Event-list shortcode to include Organiser (WP Username) linking to their Website

[Vicki Taylor]

I’ve started managing a website long using Event Organiser, but with manually maintained course lists. I’m working on replacing those with shortcode-generated lists.

The hand-made lists always include the course convener (%event_organiser%) name linked to their bio URL so I want to replicate that.

As alluded to here – https://wp-event-organiser.com/forums/reply/23950/ – in WordPress Users data there is an optional Website field. Perfect! But I’m not very code-clue-ful, so I need step-by-step advice to get the User’s Website value into my list shortcode.

So far I have this: [eo_events event_category="introduction-course" showpastevents="false"]<a href="%event_url%">%event_title%</a>&nbsp; %start{jS M}% - %end{jS M Y}% led by <a href="%but-I-need-Users-Website-value-in-here%">%event_organiser%</a>[/eo_events]

I’m amazed there isn’t already a shortcode to make this straightforward! What’s the name of this plugin?!

Anyway, I really hope someone can advise me!

Thanking you in anticipation! Vicki

Hi Vicki,

I’ve added %event_organiser_url% – please update to 3.12.0 and then try:

[eo_events event_category="introduction-course" showpastevents="false"]<a href="%event_url%">%event_title%</a>&nbsp; %start{jS M}% - %end{jS M Y}% led by <a href="%event_organiser_url%">%event_organiser%</a>[/eo_events]
