Need help to filter events by "has_bookings"

    Hi guys,
    I’ve tried using search as I figure this must be somewhere, but no luck in the last couple of hours.

    I want to split my events into two pages.
    On my first, public, page, I want to list all the events which I have created, but don’t control the booking for – ie “{ has_bookings }” would be false. (This is the shortcode for checking if an event allows booking or not….correct?)

    On my second page I want to list all the events where “{ has_bookings }” is true – ie logged-in users are allowed to book on these events.

    The plugin is so flexible I don’t really know where to start doing this. I’m guessing I need to replace the event-list and event-single templates (cpoy them to my theme directory and edit….) and turn off “formatting” in settings(?), but I’m really not sure and the default event_single template just says “show the event” and doesn’t appear to give me any control over whether a booking form appears or not.

    Help?

    TLDR; I want to show two lists of events. 1. Public events that can’t be booked. 2. Private events that CAN be booked. How do I do it?

  • hi,

    have you tried something like [events_list bookings=1] – https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/event-search-attributes/

    I haven’t really done much with shortcodes at all in WordPress. I was hoping for some sample PHP code to manipulate “the loop”. I think I’ve managed to work it out, using a combination of EM_Events:: and EM_Event.

    It would be really nice if any of the tutorials touched on how to treat Events “like Posts”, and the properties/functions available for Events and what they’re called.
    I’m lucky in that I have PHPStorm. I was able to trace the functions and use the structure-viewer to find the applicable properties and functions I needed. Couldn’t find any in examples though.

    I’m a fairly new PHP / WordPress developer and at the moment I don’t see an easy way of integrating PHP code and shortcode functionality…..Is there?

    OK. It turns out that the “bookings” filter only works if you want to filter out the events WITHOUT bookings. ie you can either have all events (bookings=0) or you can have events which allow bookings (bookings=1).

    How do I get “events which don’t allow bookings” ?

    hope to get to writing some docs on using WP_Query, but if using that, you’d search for the post type event and also filter by the custom field _event_rsvp using the same way you’d do it for any CPT

    Alternatively, add your own custom search attribute or even just add a custom conditional SQL statement (e.g. event_rsvp = 0), described here
