add a date range selector in the search bar

[Kimberley]

Hi team – I’m referring to this forum post https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/search-bar-with-from-date-and-to-date-options/

I’d like to do something similar I think. I’d like for users to be able to select a date range on the search bar at the top of the page

http://dev.businesseventscairns.org.au/events/category/major-regional-events/

currently it’s just ‘search from’ . Is there a way to have

from date

to date

So that there is a specified date selection?

Please let me know if you’ve been able to provide more information on this and we’ll see if we can action.

Cheers

Good evening Kimberley and hello again!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

As my colleague Brook pointed out, currently there is no built-in feature that allows date range search.

It is however possible to add it through some coding. If you are new to this, I would recommend reading our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works AND following the advice Brook gave to that other gentleman who achieved this on his website.

That being said, I would encourage you to vote for that feature here: https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/4157351-date-range-picker

As an alternative, if this is a bit outside of your comfort zone, you might consider hiring one of our recommended customizers to do the customization for you.

Let me know if that helps get you started.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.

Okay Thanks Team, I’ve voted for the feature – it would be great to see this come into some not too distant updates

As a side note, you can also browse user voice and vote for any other feature you feel would be useful to you: https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas

For now, I am going to close this thread.

Have a great week!
