Events categories links

I guess that is something that I'm still not understanding how to do properly.

perch_events_event_categories() needs to be added to my event.php page, or is there a another way to retrieve that information directly into my event-detail.html template?

Something like this?

    $categories = perch_events_event_categories();


    PerchSystem::set_vars(array(
            'eventEnd'=> $eventEnd,
            'eventCategories'=> $categories
        ));

Not sure how to retrieve all assigned categories and their slugs and then reassemble in my template.

I apologize, not my strong suit.

Tried grabbing info from my event.html template, but when I do a showall, I only see the categories in the ID column and values of "true" assigned to them:

sports-recreation true town-services true

I'm looking for the event's separate categorySlug(s) & categoryTitle(s), where do they reside or what is the argument to pass to get them?

Yes.

/events/event.php?s=2016-01-08-senior-mixed-curling-championship

Still not working. Now the page loads blank. Path to template is correct and in place.

Did I add the code to the wrong place? Should it be down in the if (perch_get('s')) section?

<?php
    include('../perch/runtime.php');

        $opts_meta = array(
                'filter'=>'eventSlug',
                'match'=>'eq',
                'value'=>perch_get('s'),
                'template'=>'event.html',
                'skip-template'=>'true'
            );

       $data_meta = perch_events_custom($opts_meta);

           $title = $data_meta[0]['eventTitle'];

        $eventEnd = $data_meta[0]['eventDateTime'];
        $eventEnd = strtotime($eventEnd) + 3600;
        $eventEnd = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $eventEnd);

      $categories = perch_events_event_categories(perch_get('s'), [
            'template' => 'event_category_link.html',
        ], true);

    PerchSystem::set_vars(array(
     'eventCategories'=> $categories,
            'eventEnd'=> $eventEnd
        ));

    perch_layout('events.above', array(
            'title'=> $title
        ));

    if (perch_get('s')) {
        perch_events_custom(array(
            'template'   => 'listing/event-detail.html',
            'filter'     => 'eventSlug',
            'match'      => 'eq',
            'value'      => perch_get('s'),
        ));
    }else{
        perch_events_custom(array(
            'template'   => 'listing/custom-listing-day.html',
            'sort'       => 'eventDateTime',
            'sort-order' => 'ASC',
            'filter'     => 'eventDateTime',
            'match'      => 'eqbetween',
            'value'      => date('Y-m-d, Y-m-31'),
        ));
    }
   perch_layout('events.below');
?>

Doesn't seem to be finding anything:

Array ( [perch_page_path] => /events/event.php [eventEnd] => 2016-01-08 09:00:00 [eventCategories] => )

Yes, I'm getting it back.

Also not sure if this helps, I'm a set to development mode and haven't modified anything relating to Perch or the events app.

Is there a way to test if the perch_events_event_categories function is actually working?

If I made the path for the template correct, the page doesn't load at all, no debug, nothing.

Below is returned, if template path purposely broken:

SELECT DISTINCT e.* FROM perch2_events e WHERE eventSlug='2016-01-08-gncc-senior-mixed-curling-championship' SELECT c.* FROM perch2_events_categories c, perch2_events_to_categories e2c WHERE c.categoryID=e2c.categoryID AND e2c.eventID='12' SELECT * FROM perch2_events WHERE eventSlug = '2016-01-08-gncc-senior-mixed-curling-championship' SELECT categoryID FROM perch2_events_to_categories WHERE eventID = '12' SELECT c.* FROM perch2_events_categories c, perch2_events_to_categories e2c WHERE c.categoryID=e2c.categoryID AND e2c.eventID='12' SELECT DISTINCT settingID, settingValue FROM perch2_settings WHERE userID=0

Template file not found: /home/norfolkct/public_html/perch/addons/apps/perch_events/templates/events//events/event_category_link.html

Could the perch_events_event_categories function be screwing up the template path? I fixed the path and double checked that the template "event_category_link.html" exists both in the templates/events/ and in the apps/perch_events/templates folders (as a test) still nothing.

The following doesn't work or debug (unless I purposely break the path to the template, then debug works, but the it doesn't do anything, see above)

$categories = perch_events_event_categories(perch_get('s'), [
    'template' => 'event_category_link.html',
], true);

So there is no way to test if perch_events_event_categories is actually the issue? Why would the debug not work with correct path to linked template? Could this same function be done with straight PHP? (if so, how? :)
