Repeating Events

    Hi there,

    We run training courses each of which have multiple dates they run.
    We have a landing page which lists upcoming courses (which works fine),

    However, on our site, we have individual landing pages for each course and want to bring back just one course (event) and all it’s repeating dates to click through to eventbrite to book. Not sure if each course can have a category set and can send in a category to bring them back as related events. I can’t seen within the eventbrite event management how/where to setup categories and assign to an event to group them this way.

    Would really love some help here.

    Thanks!!

    Hi ilyacreative,

    Hm, that’s a tough one. The API handles all repeating events within the flow of events where they occur, so each event in a series has no real identifier that ties them together at the event level.

    There is an endpoint called series which may help you, but it’s not officially supported by this plugin. You can hack it in yourself though by adding it here.

    Hey Automattic,

    Thanks so much for getting back to me.
    I’m kind of new to some of this, I’ve added this line as an endpoint to the plugin..

    $this->set_endpoint( ‘event_series’, self::API_BASE . ‘series/’, ‘GET’ );

    Just checking how I call this using the eventbrite_query you have there now?
    Do you mind giving me a bit of an example?

    This is one of the events I’m trying to do this for:

    Thanks so much once again,
    ilya.

    Hey again…

    Been trying but can’t seem to get this happening.
    I have 12 events, and each of these events has multiple dates (repeating).
    I seem to only ever get 12 back from the query – should be well over 20 coming back as there are all the multiple dates which I think you mention come back as seperate events.

    If we get this full list of all events. I can do some string filtering to then break up the list as needed.

    I’m not getting this full list though, so just checking what call should ensure this too?

    Thanks again,
    ilya.

    Hi Ilya,

    You have a couple of options. One is to extend the Eventbrite_Query class, since as-is it only supports the existing endpoints. You could also just use the lower-level functions with your added endpoint, see the Eventbrite_Manager class (so, something like eventbrite()->request()) or, even deeper, the Eventbrite_API class. Note that the manager class will need additional work for the validation to pass.

    Really, this should all be better handled with filters in the plugin. We’ve opened an issue, but have no ETA at all (further development of this plugin is not high priority at this time). Hope this helps.
