ical-feed for every event category

Hi,

Using a child theme shouldn’t make any difference. This tutorial explains how to create custom templates that are upgrade-safe:
https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/using-template-files/

I copied the template ical.php to
html/wp-content/themes/mytheme-child/plugins/events-manager/templates/

I put these lines into ical.php

/* Get the category ID */
$uri=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$args=explode('/',$uri);
/* handling different permalinks */
if ($args[1]=='index.php') {
	$start_index_URI=2;
}else{
	$start_index_URI=1;
}
/* retrieve category ID from WP Events Manager DB */
if($args[$start_index_URI]=='events' && $args[$start_index_URI + 1]=='categories') {
	$cat_name=$args[$start_index_URI + 2];
	$cat_obj=get_term_by('name', $cat_name , 'event-categories');
	$cat_id=$cat_obj->term_id;
}

And I replaced the former line 13 with
$EM_Events = EM_Events::get(apply_filters('em_calendar_template_args',array( 'limit'=>get_option('dbem_ical_limit'), 'owner'=>false, 'orderby'=>'event_start_date', 'scope' => get_option('dbem_ical_scope'), 'category'=>$cat_id )) );

When I call https://example.com/events/categories/categoryname/events.ics I get an ical- feed with all events, instead of the events of that category. Do I call the wrong adress then?

I am interested in the answer to this. I have not made the changes but would like to be assured that this approach will still work…

Thank you!

It should still work fine.

@filz51 – Any luck getting this to work. I am trying to accomplish the same thing and I stuck.

@Tomjob – No, I let it be but if you find the clue, please tell here.
