[Plugin: Events Manager] Use has_term in Event List Item Format file

  • Resolved fadedpictures

    Hi,
    I’m using php files in the formats folder to customize my event layouts, so I have single_event_format.php and event_list_item_format.php inside the formats folder of my theme (themefolder/events-manager/formats).

    In singe_event_format.php I’m able to use the WP function has_term('workshops', 'event-categories') so I can tweak the format of the event based upon the category it’s in.

    However, I don’t seem to be able to use has_term() within event_list_item_format.php to do the same thing for the event list. I’m wondering if there is another way to do this? Or if I’m missing something.

    Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

    @aglonwl Yes i have. I’m using the format files. i think that using the templates (event-single.php and events-list.php) would primarily be to change the output from the database. The issue isn’t in querying the database for different results but in styling the output itself based on data that is already being output. Hopefully that clarifies things a bit.

    in your theme, path should be theme/plugins/events-manager/templates/events-list.php OR using em settings > formats/layouts > events format

    Sorry, I forgot the “plugins” folder in my first message when referencing the path, my fault. The path to my formats files is /theme/plugins/events-manager/formats/.

    Should I not be using the /formats folder to override the Settings > formats/layouts > events format for the list and single event display?

    the has_term() conditional works well in single_event_format.php.

    Thanks for your quick reply @aglonwl

    *wp-content/themes/yourthemedir/plugins/events-manager/formats/ would be used to replace formatting options in the settings page

    can I know what happens when you use has_term() in event list format? do you have a sample code?

    Here’s a link to the code https://pastebin.com/zW8wE5mJ.
    When executed the conditional code is just ignored, regardless of whether it’s true or not.

    Here is the code from the single_event_format.php page and this works as expected with the conditional code pulling based on category. https://pastebin.com/XexWZKdY

    Hope that helps, thank you for your help.

    the reason it doesn’t work in lists is because you’re not in the loop, has_term assumes you’re checking the current active post in the loop

    Assuming you have access to $EM_Event when looping your events, try:

    has_term($tag, 'event-categories', $EM_Event->post_id);

    Thanks Marcus, i’ll give that a go and let you know how it goes.

    Marcus, so not to be obtuse but I incorporated the $EM_Event code into the format page. Code here: https://pastebin.com/mFF5fYWV

    I tried global $EM_Event but still no go, am I doing something incorrectly? Should I be formatting in the template file not the format file?

    Thanks for your help.

    have you tried

    print_r($EM_Event);

    to make sure you have the right object there?

    I’d probably try the template file instead. Not sure $EM_Event is global by then.
