Creating an archive of events that have passed

[Florian Zumfelde]

Hi,

Now that we’ve been using your Events Calendar Pro plugin for almost over a year we would like to create a dedicated page
for events that have passed.

We’re trying to filter out those events by categorizing passed events a ‘past-events’ and using the shortcode [tribe_events_list category=”past-events”] shortcode but it’s not recognizing categorized past events, i.e. displaying a ‘There a no upcoming events at this time’. Obviously not as I’m trying to display past events 😉

Am I’m missing a trick here?

Any thoughts welcome on how to achieve that Archive of past events’.

All the best,
Florian

P.S. We’re aware of the http://www.swahsn.com/events/list/?tribe_event_display=past link but that would be a rather clunky work around.

Thanks for your thorough request, Florian.

Does it help that http://www.swahsn.com/events/past/ works, or is that not good enough for some reason?

[Florian Zumfelde]

Thank you for your reply Cliff.

Correct me if I’m wrong but http://www.swahsn.com/events/past loads http://www.swahsn.com/events/list/?tribe_event_display=past, yes?

Well, it’s good that it’s works but it’s not quite good enough as it involves a lot of scrolling and clicking.

We would like to scan past events easier and faster. Hence why we like the [tribe_events_list} shortcode. Here it is with upcoming dates http://www.swahsn.com/past-events-archive-test/

This would be perfect for an archive but it doesn’t display past dates. Is there anything we can do to achieve this or similar?

Regards,
Florian

That’s correct (about the URL).

I believe you’re requesting the same thing as one of our existing feature requests: https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/13101369-past-events-widget

Please do add your vote there.

This allows us to gauge interest in this particular feature request, which helps us prioritize our development efforts.

PRO’s Advanced List Widget is here: /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/widgets/list-widget.php

The core/free List Widget (which PRO’s replaces) is here: https://github.com/moderntribe/the-events-calendar/blob/4.4.5/src/views/widgets/list-widget.php

It calls the function from https://github.com/moderntribe/the-events-calendar/blob/4.4.5/src/functions/template-tags/widgets.php (see the tribe_get_list_widget_events filter), which calls https://github.com/moderntribe/the-events-calendar/blob/4.4.5/src/Tribe/List_Widget.php (or the tribe_events_list_widget_query_args filter)

That’s about as much help as I can provide toward this, since it would require custom coding.

I’ve added my vote to the feature request and have taken note of the links provided. We’ll get our dev to look at this and do his magic.

Thanks Cliff.

Cheers,
