Wanting to display Event Registration Form first while using Category shortcode

Hello,

When I use a Single event shortcode like:
[SINGLEEVENT single_event_id=”datahere”]

The user will see the registration form requesting their Name, Email, Ect.

This is perfect.

Now if I use a Category event shortcode:
[EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY event_category_id=”datahere”]

The user will first see event data, such as the name of the event, date, and attendee limit.

This is not what I want. I desire to have the user always only see the registration form.

Although I’m using the category shortcode, I’ll only have one event ‘live’ per category. The reason I’ve done this, is because I desire to have multiple events show up only on their correlating pages. For example, all Seattle events only showing up on a Seattle page, with only 1 Seattle event running at a time. While also: all Boston events only showing up on a Boston page, with only 1 Boston event running at a time.

While both pages are only showing the registration form. Is this possible. I’m trying to meet my need the wrong way>

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi,

Well, if you only have one event per category and only require the registration form, why not use the [ESPRESSO_REG_FORM event_id=1] shortcode?

This will only show the form for that event. The only downside is you will need to manually update that page/post when it comes to swapping the events over, but it is literally just changing the ID number in the shortcode.

I was wondering if there was an easier way to have the page auto switch events displayed based on old event expiring, new event being created. Sounds like located a all new event ID’s and editing the shortcode is my available option. Thanks for your reply Dean!
