Category Specific Events Calendar Pages

[Travis]

I am working on a site that has several different chapters/locations. I have setup each chapter/location as a category and need to show an event list for each. I looked into the easy solution of making the menu items for each location direct to “…/events/category/location1”, but its not ideal from a formatting standpoint (e.g. I can’t customize the sidebar for each location).

It would be great to have a shortcode to place on each page with a category parameter, but I know that’s not available.

First question… would it be possible to write a shortcode function that would achieve this?

If the above is not feasible, would custom templates be my best option? If so, any pointers on how to go about it?’
Thanks!

Hey Travis. Thanks for the note. The plugin works by rewriting the content loops at this point, so shortcodes aren’t viable. As a result I would suggest taking the custom template / template tag approach, given the lack of shortcodes. Have you checked out our documentation page at https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation ? It’d definitely be the best starting point.
