adding past events to list view

i just want to add 10 previous events to the bottom of the list view. with a heading that says “past events”

Hi – interesting idea!

The best starting place for a customization like this is our Themer’s Guide which covers the basics of safely overriding and customizing our templates. You’re probably also going to want to dig into our tribe_get_events() function (and a solid understanding of how WP_Query works would be an added bonus).

I wish you luck – let me know how you get on 🙂

i looked through this, i still have no idea which php template to even start with.

Well, it sounds like views/list.php would be a good starting place. You might even do this without template overrides by using the tribe_events_after_template hook – that way you could “inject” a new list from your theme’s functions.php file, if that happened to be preferable to working with template overrides:

add_action( 'tribe_events_after_template', 'custom_past_events_list' );

function custom_past_events_list() {
	if ( ! tribe_is_upcoming() ) return;
	$past_list = 'You might call another function which generates this';
	echo $past_list;
}

A great deal depends on what you’re comfortable with, but that’s another avenue you could explore.

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
