multiple events-list pages with different search form categories

(@bettercallsaul)

I want to create multiple events-list pages.

I’ve already made an events-list page through the settings page with ‘events_search_form’ enabled.

<?php
/*
Template Name: FindFreeConsultPersonal
// Template for eventslist with events search form for personal topics
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php
global $EM_Event; // or use global $post
?>	 

<h1 class="title">Title</h1>                  															

<div class="search-results-events">									

<div id="main">
<?php
the_content();
?>
</div><!-- /#main -->

</div><!-- /.search-results-events -->					

<?php get_footer(); ?>

This worked fine for me.

Now, i want to create a separate page where business topics are listed, and certain topics in the search form are excluded.

<?php
/*
Template Name: FindFreeConsultBusiness
// Template for eventslist with events search form for business topics
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php
global $EM_Event; // or use global $post
?>	 

<h1 class="title">Title</h1>                  															

<div class="search-results-events">									

<div id="main">
<?php
the_content();
?>
</div><!-- /#main -->

</div><!-- /.search-results-events -->					

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I’ve modified the category search a bit.

<!-- START Category Search -->
[...]
<?php
if ( is_page('personal')) {
$selected = !empty($_REQUEST['category']) ? $_REQUEST['category'] : 0;
EM_Object::ms_global_switch(); //in case in global tables mode of MultiSite, grabs main site categories, if not using MS global, nothing happens
wp_dropdown_categories(array( 'exclude'=>'1,2,3,4', 'hide_empty' => 0, '));
EM_Object::ms_global_switch_back(); //if switched above, switch back
}
else {

if ( is_page('business')) {
wp_dropdown_categories(array( 'exclude'=>'5,6,7,8', 'hide_empty' => 0, ); .......
}

}
?>
</div>
<!-- END Category Search -->

have you tried to use shortcode [event_search_form] or [events_list] ? or create a new shortcode instead which uses your custom templates.

e.g.
```
em_locate_template('templates/search/category-1.php',true)
```

I tried the [events_list], or better [events_list_grouped].
```
<?php
/*
Template Name: FindFreeConsultBusiness
// Template for eventslist with events search form for business topics
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php
global $EM_Event; // or use global $post
?>
<h1 class="title">Title</h1>
<div class="search-results-events">
<div id="main">
<?php
echo do_shortcode('[event_search_form]');
?>
<?php
echo do_shortcode('[events_list_grouped]');
?>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
```
The list will be outputted correctly.

However, your suggested shortcode [event_search_form], make the searchform not appear.
When using this code it got a php warning:
```
Warning: array_merge(): Argument #2 is not an array in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\events-manager\em-template-tags.php on line 303
```
When I use [location_search_form] the form will appear. But when i want to do a search it will re-direct to my homepage with no search result.
