Pro Widget Shortcodes – How to include uncategorized events?

[Riccardo]

My calendar has some categories and I have to exclude one category from view; to achieve this I have to include all the categories I want to include except the one I want to exclude. The problem is that also uncategorized events must be included in the shortcode, but I don’t know what syntax to use!

BTW for the main calendar I am using pre_get_posts in my functions.php but it seems the filter is not being applied to the calendar widget

// Removes categories "staff" for non-teachers & non admin
$user = wp_get_current_user();
    if ( !in_array( 'teacher', (array) $user->roles ) && !current_user_can('administrator') ) {
        //The user has the "student" or "parent" role
       add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_events_category' );
    } 

function exclude_events_category( $query ) {

if ( $query->query_vars['eventDisplay'] == 'list' && 
     !is_tax(Tribe__Events__Main::TAXONOMY) || 
     $query->query_vars['eventDisplay'] == 'month' && 
     $query->query_vars['post_type'] == TribeEvents::POSTTYPE && 
     !is_tax(Tribe__Events__Main::TAXONOMY) && 
     empty( $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] ) ) {

	$query->set( 'tax_query', array(

		array(
			'taxonomy' => Tribe__Events__Main::TAXONOMY,
			'field' => 'slug',
			'terms' => array('staff'),
			'operator' => 'NOT IN'
		)
		)
	);
}
}

Hi Riccardo,

Thanks for reaching out.

I’m afraid listing events without any category with a shortcode is not possible at the moment. You would need to assign a generic category to those events and then you can include them in the list.
I hope this helps.

As for your second question, please allow me some time to look into the issue. I’ll get back to you on that soon. Thanks for your patience!

Cheers,
Andras

Hello again Riccardo,

Thanks for your patience.

If you want to apply the taxonomy query to all event views and widgets then re-write the conditional to the following:


if ( $query->query_vars['post_type'] == TribeEvents::POSTTYPE &&
!is_tax(Tribe__Events__Main::TAXONOMY) &&
empty( $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] ) ) {


 

Check this and let me know how that works out.

Cheers,
Andras

Works perfectly, thanks!

Since I have applied the suggested solution, when debugging is enabled I get the following warning in the page headers:

Notice: Undefined index: post_type in /home/ric965/public_html/me-about.me/wp-content/themes/eduma-child/functions.php on line 326

The offending line seems to be:

 if ( $query->query_vars['post_type'] == TribeEvents::POSTTYPE &&
        !is_tax(Tribe__Events__Main::TAXONOMY) &&
        empty( $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] ) ) {

Any idea?

Hello again,

Try this:


if ( isset($query->query_vars['post_type']) &&
$query->query_vars['post_type'] == TribeEvents::POSTTYPE &&
!is_tax(Tribe__Events__Main::TAXONOMY) &&
empty( $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] ) ) {


This should do the trick. Let me know the outcome.

Cheers,
Andras
