[Plugin: Events Manager] Display Events by Category

  • Hello folks

    I need a bit of help. I’m using v 5.1.4.1 and have the plugin close to where I want it for a client.

    They are an umbrella organisation for a range of music societies or clubs. Each Event (a concert, recital, etc.) is either assigned to the specific club or society category, All Events category or uncategorised (for anonymous submissions).

    Here’s the work-in-progress site address: Peterborough Music Making

    When a visitor opens an individual event they can see a ‘Location’ link (when clicked it gives details of the venue and a list of any Upcoming events at that venue). All well and good.

    On the same page the categories assigned to the event are shown:

    All Events (default for all events)
    Specific Music Club or Society Event

    When either ‘link’ is clicked I (and site visitors, too) would expect to see a list of All Events or a list of all forthcoming events for that specific music club.

    When the link is clicked a new page is generated but it is not populated with the required content – it remains blank.

    Any hits, tips, direct advise on how to resolve this would be most appreciated.

    I have trawled through the support forms, searched and searched but cannot see a ‘fix’ that directly resolves this issue.

    Thanks in advance if you can help.

  • My first guess is that you have that content blank in the admin.
    When you do click the link for the category, and you say its blank.
    It is truly a white / blank page?
    Is there any copy on the page at all?
    Something like “no events listed for this category?” or anything like that?
    First step in troubleshooting would be to search for that text in the plugin – to find what is trigger that message.
    If you really see nothing at all, then you have an empty template somewhere which you need to fill out.

    In the admin > Events > Settings
    [GENERAL] tab
    Click Event Categories.
    Do you have a page assigned?
    Is “Override with Formats?” set to yes
    What about List Limits (is it 10 or more – make sure its not “0”)

    Next click the [FORMATS/LAYOUTS] tab
    Expand the “Categories Format”
    What do you have in the “Categories Page” area?
    Do you have a header?
    Do you have “Categories list item format” filled out
    Do you have “Categories list footer format”
