Hello,
Sorry for the very basic questions, but i am not an expert.
What do i need to do to see the movie list custom file reflect in my events pages, i have already copy all the files to the uploads directory. Do i have to change the the page that have the [event_list]?
sorry for the very basic question but once i figure this out i will do the rest.
A very good new year for everyone.

Hello Nuno,
Add the shortcode [ESPRESSO_MOVIE_TABLE].
In the custom_shortcodes.php file is the code with some further information regarding usage, outlined below
Description: Displays a movie listing like table. Allows you to show
events in a CATEGORY within a certain number number of days into the
future and a qty. The example below only shows events in a certain
category that start within 30 days from the current date. Usage
Example: [ESPRESSO_MOVIE_TABLE max_days=”30″ qty=”3″
category_id=”gracecard” ] Custom CSS for the table display Notes: This
file should be stored in your
“/wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates/” folder and you should have
the custom_includes.php files installed in your
“/wp-content/uploads/espresso/” directory.
You can replace the [EVENT_LIST] shortcode or you can create a new post/page with the [ESPRESSO_MOVIE_TABLE] shortcode on it. That will display the movie list style.
The custom files addon isn’t recommended for those that dont like to touch code as its more of a starting point to create something rather than drop in code, but if you do have any more questions feel free to ask away, thats what we are here for.

Hi,
OK, so the format for the shortcode is:
[ESPRESSO_MOVIE_TABLE category_id=”acategory-1356706465″ max_days=”30″ qty=”1″]
Note that the category_id must be the unique identifier, not the name.
I wasnt aware of this but there is an update that needs to be applied.
on line 35 of the movie_list template replace:
ob_start();
espresso_get_movie_tabe($sql);
$content = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $content;
with
espresso_get_movie_tabe($sql);
I’ll get the devs to look at updating that.
The table that will appear will look like this. If you need it to look different you will need to look at changing the php code. As mentioned earlier, the custom files add on is to be used more as a base than a drop in option.

Hi,
Unfortunately not. This particular shortcode requires the category. I would look at using the [ESPRESSO_TABLE] shortcode instead if you want all the events listed

Thanks
Nuno

Something like this? http://d.pr/i/VOnf
If so you will need to edit the espresso_table.php – what I did was to comment out the PHP for the titles and for the extra columns like the date etc – have a look here for the example http://pastebin.com/PqwfWA8B

Hi,
That will be down to either removing the extra columns that I left in or changing the CSS (the themes) to stop the table from having a border
your theme currently has the css on line 502
.entry table td {
padding: 6px 0 3px 10px;
border: 1px solid #E6E6E6;
}
so removing the border their will do it

Hi,
I can certainly give you some pointers.
Most CSS changes will go in the themes style.css file at the bottom. This can be found in WordPress via the menu Appearance > Editor. The first file that comes up is the style.css.
You can also use a plugin such as http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/my-custom-css/ to add custom css without touching the theme files.
One thing I noticed is that your table is wrapped in “ tags which is causing an inability to style the table correctly, so you will need to check your code and remove them, otherwise you will only get frustrated when nothing changes.
The underline is best created by targeting the tags and adding a bottom-border to it. Something like:
.espresso-table tr {
border-bottom: black thin solid;
}
You can google CSS and find a lot of resources on learning it, for example http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp
Hope that helps!

Hi,
We can’t really style the theme for you, if you need a web designer/developer you can post something on the jobs board. Otherwise the link I provided does have information regarding styling fonts.
