tribe_get_event_cat_slugs displays "Array"

[Anthony D’Arco]

I am trying to use this function, but whenever I use it returns the word “Array” I assume thats because I have two terms within for each event. Is there a way to do this? Here is the example:

I have one event with two categories 8th Grade and Math. I want to have an icon returned by adding the category slug to a div as a class. So I want:

Make sense?

Thank you,
Anthony

The following will output all category slugs assigned to specific event separated by a space (when wrapped in php tags).
`implode(‘ ‘,tribe_get_event_cat_slugs()); `
So, if your slugs were “8th-grade” and “math” then you could do:
<div class=”<?php implode(‘ ‘,tribe_get_event_cat_slugs()); ?>” >

rather that would be:
<div class=”<?php echo implode(‘ ‘,tribe_get_event_cat_slugs()); ?>”>

Hi Anthony, it does indeed return an array, so you could either iterate across that array and do what you like with each individual term slug, or else cause it to implode() into a single string.

Does that help?

Thanks Snorton (we must have posted in quick succession 🙂 ) … just a note for both that it’s generally best to share code via a service like Pastebin or Gist, rather than share it directly in the forum – for instance I think you may have tried to share code in your initial post, Anthony, but it was, unfortunately, stripped out.

This worked perfect! Thank you!

Excellent, thanks Anthony (and thanks for helping out Snorton) 🙂
