EDD Tickets and shortcodes

[Andy Fragen]

I’m trying to use an EDD shortcode to display only EDD Ticket items in a page.

The shortcode is as follows.

[downloads category="ticket" columns=3]

Nothing was showing and the solution was provided on EDD forums.

I’d like to be able to limit the display to only events whose end date has not passed and/or whose end date for ticket sales has not passed.

I think somehow refashioning the $query to pick up event end date and EDD’s meta_key might do the trick.

There is an inherent problem with the filter code. If you use the downloads shortcode in any other page then no downloads will display.

My solution was to create a link to the appropriate category for upcoming events. The user will then click on the event to purchase using the EDD Tickets interface.

I’m getting closer but I need to know if there’s a filter hook to only get upcoming events.

Here’s the solution. Create a new category of the download as “Expired”. Once the event is over, add that category to the download. Here’s the shortcode.

[downloads category="ticket" exclude_category="expired" columns="3" order="ASC" orderby="post_date"]
