Category Listing for Past Events

[Dwayne]

Hello,

On my website, I am displaying a list of Past Events. In the Summary I am also showing the Categories for these events.

When clicking on the category for the past events, the page defaults to the Upcoming events in that category (not the past events).

How would I go about linking category pages which show events in the past? Is there a variable I can save and use on the category page, or some kind of pre-created solution for this functionality? Any insight into documents or code that would be helpful would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can help out here.

By default we create the category views for the calendar and each one of those creates a past events area if there are events.

We do not have a method to dynamically link there, but you could use the links generated when you vist it.

For instance if you have a category called lettuce, this would link to the past events first page for it in list view:

yoursite.org/events/category/lettuce/list/?tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=past

You could get those links for any of the past event category views you would like.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Brian,

Thanks for sharing this info with me.

Is there a way to store a variable on this page – something that could be added to the body class etc?

I want to conditionally hide some info on these archive pages for past events.

I see “tribe-events-header” is getting this URL string (calendar/list/?tribe_event_display=past) as the data-baseurl.. Maybe I can apply that to a CSS class name for the entire wrapper on this page?

Thanks so much.

Here is a list of our conditionals:

One of those might work.
