Limit category events

try this snippet – https://pastebin.com/MhkCLJkE

replace location with category

Thanks a lot agelonwl, this works like a charm. Hope this could be implemented in next releases for doing it from Events Manager Options (Format).

Do You have any idea about istead of a list, showing the events thumb in grid with its title upside?

Thanks again for your time!

Hi again agelonwl

After trying a few thing, with this placeholder in Single Event page

<h3>Other events in #_CATEGORYLINK</h3>
#_CATEGORYNEXTEVENTS

And with the code You gave me (changing location for category) something is happening: when there is not any future event in the current event category, the code gets just the future events in any category instead of showing the no events message…. Any idea?

This is the code I put in functions.php https://pastebin.com/m0dg79DV

in your snippet, try to change

$events = EM_Events::get( array('category'=>$EM_category->category_id, 'scope'=>'future', 'limit'=>7) );

to

$events = EM_Events::get( array('category'=>$EM_category->term_id, 'scope'=>'future', 'limit'=>7) );

I have made the change and the same result, You can see it here.

Thanks for your time!

UPDATE

I try this https://pastebin.com/k3dhn5N7 and now is working….buuut the code just takes the first category and if the event belongs to one or more just shows the events related with the first.

Another thing is: Is it possible doesn’t show the current event and just the other events in that category(ies)?

Thanks again for your time!

1. actually, did quite get what you mean?
2. yes, you can try other scopes at https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/event-search-attributes/ or create your own scopes at https://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/create-your-own-event-scope/

What I meant is than if “Event X” belongs to “category A” and “Category B” at the same time, the related events showed for that event are just this in “Category A” instead of showing related events for “Category A” and “Category B” even when there are other events for “Category B”

You can see it here and here

Regards.

I think your problem is that you’re searching for one term id, you probably want to create different lists for each category,

i.e. loop $EM_Event->get_categories()->categories

and then for each $EM_Category do something liks $EM_Category->output('#_CATEGORYNEXTEVENTS')

OR search multiple categories, for example

echo EM_Events::output(array('category'=>'1,2,3'));
