Select Events by Author

[Frank Herget]

Hi there, is there any possibility to easily get a calendar or event list just for one author? I.e. if I post as a registered user with a certain username, can this be filtered?

Thanks in advance, best Frank

Hi Frank,

This isn’t currently possible for the calendar. However I’ll look into this for a future update.

As for the event list shortcode, you can do:

[eo_events author="{ID}"]

where ID is replaced by the ID of the user. Alternatively you can use author_name instead of author to use the author’s nicename.

Hi Stephen,

sounds great – meanwhile I managed it to get me the data sorted by author by writing an own function. Yet this update would be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot for pointing out the solution on the shortcode 🙂

keep up the good work,
cheers

Just an update to say that as of Event Organiser 2.12.0 (to be released shortly) you can do the following:

[eo_fullcalendar author=<user-id>]

or

[eo_fullcalendar author_name=<user-nicename>]

to display a calendar of a particular user’s events.

Hello Stephen,

thanks a bunch for the update 😉 Comes in handy.

Looks great,

I cannot seem to have it show the logged-in user events, does the author have to be hardcoded?

Thanks
Vlad

That is the case currently. There are two ways around this. Define a shortcode which just a wrapper for [eo_fullcalendar], but sets the author ID as appropriate.

Alternatively (and perhaps preferably) is to use the shortcode_atts_* filter (WP 3.6.0+):

 add_filter( 'shortcode_atts_eo_fullcalendar', 'my_fullcalendar_filter', 10, 3 );
 function my_fullcalendar_filter( $atts, $defaults, $provided_atts ){

     //If you preferred, you could check $provided_atts['author'] for a 
     //placeholder, e.g. %current_user_id% and replace that with the current 
     //user ID. Then do [eo_fullcalendar author=%current_user_id%]
     if( is_user_logged_in() ){
           $atts['author'] = get_current_user_id();
     }

     return $atts;
 }

I won’t rule out supporting this in a future update, but the above example shouldn’t cause any problems should a current user placeholder be introduced.

Thanks Stephen, I used [eo_fullcalendar author=%current_user_id%] shortcode and it worked.

Just one small clarification:

The snippet you inserted above, should It be added to the functions.php from the EO package?

Thanks
Vlad

[Stephen Harris]

No, ideally a utility package, but a theme’s functions.php will work. (See this page for details).

[Vladislav Gherciu]

Thanks Stephen, again very helpful =]

Managed to sort this one out
