custom query – weekends

[Lynden Jones]

Is there a way to isolate the sat and sun events in a post query?
I think it would work similar to this – http://pastebin.com/9BhbUm7R but I am not sure how to tell it to only show saturday and sunday each week.

Hi – great question!

I suspect you could do so, but it is probably pushing the bounds of what you can reasonably do with tribe_get_events() alone – unless you also make use of meta data (which would need to be set up to mark relevant events as taking place on the weekend) – or else you could add your own conditions to the query by filtering the different components that make it up.

Alternatively, though less efficiently, you could retrieve all events in a given date range and discard those not taking place on the weekend with some custom PHP logic after the query results are obtained.

In either case it’s really a bit beyond what we can assist you with here, I’m afraid, but hopefully that gives you some ideas to explore.

Thanks!

it seems to be working with this code – http://pastebin.com/08FWtvCW
