hey guys,

i designed a single page using php-code on it. now i want to display different event-categories depending on different user-roles and therefore i want to use shortcode from event-manager. but unfortunately it doesn’t work. could anybody help?

this is what i’ve got so far:
```
<?php
if ( user_role_check( 'd1' )):

   echo do_shortcode('[events_list category="8"]') ; 

 elseif ( user_role_check( 'd2' )): 

   echo do_shortcode('[events_list category="9"]');

 elseif... //and so on

 endif;
?>
```
cheers

p.s.: the user-roles are added by myself, so they aren’t standard – but this doesn’t seem to be the problem

Hi,

If you put

echo do_shortcode('[events_list category="8"]') ;

outside of the if statements does it work?

how about just

echo do_shortcode('[events_list]') ;

if not, then make sure you’re adding your code to the right place

i first tried this, to prove that the combination of the if statements work, and it does!
```
if ( user_role_check( 'd1' )):

   echo 'd1' ; 

 elseif ( user_role_check( 'd2' )): 

   echo 'd2';

  elseif ( user_role_check( 'h1' )):

    echo 'h1';

   elseif ( user_role_check( 'h2' )):

     echo 'h2';

   elseif ( user_role_check( 'admin' )):

      echo 'admin;

 endif;
```
now i tried it Marcus’ way and changed it to:
```
if ( user_role_check( 'd1' )):

   echo 'd1' ; 

 elseif ( user_role_check( 'd2' )): 

   echo 'd2';

  elseif ( user_role_check( 'h1' )):

    echo 'h1';

   elseif ( user_role_check( 'h2' )):

     echo 'h2';

   elseif ( user_role_check( 'admin' )):

      echo do_shortcode('[events_list]');

 endif;
```
and it doesn’t work. i just changed the admin position as i’m working as an admin and to minimize the potential error sources. i think the code is also positioned the right way.

any other ideas?

cheers

try

echo EM_Events::output();

that should definitely work… otherwise something else is going wrong

yes, it does work. but it doesn’t fulfill the need of showing a seperate category of events.

sorry, can you give us more details about this? eg. do you want it to group per category

i want to show a group of events that belongs to a certain event-category. for example users with role “h1” should only see events from category 8 and users with role “d2” should only see events from category 7 and so on.
so i need the code to only show events from a certain category.

hope that’s the information you need.

Hiya,

If you take a look at the output() function in the EM_Events class you will see a number of options you can provide as parameters, including specifying a category.

Thanks,
Phil

oh yeah!

this is how it works, thank you phil! instead of
echo do_shortcode('[events_list category="8"]') ;
i used
echo EM_Events::output( array('category'=>8)) ;

cheers
