Display all event categories in sidebar

[John]

I am trying to display an unordered list of all the current categories within the plugin in my sidebar. I want to give the users another way to easily navigate through events by category. How can I do this?

[John]

I should probably elaborate on this a bit. I do have PHP experience, but I wanted to see if there is function with the plugin which mimics the core the_category function.

Hi John. Though by default it produces a definition list (rather than an unordered list), does tribe_meta_event_cats() come close to meeting your requirements?

I did this…

..but would like a solution that only lists the categories of upcoming events.

[Barry]

Right, so if you have Categories A, B, C and D and the upcoming events only happen to include Categories C and D those are the ones you want to list?

If think you’re going to have to get creative there. Definitely possible though. I put this snippet of SQL together, it might give you some ideas: http://pastebin.com/8QECQhjH (you may need to tweak it further to meet your specific requirements).

Exactly. This is great, Barry. Thanks!

[Barry]

No problem at all 🙂
