Hi @dioni00 ,

1. I have installed and activated Gamipress-Youtube integration. I have also included a Youtube video using Gamipress add-on shortcode like you pointed out. However, upon watching the video, the user haven’t been awarded points even though points are set up in Gamipress settings.
2. I have Embed Plus YouTube WordPress Plugin, which is used to embed playlist of our Youtube channel on our website. Is there a way to integrate this gallery or playlist with Gamipress as well?

@joneiseman

I realized that I had overlooked the option to use a custom query filter while using the Query Loop Grid. My apologies for missing that.

Regarding my remaining requirement, I would like to have the ability to open the custom URL assigned to the event when clicking on the image or “Read More” button within the Posts Widget. Is there a way to accomplish this using Posts Widget itself? (Currently it is taking to the default event details page provided by Events Manager on click of either of the link)

That was awesome. It worked. It actually filtered out all the events and is showing future events.

On the right side I am using post title and calling shortcodes to get data of that post. However, here I am not able to filter out to get only future post titles. I don’t see a custom query filter for Post title widget. Any ideas how this can be accomplished?

I am using Elementor Posts widget. I do not see scope in it. Is there a work around or an alternative where I can include this?

@joneiseman

Thank you so much for suggesting Custom Event Field. That helped me achieve what I was looking for.
I have only one thing remaining. Currently it is showing all the posts, not just future posts. How can I only get future posts to display?

@embedplus

I did not make any tweaks. For now it is not coming, it went away by itself, but I am not confident that it will never appear.

@joneiseman

I was able to achieve what I wanted using the below code

add_shortcode('em-event-location-link', 'my_event_location_link');
function my_event_location_link(){
    $EM_Event = em_get_event(get_the_ID(), 'post_id');
    if (empty($EM_Event))
        return "";
    $ret = "";
    //if($EM_Event->location_id == 0) {
    if($EM_Event->event_location_type == "url") {
        $ret = 'Online';
    }
    else if ($EM_Event->has_location()) {
        $EM_Location = $EM_Event->get_location();       
        $location_type = $EM_Location->location_type;
        $link = esc_url($EM_Event->get_permalink());
        $ret = ''.esc_html($EM_Location->town) . ', ' . esc_html($EM_Location->state);
    }
    return $ret; 
}

add_shortcode('em-event-category-list', 'my_event_category_list');
function my_event_category_list()
{
    global $post;

    $event_categories = get_categories(array(
        'object_ids' => $post->ID,
        'taxonomy' => 'event-categories',
        'hide_empty' => false
    ));

    $category_names = array();
    foreach ($event_categories as $category) {
        $category_names[] = $category->name;
    }

    return implode(', ', $category_names);
}

Now I am facing an issue with Events Manager plugin itself.

I have no option to enter a custom URL when the Location type is selected as “Physical Location”. In the real world, there will be few events that are both in-person as well as online. But, it appears that Events Manager isn’t allowing to enter a custom URL for events with Location Type “Physical Location”

Please find the attached screenshots for URL text field with the Location type selected as “Physical Location” and with the Location type selected as “URL” respectively

@joneiseman

For some reason $EM_Event->location_name and in fact $EM_Event->location_type is also not working. It’s returning empty/null. The link ($EM_Event->get_permalink()) is working though.

I have Location Type set for all the events. For few it is set to “Phydical lcoation”, and for others it is set to “URL”.

I am really unable to figure out where is it going wrong.

@joneiseman

Thank you so much for guiding me through this.
First, I was trying to use shortcode for extracting the location. I just have to find if it is online and display “online” text. Else if it is an in-person event, I have to display the location name Ex:- Allen, TX

But I am unable to troubleshoot the bug in the shortcode provided. We are checking for

 if (!empty($post)) {

But where is $post coming from. At this point itself the code ended. I tried to comment out this if and it’s corresponding else statement and tried to execute the shortcode, but then it returned NULL for $EM_EVENT

$EM_Event = em_get_event(get_the_ID(), 'post_id');

@joneiseman

Thank you so much for the pointers. I have tried implementing this using Loop Grid Elementor. I am stuck at few places, with regard to styling as well as the way to extract venue, category. Could you please guide me through this?

The screenshot of the current layout I am able to achieve is in the following link:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XusGsDr1RlrsNwitEpcYrplERXggkNdE/view?usp=sharing

I want it to enhance to the design as below:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C9d8TKqRemoLXYIm2oG60hXVHEYvLt1R/view?usp=sharing

Changes that are yet to be made, which I am unable to achieve are:

1. I want to extract venue (where this event would be happening) and place it to the right of location icon.
2. I would like to display the category of the event to the right of the venue.
3. I have used text editor with post date in “d M” format, but I couldn’t format as desired. Especially the date of first event is showing differently from the rest. And for the rest of the dates, I want padding space between text and the box borders.
4. I would like to set the height of both the left and right cards to be of equal height. But I am unable to control. Especially the left one is getting controlled by the size of the image.

Kindly assist.

@joneiseman

Please find the attached screenshot for the design and requirement I am looking for. On the left side I want to have the immediate upcoming event, and on the right hand side I want the list of all upcoming events, almost similar to the design there. There is an option to scroll to next events also, if you observe there is left and right arrows. The “Learn More” link has to take to custom link. Each event has a different custom link, pointing to different website of the same organization.

By using the shortcode that EventsManager (free version) provided, I am not able to get that design.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C9d8TKqRemoLXYIm2oG60hXVHEYvLt1R/view?usp=sharing

I suppose it should be possible, but I am unable to find that secret key. In case, if it is not possible could you please suggest an alternative to get almost something like this?

@joneiseman

I tried with that before itself. But I don’t see any option to format it as shown in the screenshot in my earlier message. Also, the “Learn More” link should take to custom Url links, and not to event details page provided by the plugin. Any inputs on how to accomplish this?

Hi,

Thank you for the suggestion. Apologies for relying on your help. But I regret to say that I am the web developer ?? I felt like dying after seeing your reply, it made me feel like, “Why am I not understanding technology part in depth.. what is going on behind scenes..” :'(

@dearhive ,

Thank you very much for the reply. Let me respond in the order of priority for both the parties, hence I shall first address issues with flipbook pages.

3.?https://vidhyar3.sg-host.com/when-you-feel-hurt-by-others/?This page contains only one flipbook, and I absolutely do not know where from the other two flipbooks came from.

If you want you can check this by logging in as admin and “Edit with Elementor”. Please let me know how can I provide you with admin credentials.

And yes, https://vidhyar3.sg-host.com/stories is the page that has flipbook thumbnails and navigation to flipbook pages.

4. I am not using any Ajax to load/switch pages. The only place I used ajax popup is in a completely different page “home-1” which is not present anywhere in the site navigation now.

2. Yes, I too observed the site is sending too many requests. I have deactivated all the plugins and left only Elementor activated. Even in this scenario the home page (https://vidhyar3.sg-host.com/) sent 100+ requests and I have no clue why. And in a page https://vidhyar3.sg-host.com/classes where there is no content at all except for the header and footer, it took about 70 requests. If you have an idea on this, I request you to please throw some light.

@dearhive

1. Even though I have compression is enabled, activating dFlip on Home page where I am not using Flipbook is increasing page size by 6 MB, and increasing Load Time by about 3 seconds. Please do something on my website, so that this doesn’t happen. It is indeed very surprising that the same plugin on your website isn’t impacting negatively. What could be the reason?
