I’m not even sure if I found a fix or not! If it comes back to me I’ll let you know, but I’m sorry I don’t have time to search now (packing to leave today).

Good luck!

What code do I need to put into what custom WP Page or .htaccess file to get this thing to work. I've subscribed to and searched Alex's mailing list and have found nothing.


So how did you solve that one, Stephanie? Inquiring minds want to know!


Thanks.

If you want the events to show up as regular posts and on a separate page. You can just post the events using a strict layout. Then create a template which accepts ONLY your events category to show them.


With some small hacks i can imagine you don't need plugins at all to get done what you want :)


All of the info you need for this is in http://codex.wordpress.org
Do a search for 'category page'.


Have fun.

I'd like to add a rule which goes:

(Safari really hates your blog – I can't post comments.)


You have two choices: Use an Apache mod_rewrite rule to make a pretty URL for the query. OR embed the query into a page using a WP query_posts() call – see recent traffic on the mailing list for an example.


As for separate pages for each category: Queries like ?ec3_after=today&cat=3 ought to work.



The query works — now I just have to figure out if it's less of a pain to try to get mod_rewrite to work, or to conjure up custom templates for those pages.

So… the only problem now is to change that ugly “?” URL into a pretty WordPress Page address. I'm willing to try rewriting it again, but it failed miserably last time I tried.


Plus, there is still the “two categories” issue. As I've set it up, I have an “Events” category and two subcategories “France” and “Switzerland”. So the events are indeed in two categories. Now how could I split the ?ec3_after=today page to display either just France, or just Switzerland?
