TreeTrail

Robswaimea,

Thank you for trying to help and for taking a look at my site. How were you able to see: https://dev.wilmingtontrailclub.org/wtc-event-print/ …if there’s no menu access to it? Do I have a security hole, that allowed you to the dashboard?

caimin_nwl,

You have identified my mistake …thank you for helping me. Somehow I must have entered [location_search_form ajax=1] under Events > Settings > Formatting > Events > Default event list format. I have now successfully replaced it with the desired placeholders, resulting in the actual event details!

Is it possible to make EM’s [category_events_list_group] (below) sort the categories by basic alpha? :
——–
function em_events_list_by_category(){
$EM_Categories = EM_Categories::get($args);
foreach( $EM_Categories as $EM_Category ){
echo “<h5>“.$EM_Category->name.”</h5>”;
echo do_shortcode(‘[events_list category=”‘.$EM_Category->term_id.'”]’);
}
}
add_shortcode(‘category_events_list_group’, ’em_events_list_by_category’);
——–

…if not, could you please suggest a PHP sorting example or online training?

Thank you so very much! ~April

caimin_nwl,

Thank you for clarifying about level of support. We are willing to pay for this type of support. Does any of the staff do this type of work outside of their main job? If you can point me in the some good direction, I’d really appreciate it.

Most urgently, yes the output of [category_events_list_group] is including “[location_search_form ajax=1]”, instead of the actual event details.

LITERALLY THIS:
WTC Volunteer Efforts
Event Event Details
[location_search_form ajax=1]

Thank you very much.

caimin_nwl, thank you very much for responding promptly. So if at minimum, I use only this:

PAGE:
[category_events_list_group]
#_CATEGORYNAME
#_EVENTDATES at #_EVENTTIMES: “#_EVENTNAME”
[/category_events_list_group]

ONE RESULT EXAMPLE:
WTC Volunteer Efforts
Event Event Details
[location_search_form ajax=1]

PROBLEM:
What do I need to do display the events, rather than: “[location_search_form ajax=1]”?

Regarding custom code to include other attributes or parameters, would an EMPro account include this type of more time intensive support?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

~April

angelo_nwl & Robswaimea,

Thank you so much for your prompt replies. Please allow me to try to better explain with 2 examples (with line spaces condensed):

1.
METHOD: EM Shortcodes

PROBLEM: Data & criteria are correct, but must group & order by EM Categories (preferably by term_group,term_order, but alpha category name would work too)
(great also would be child under parent categories, but if I can limit the category id’s, I can keep all “Hiking” in one page section & all “Cycling” in another, etc)

PAGE:
[events_list category=”43,44,45,46,48,49,50″ scope=future orderby=”event_start_date” order=”ASC”]
<p>
#_CATEGORYNAME
#_EVENTDATES at #_EVENTTIMES: “#_EVENTNAME”
</p>
[/events_list]

RESULTS:
Saturday Short Hikes
10/21/2017 at 10:00 am – 12:30 pm: “Middle Run Valley Natural Area”

Saturday Medium Hikes
10/21/2017 at 9:00 am – 1:00 pm: “White Clay Creek State Park”

Sunday Hikes

Wednesday Midweek Hikes
10/25/2017 at 9:00 am – 1:30 pm: “Cheslen Preserve, Chester County, PA”

Wednesday Miler Hikes
10/25/2017 at 9:00 am: “WCCSP, Nine Foot Road parking area”

Saturday Medium Hikes
10/28/2017 at 9:00 am – 1:00 pm: “Elk Neck State Park”

Saturday Medium Hikes
11/11/2017 at 9:00 am – 1:00 pm: “First State National Historical Park”

Saturday Medium Hikes
11/18/2017 at 9:00 am – 1:00 pm: “White Clay Creek State Park”

…like all “Saturday Medium Hikes” need to group together, with dates & event details under
———————————————————————————
2.
METHOD: Angelo’s 2013 Create Shortcode & EM Shortcodes

PROBLEM: It’s trying to group, but no events, & not solving above problems either

PHP:
<?php
function em_events_list_by_category(){
$EM_Categories = EM_Categories::get($args);
foreach( $EM_Categories as $EM_Category ){
echo “<h5>”.$EM_Category->name.”</h5>”;
echo do_shortcode(‘[events_list category=”‘.$EM_Category->term_id.'”]’);
}
}
add_shortcode(‘category_events_list_group’, ’em_events_list_by_category’);

PAGE:
[category_events_list_group=”43,44,45,46,48,49,50″ scope=future orderby=”event_start_date” order=”ASC”]
<p>
#_CATEGORYNAME
#_EVENTDATES at #_EVENTTIMES: “#_EVENTNAME”

[/category_events_list_group]

Hello,

Updating this post, to note that the problem was not with the weather plugin. I found that I had additional data saving problems. And today realized that when I migrated my site from local to live, the primary keys and auto increments settings were lost. I have restored all of these via PhpMyAdmin and now my known issues are solved.

Dear Sona,

Thank you very much for your willingness to try to solve this issue. I found that I had additional data saving problems.

@ravesnewhomes,

I also have been trying to get maps working in the “Events Manager” (EM) plugin for several days. It still works great on my local site, but not on my brand new live subdomain site. I realize that this is a very recent Google requirement and believe that I followed the Google Maps API key procedure accurately (several times). I now have an API key that directly in my browser, brings back a large function without error message. On the website, Google maps integration is enabled, but the EM “Google Maps API Browser Key” field will not save any key. Per plugin recommendations: set to a basic WordPress theme and deactivated all of the plugins, only reactivating “Events Manager”. Any help would be very greatly appreciated.
