Event Search pre-defined filter

[Adnan Akbas]

Hi,

what I would like to achieve is to pre-define category in event searches:

Something like this:

[event_search event_category=”music” filters=”country”]

So, in this case, when searched, only events in category music for the selected country should be listed.
I don’t want to show category filter to the visitors.

Any ideas?

Hi Adnan,

That should pre-set the event category to music, to remove the filters you can use the filters attribute to list the ones you do want: http://docs.wp-event-organiser.com/shortcodes/event-search/

Hi Stephen,

This example shortcode is not working.
I think “event_category” attribute does not exist for event_search shortcode.

Hi Adnan,

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you, but try:

[event_search filters="event_category,state" event-category="music"]

Strictly speaking shorcode attributes shouldn’t contain a hyphen (which is why the eo_events shortcode uses event_category instead), but this does work. The only thing I have noted is that the select does not reflect the currency choice.

Hi Stephen,

this works for me.

Thank you.
