Hi,
Thanks for the interest in the Events Calendar Pro. I can answer your questions.
1. is it possible to create on main menu direct link to a category event list ? For exemple, menu with home / event cat.1 / event cat2 / event cat3 / contact us etc ?
Yes it is possible to create a menu link to a category in the Events Calendar.
So if you have a category called Convention this would be the url:
yoursite.com/events/category/convention/
You could then put that as a custom link in your menu and that will show the Events Views for events in that category.
2. event is it considered as post ? I mean, I will implement a slideshow on my homepage, and I’d like this slideshow showing the 10 latest events created (or the soonest next 10, still don’t know…). Is there any way to do that ? do you have already some plugin doing it or do we have to adapt it ?
A Event is a custom post type, so it is close to being a post, but it is separate. We do not have a slideshow plugin that does as you would like, but if one works with custom post types you maybe to get it working. We are unable to provide support with customizations, but maybe can answer a question or two about it.
Let me know if you have any follow up questions.
Thanks
