Custom Search for events

[Hunter]

I have a search form on the gridview page.

<form role="search" method="post" name="searchform" id="searchform" action="”>

Keyword:

events

in Category
true,
‘name’=> ‘tribe_events_cat’,
‘taxonomy’=> ‘tribe_events_cat’);
wp_dropdown_categories_test( $args )
?>

between

and

Search Events

In the list view, I am taking the start and end dates from the search to get events in between those dates with this code.

= $start_date_search && $end_date_event

= $start_date_search && empty($tribe_events_end_date)): ?>

Any ideas as to why it just shows events from the current month. If I do not enter a start and end search date, all events show normal. If I enter a search date in october it shows none, when there are events there.

Hi Hunter, our code posting sucks right now but we’ll be improving it soon. For now use pastie.org or gist for pasting code snippets…

This is a bit above my head and more that we can really help with in the forums but I think what you’ll want to do here is modify the query string that’s passed in the URL. So in your form action you’ll want to dynamically pass in whatever was selected in the category drop down. Right now you’ve just got /events/upcoming and you’ll want to change that to events/category/your_selected_cat_name/upcoming/

Another option would be hooking into pre_get_posts (http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/pre_get_posts) and adjusting the query based up on your search parameters there. I hope that helps and please do share whatever solution you come up with.

FYI, we are looking to add functionality like this in a future version too 🙂

I also found this in a google search that might help: http://melandri.net/2011/12/31/multiple-categories-filter-in-wordpress-search/
