    Hello,

    I am trying to find out if i can retrieve the different dates from a recurring event.

    Lets say that create a recurring event called “Webdevelopment”.

    And that event have these start and end dates.
    1/1/2014 – 15/1/2014
    1/2/2014 – 15/2/2014
    1/3/2014 – 15/3/2014

    So is there a way that i can extract these informations with eg. a shortcode or some sort of code that i can inject directly into a template or just manual adding it?

      Hi Morten,

      The closest we have to what you are requesting would be the Recurring Events Drop-down Template used in conjunction with the Custom Template Add-on

      This displays the Event with a drop down of the available dates for that event.

      Does that help?

          The Custom Template Add-on (CTA for short) comes included as part of the your license, however the Recurring Events Drop-down Template does not (so would need to be purchased separately)

          To give you an example of how it looks view here http://demoee.org/custom-template-add-on/

          The event ‘Recurring event with Seating Chart’ has multiple dates. If you click the ‘Select a date’ button those available dates will be displayed. http://d.pr/i/jd64

          Once you click the date you wish to attend you will be taken to the registration form for that event/date.

          The CTA comes with a default ‘table’ template if you install the add on and add the shortcode [EVENT_CUSTOM_VIEW] to a page you can view this default template (however is does not include a date drop-down)

          Installing the CTA is done in the same way you would install Event Espresso, we have a guide posted to guide you through available here:
