Events manager – next categories

Hi,

Haven’t tested this but it should work ??

Try using this code snippet as your starting point:
https://pastebin.com/YHUAngC0

Paste it into the functions.php file of your theme. To make it skip over the first (current) event change the part of the code that says

'limit'=>3,

to

'limit'=>1,3,

Thank you so much for the reply, I have applied that code to my functions and it works to set it to 3 only but I am still getting the current show as an option, below is a link to a selected show and the same show is appearing at the bottom?

Did you change the limit parameter to 1,3 as Angelo indicated?

If so, and it still doesn’t work, please paste your code so we can see.

Thanks

Hi Phil Below is the code I pasted in with 1,3 update. The plan is to have the next three events of that category if there are any but not including the current event, thanks for your help.

/*
This snippet will override default #_CATEGORYNEXTEVENTS placeholder by adding additional search attributes particularly limiting the events list to 3 under single category page.
*/
add_filter('em_category_output_placeholder','my_em_placeholder_mod',1,3);
function my_em_placeholder_mod($replace, $EM_Category, $result){
	switch( $result ){
	case '#_CATEGORYNEXTEVENTS':
		$events = EM_Events::get( array('category'=>$EM_Category->term_id, 'scope'=>'future', 'limit'=>1,3, 'order' => 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'event_name') );
		if ( count($events) > 0 ){
			$replace = get_option('dbem_category_event_list_item_header_format');
			foreach($events as $event){
				$replace .= $event->output(get_option('dbem_category_event_list_item_format'));
			}
			$replace .= get_option('dbem_category_event_list_item_footer_format');
		} else {
			$replace = get_option('dbem_category_no_events_message');
		}
		break;
	}
	return $replace;
}

Okay, apologies but the suggestion was slightly incorrect.

Try this instead, which uses the offset argument:

/*

*/
add_filter('em_category_output_placeholder','my_em_placeholder_mod',1,3);
function my_em_placeholder_mod($replace, $EM_Category, $result){
	switch( $result ){
	case '#_CATEGORYNEXTEVENTS':
		$events = EM_Events::get( array('category'=>$EM_Category->term_id, 'scope'=>'future', 'limit'=>1, 'offset'=>1, 'order' => 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'event_name') );
		if ( count($events) > 0 ){
			$replace = get_option('dbem_category_event_list_item_header_format');
			foreach($events as $event){
				$replace .= $event->output(get_option('dbem_category_event_list_item_format'));
			}
			$replace .= get_option('dbem_category_event_list_item_footer_format');
		} else {
			$replace = get_option('dbem_category_no_events_message');
		}
		break;
	}
	return $replace;
}

Cheers

That works! thank you for your help
