put events in a table

[defaliz]

hello,
thanks a lot for your plugin…
i need to put events (title, date, venue…) in a php table of my own
is it possible ?
i think i need to do a loop (for or while ? ) in eo_events and place attributs %start% %venue%… in the table
is there another trick ?

thanks for your help

Hi Alain,

You can do one of three things:

• Create your own shortcode, and use eo_get_events() to retreve events and display them in a title.
• Create your own page template and use eo_get_events() as above
• Use the [eo_events] shortcode with a custom template for shortcode-event-list.php.

The first one is probably the best option.

i’ve done like on this page
http://departement-biologie.univ-evry.fr/even-test

but as you can see in row L1 there is all the list (events are in category L1, M1…)
i need first event of category L1 in the first row, second in the second and so on…
here is a piece of my table code :
maybe something that i don’t understand….

L1
[eo_events event_category=”L1″ ] %event_title%
%start{jS M Y}%
 %start{g:i:a}%
%event_venue% [/eo_events]

ok, works by modifying shortcode-event-list.php
but i don’t know how having the venue with the function :

return nothing… even if i use $id….

how can i do ?
thanks for your help

Looks like something got swallowed in the forum. If you’re trying to get the venue ID from the event:

 $venue_id = eo_get_venue( $event_id );

where $event_id is the (post) ID of the event. Although, in that template file, eo_get_venue() should work too.

[defaliz]

yes Stephen
i can read the id like in this page http://departement-biologie.univ-evry.fr/even-test

but i need the name of the venue
when i try in the loop i have 196 and 197
when i try
i have always 11, but not the name or description of the venue

regards

[defaliz]

ok i found the solution
i was using numeric ID but i have to use the name of the id (string character)
so to have the venue un my table :

that’s all !
thank a lot
Alain
