[Plugin: Events Manager] Sending search request to Events Page from different site

  • Hi,

    I’m hoping someone will be able to give me some advice on this.

    I’m using the Events Manager to list markets. https://www.marketangel.com.au
    I am wanting have a button on my blog for a particular market that when the button is clicked it will then link to the events page on my main website, listing only those markets for that particular market name.

    So for example if I had a button on my blog for Sunny Coast Markets, I would want it to then display the events page on the website listing only the upcoming markets for Sunny Coast Markets when the button is clicked.

    I guess I’d be able to do it with shortcodes if it was a separate page on the website, but I’m not sure how to do it from a separate website.

    Hopefully I’ve made myself clear, looking forward to any advice.

    Thanks
    Kat

  • Hi,

    you could use shortcodes from this site https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/shortcodes/ then pass request using some PHP codes.

    Thanks,
    I don’t know anything about PHP. Are you able to tell me how to pass the request using PHP codes? Or how I would go about finding out?

    Thanks.

    you could do soemthing like : yoursite.com/eventspage/?action=events_search&category=1

    Thanks Marcus.

    I’ve worked out the code I need to search the event name is https://marketangel.com.au/events?action=em-events-search&search=Lollipop%20Markets

    It does display the events screen and populates the ‘Search’ box with Lollipop Market but it doesn’t actaully execute the search.

    The same when searching for a category – the code I used is marketangel.com.au/events/?action=em-events-search&category=1
    Once again it displays the events page, populates the category with the correct category but doesn’t execture the search.

    Should it be able to execute the search using above codes? Or is it missing something?

    Thanks.

    Unfortunately it doesn’t Marcus.
    Any suggestions at to why it might not work for me?
    Or even search terms I could use in Google for further info?

    Thanks.

    maybe it’ll work in the beta/v5, I think v4 uses a wpnonce which v5 doesn’t.

    Ok, thanks Marcus. Do you have a guesstimate of when v5 will be released?

    Plugin Author Marcus (aka @msykes)

    the RC should be out today along with upgrade instructions, you could already upgrade to that (I consider it a stable release now), we’ll be redoing site docs in the meantime and will update officially once that’s ready (probably next week)

    Great to hear, let’s hope it fixes my problem – as well as all the other great things it looks like it is going to have.

    Hey Marcus, as I’m not a techie, what does RC mean?

    RC = Release Candidate
    An updated version of software that is going through its final testing period prior to an official release.

    Plugin Author Marcus (aka @msykes)

    (@netweblogic)

    exactly that ??

    I’ve upgraded to 5.0.42 and still having trouble getting this to work.

    I want to be able to search on the event name and display all events with that name.
    Any further suggestions as to the code that will get this to work?

    Thanks.

    maybe it doesn’t register get variables and only does this if post values are sent. don’t mind changing it in the future but for now you could try a form that submits the variabes via post to the search page.
