ECHO LIST OF ALL ECP EVENT TITLES BY CATEGORY?

[tradingbo]

Hi ECP,

Love the plugin and you guys have been super helpful so far with a few other issues so v curious to know if you can help me with this idea.. Seems like would be useful to other users also.

I’m trying to create a billboard like dropdown that will simply list the titles and dates in an array for all events in the ‘Upcoming Event’ category.

I’ve achieved this with WP Posts using

	<ul>
			
			 <?php
 
	  // The Query
	  query_posts( array ( 'category_name' => 'Latest-News', 'posts_per_page' => -1 ) );
 
	  // The Loop
	 while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
	    <li>
	  	<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
	  </li>
 
	  <?php endwhile;
 
	  // Reset Query
	  wp_reset_query();
 
	  ?>
			
			
		</ul>	

Struggling to make it work for Custom Post types (Events) however, can you help me with the PHP we would need to implement this?

Many Thanks!

Hi M!

We can’t go into too much depth with customizations requiring custom code, but perhaps this example will help get you started:

$events = tribe_get_events( array(
	'tax_query' => array(
		array(
			'taxonomy' => Tribe__Events__Main::TAXONOMY,
			'field'    => 'slug',
			'terms'    => 'parties',
		)
	)
) );

The following knowledgebase article might also be of interest:

theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-tribe_get_events

Thanks and good luck!

Hi Barry,

That’s brilliant, thank you! Should be enough to work from.

Is there perhaps a link you can provide with a list of all the ECP specific filters that can be called?

I.e tribe_get_events , tribe_get_organizer

Many Thanks!

Hi!

All of our functions are listed here:

theeventscalendar.com/functions

We do hope to build on this and include filters and other hooks, but for the time being that’s probably the best resource (and you can “drill down” by plugin, so for example you can focus in on Events Calendar PRO functions and ignore the rest).

Brilliant, thanks for the quick response!

Happy to help 🙂
