   Hello,

   I'm playing around with dedicated public event forms. Really easy !!!
   So for this I customise the templates in my theme.

   Just a trick for others that can help a lot :
   As I want to have specific forms, I use this trick to deploy differents templates.

   For example, I create in <mytheme> and plugins subdir, the following file:
   event-editor.php.

   It contains (pseudo code):

   <?php
   if (mycriteria === 'criteria1') {
   get_template_part('mycriteria','event-editor');
   } else {
   get_template_part('othercriteria','event-editor');
   }
   ?>

   And in my thep directory I created (from original event-editor.php) 2 files called mycriteria-event-editor.php and othercriteria-event-editor.php. Like this I can use many event templates forms.

   Here's for the trick but my problem concerns category selectboxes. I want, for one of my templates, list only all sub categories of a specific category. How can I do this in my temptates ?

   Thanks for your help!

   Hi,

   try template file at wp-content/plugins/events-manager/templates/forms/event/categories-public.php

   to use templates: http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/using-template-files/

   also, you can see some sample snippet here - http://pastebin.com/uLEak8Q5

   Thanks agelonwl,

   I've just to add the required term for my parent category here:

   $categories = EM_Categories::get(array('orderby'=>'name','hide_empty'=>0));

   Right and it should do the trick ?

   you probably want to look at templates/forms/event/public-categories.php and edit that instead, youd tweak the $args_em line

   Done !!! Thanks

   My needs was to list all sub categories of en event cat.

   In my specific template, I change only the EM_Categories call with

   $categories = EM_Categories::get(array('orderby'=>'name','hide_empty'=>0,'child_of'=>get_term_by('slug', MY_SLUG, EM_TAXONOMY_CATEGORY)->term_id));`

   And all is working as expected.
