			$datetime = $post->EE_Event->get_first_related( 'Datetime' )->get_datetime( 'DTT_EVT_start' );

				$button_text = $alt_button_text;
			} else {
				// Event "register now"
				$event_url   = $post->EE_Event->get_permalink();
				$button_text = $reg_button_text;
			}

			$image_url = $post->EE_Event->feature_image_url() ?: $default_image;

			echo '<li>';
				// if ( $image_url ) {
				//     echo '<img src="' . esc_url( $image_url ) . '">';
				// }

				echo '<h3> <a class="ee5-event-title" href="' . esc_url( $event_url ) . '">' . esc_html( $event_name ) . '</a> - <span class="date-time">' . esc_html( date_i18n( $date_format, strtotime( $datetime ), true ) ) . '</span> </h3>';
			echo '</li>';
		} else {
			// Post isn't event, do something?
		}
	}
	echo '</ul> </div>';
} else {
	// If no posts for loop (404), include the "No posts found" template.
	espresso_get_template_part( 'content', 'none' );
}

i use this for the template instead of the actual grid layout provided by a plugin i found on github.

https://github.com/eventespresso/eea-events-grid-view-template/blob/master/espresso-grid-template.php

what is causing this?

September 26, 2023 at 8:19 am

switching back to 7 did not bring the correct date in either.

September 27, 2023 at 6:38 am

here’s a weird thing i discovered this morning. if i change the event date to 10/3, the shortcode updates the date to 10/4, but the ee pages show 10/3.

something is not right. help!

September 27, 2023 at 8:08 am

please please please build some sort of shortcode builder for those of us who aren’t php afficionados. lol. thanks.

September 27, 2023 at 11:11 am

an interface that allows me to build this type of thing or my event tickets page from choices of event data.

the best example i can show you is something akin to dynamic.ooo’s condition generator. https://www.dynamic.ooo/conditions-generator/

i could see the choices being along the lines of

Type of output (table, li, span?)
ID of the event (would then show all the variations of things you might want to list based on the event id data)
– dates, times, costs, details, images, whatever
option for output
– automatic inserts a shortcode at best or… like the .ooo example, gives you a snippet to start with or add to a plugin, etc.

as you see… i am way more of an ideas gal than a dev. 🙂
