Displaying events as well as other posts on homepage

    Hi,

    I’m trying to display all post types on my home page but am struggling when it comes to my events.

    I have used query posts but that is duplicating events over and over. I can see what I have done wrong – I am using [events_list] and I assuming that is creating a double loop.

    <?php query_posts( array(
     		'post_type' => array( 'post', 'event' ),
     		'showposts' => 8 )
     		); ?>

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

		<?php if ( 'post' == get_post_type()  ) : ?>
                    	<article class="newsPost bit-4">
                    		<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?> "><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
                            <p><?php echo get_excerpt(); ?></p>
                            <p class="postedOn"><?php ccmac_posted_on(); ?></p>
                        </article>
		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if ( 'event' == get_post_type()  ) : ?>
			<?php echo do_shortcode( '[events_list]

			<article class="bit-4 #_CATEGORYNAME">
				<h1 class="eventListTitle">#_EVENTLINK</h1>
				<p>#_EVENTEXCERPT{12,...} <a href="#_EVENTURL">Event details</a></p>
				<data class="date" data-time="#{Y-m-d}">#_{dS F} #@_{- dS F} #_{Y}</data>
			</article>

			[/events_list]' ); ?>
		<?php endif; ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

    Can anyone suggest an alternative?

    hi,

    this works for other users,

    <?php
$my_query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'event',  'event-categories' => 'my-category-slug-name' ) );
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
?>
<div>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<div class="excerpt"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>

    Thanks Angelo,
    I removed the [events_list] and did this…

    <?php if ( 'event' == get_post_type()  ) : ?>

			<article class="bit-4 #_CATEGORYNAME">
				<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
				<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
				<data class="date" data-time="#{Y-m-d}">#_{dS F} #@_{- dS F} #_{Y}</data>
			</article>

		<?php endif; ?>

    My new question is, how do I display the date of my event?

    #{Y-m-d}">#_{dS F} #@_{- dS F}

    Thanks

    Could I use –

    <?php $EM_Event->output('#{Y-m-d}">#_{dS F} #@_{- dS F}') ?>

    ??

    If you’re using the code Angelo gave you can use the standard WordPress the_date function with the formatting you want:

    Hi caimin_nwl,

    I don’t mean the date that the post was published, I mean the date that the event occurs.

    I would guess that this is a custom field within the Events Manager plugin but I don’t know how to display it in a normal loop. If you use the plugin syntax it’s #_EVENTDATES or in may case, #_{dS F} #@_{- dS F} as I have a custom structure.

    Sorry, yes those examples should work fine.

    Thanks.

    Final code – 

    <?php if ( 'event' == get_post_type()  ) : ?>

             <?php global $post;
		$EM_Event = em_get_event($post->ID, 'post_id'); ?>

		<article class="newsPost bit-4 <?php echo $EM_Event->output('#_CATEGORYNAME'); ?>">
                    	<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?> "><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
                        <p><?php echo get_excerpt(); ?></p>
                         <p><?php echo $EM_Event->output('#_{dS F} #@_{- dS F}'); ?></p>
                 </article>

<?php endif; ?>
