This is great. Helped me out a lot.
I’ve added support for “reselecting the chosen item in the dropdown” by adding some code to set the “selected” attribute too….
Modified get_terms_dropdown function below.
Set
'$search_values['cat'] = 'your chosen items slug'

before calling the function.

function get_terms_dropdown($taxonomies, $args)
{
    global $search_values;

    $myterms = get_terms($taxonomies, $args);
    $output = "";
    foreach ($myterms as $term) {
        $root_url = get_bloginfo('url');
        $term_taxonomy = $term->taxonomy;
        $term_slug = $term->slug;
        $term_name = $term->name;
        $value = $term->term_id;
        if ($search_values['cat'] == $term->slug) {
            $selected = 'selected="selected" ';
        } else {
            $selected = '';
        }
        $output .= "<option value='" . $value . "' " . $selected . ">" . $term_name . "</option>";
    }

    return $output;
}

OK. It turns out that the “bookings” filter only works if you want to filter out the events WITHOUT bookings. ie you can either have all events (bookings=0) or you can have events which allow bookings (bookings=1).

How do I get “events which don’t allow bookings” ?

I haven’t really done much with shortcodes at all in WordPress. I was hoping for some sample PHP code to manipulate “the loop”. I think I’ve managed to work it out, using a combination of EM_Events:: and EM_Event.

It would be really nice if any of the tutorials touched on how to treat Events “like Posts”, and the properties/functions available for Events and what they’re called.
I’m lucky in that I have PHPStorm. I was able to trace the functions and use the structure-viewer to find the applicable properties and functions I needed. Couldn’t find any in examples though.

I’m a fairly new PHP / WordPress developer and at the moment I don’t see an easy way of integrating PHP code and shortcode functionality…..Is there?
