Listing only some event types with CiviEvent Widget

Question

we are using the CiviEvent Widget, I’m struggling to figure out how to display a list of event ids, but not others using shortcode. I would like for example to list events of id 9,10,11 exclusively. I've tried seperating the id's by coma, semi-colon etc... but have had no success, it usually just displays the first id number i list.

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

The document says you add custom filters on shortcode

try adding

[civievent_widget custom_filter='{"start_date":{"IS NOT NULL":1},"id":{"IN":[9,10,11]},"is_public":1,"options":{"sort": "start_date ASC"}}' admin_type="custom" custom_display='{"event_title_infolink":{"title":0,"prefix":null,"suffix":null,"wrapper":1},"description":{"title":1,"prefix":null,"suffix":null,"wrapper":1}}' limit=5] 

Also you will need to amend the patch below to decode html entities
