Catagories and scope

    Hello,
    I am trying to use EM_categories to display a menu who only have the categories of next events. But it doesn’t use the scope. So all the categories who have had an event, eve passed, is displayed, which I find strange (what’s the use of displaying the categories of passed events ?). I tried to find an answer here, but I didn’t.

    echo EM_Categories::output(array( 'scope'=>'future', 'exclude' => '86', 'hide_empty'=> '1'))

    Do I miss something (I think I do 😉

    Thanks for your help.

    you can try something like 

    $EM_Categories = EM_Categories::get($args);
foreach( $EM_Categories as $EM_Category ){

  echo $EM_Category->output('#_CATEGORYNAME');

}

    Thanks for the answer.
    Your code does exactly the same : it lists all categories, even those with only passed events. (Of course I add a scope =>future in the $args).

    So I did this, but it seems very raw to me 😉 And I think it does a lot of queries !

    $events = EM_Categories::get(array('hide_empty'=> '1'));
Global $CatsIds;
foreach($events as $Cats){
	$categorie = $Cats->id;
	$events_count = EM_Events::count( array('category'=>$Cats->id, 'scope'=>'future') );
	if ($events_count > 0) $CatsIds.="$categorie, ";
}
$args = array('orderby' => count,'order' => DESC,'taxonomy' => 'event-categories','include'  => $CatsIds,);
wp_list_categories( $args );

    Thanks again for your trying.

    I think the problem here is that scope isn’t available for use with EM_Categories.
