Hi Modern Tribe,<\/p>\n

I am messing around with our site and the new filter bar, and I was wondering how I could use PHP to display my event categories (and other attributes) the way you do in your filter bar?<\/p>\n

What I’d like to do is generate something which looks like this for all categories I have:<\/p>\n

<ul>\n<li class="[ClassOfCategory]"><label style="color: [ColorOfCategory];"><input type="checkbox" value="[ValueOfCategory]"  checked='checked' name="tribe_eventcategory[]" data-slug="[SlugOfCategory]" \/>[NameOfCategory]<\/label><\/li>\n...\n<\/ul><\/code><\/pre>\n
I’m pretty good with PHP, but I do not know which functions or variables I should be calling in order to develop a list in this manner. Could you please give me any assistance you can? I would appreciate it.<\/p>\n
Also, I would like to add that I plan on inserting this in a popup area outside the main content of the web page. I should also add that I have the code working, but the list is hard-coded. It’s just a matter of making it populate dynamically which I find difficult. I understand the logic, but I don’t know your variable names or how to call your functions.<\/p>\n
Thanks!
