Embed calendar in page but only show one category

[Trevor]

Hi, I’m able to embed a calendar into a page template with tribe_calendar_grid(), but I need to edit it so the calendar only shows one category… is that possible?

[Rob]

It should be. Have you checked out our documentation at https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation, to see if that points you in the right direction? Let me know if not and I can get a dev to take a look.

Yep, been looking through the KB and FAQ… This is all it lists for that function. It doesn’t appear to offer a way to pass any variables (like the category).

I tried using:

set_query_var(‘eventCat’,6);
tribe_calendar_grid();

I’m thinking I need to modify the table.php file, but I can’t figure out the best way to do that, and I’m not sure how to override that file.

Alright, thanks for confirming. I’ll get Jonah to take a look this afternoon.

Hey Trevor,

You should be able to do this by editing table.php like you suspected. First make a duplicate copy and place in an ‘events’ folder in your theme if you don’t already have one. Then on line 20 modify:


$eventPosts = tribe_get_events(array( 'eventDisplay'=>'month' ));


to:


$eventPosts = tribe_get_events(array(
'eventDisplay'=>'month',
'tax_query'=>array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'tribe_events_cat',
'field' => 'id',
'terms' => 4,
'operator' => 'IN'
)
)
));


Where ‘4’ for terms is the ID of your event category you want to include.

Can I do the same in the table-mini?

[Jonah]

Yes, the same thing can be done in table-mini. Just make a copy of /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/table-mini.php and place in the ‘events’ folder in your theme. On line 12 is where tribe_get_events is called so just modify the parameters being passed in there and you’re good to go!

@Jonah Thanks Jonah! I’ve got another discussion opened, is really important for me, it is for a SEO purpose.

category in the slug

Thanks
