    Hello,

    how can I build a shortcode that could display a list of events by category ID ?

    The goal is :
    in a single event page, I want to display a list of the other events witch belongs to the same category as the active event
    the shortcode would use the ID of the category, to display the liste with event-name and event-dates.

    is it possible ?
    or is there another way to do that ?

    you can try to use shortcode [events_list limit=10 pagination=1 category=”X”] where X is the events category id

    Hello,

    I put that in my single event format textarea

    [events_list limit=50 pagination=1 category="#_CATEGORYID"]? #_EVENTDATES - #_EVENTLINK<br />[/events_list]

    I have 3 other events in the same category.
    That shortcode display 4 times the same event as the one is display in the page.

    This shortcode display 10 times the same event as which is display
    [events_list limit=50 pagination=1 category="#_EVENTCATEGORIES"]? #_EVENTDATES - #_EVENTLINK<br />[/events_list]

    sorry I’m afraid that this will not work properly under formatting > events settings however can I know what is your purpose of adding the events list shortcode inside the events list formatting ?

    because the layout plans to also propose a list of other events in the same categories that might interest visitors.

    I find a solution using #_CATEGORYALLEVENTS
