Theming listview to match category

[Svend]

Hi Brook,

I have implemented your code in our custom widget code. However, it does not provide the information I needed.

I have created a category under Events and an identical category under Post. Then I run a code where I get the Post category; however no matter what category reference (e.g, “Adobe Connect” or “adobe-connect”) I use I do not get the result needed. Is there something I am missing in order to make the do_shortcode working?

<CODE>
// WIDGET: Display related courses
class displayrelatedcourses extends WP_Widget {
function __construct() {
parent::__construct(
// Base ID of your widget
'displayrelatedcourses',
// Widget name will appear in UI
__('Widget - Display Related Courses', 'wpb_widget_domain'),
// Widget description
array( 'description' => __( 'Custom widget displaying related courses', 'wpb_widget_domain' ), )
);
}

// Creating widget front-end
public function widget( $args, $instance ) {
// ****** TITLE OF WIDGET ******
$title = apply_filters( 'widget_title', $instance['title'] );
// before and after widget arguments are defined by themes
echo $args['before_widget'];
if ( ! empty( $title ) )
echo $args['before_title'] . $title . $args['after_title'];

// ****** CONTENT ******
$cat_difficulty = array(); 
foreach((get_the_category()) as $childcat) {
// Post category ID for 'Events' equals 54
if (cat_is_ancestor_of(54, $childcat)) {
do_shortcode('[tribe_events_list category="'.$childcat->cat_name.'"]');
}
}
echo $args['after_widget'];
}
} // WIDGET END

// Register and load the widget
function wpb_load_widget() {
	register_widget( 'displayrelatedcourses' );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'wpb_load_widget' );
</CODE>

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out. The features you are trying to implement are possible, but would unfortunately require many code customizations to implement 🙁

To implement the features you describe, you would have to write that custom code or hire a professional developer to do it for you. We have a list of great developers here → http://m.tri.be/18k1 (and have no affiliation with any of these folks—they’re simply some well-respected names in the community that we’ve compiled to share in situations like this one).

We cannot help with code customizing, so I will close this thread for now.

Best of luck with your custom development.

Sincerely,
George
