Custom Upcoming Event Display

[Xpert]

I am using custom loop to generate the upcoming events. I would like to list the event as ‘Now’, ‘Soon’ and ‘Upcoming’ . Since I was in hurry and i am not good at programming 🙁 , I decided to assign category for events- like, ‘now’, ‘soon’ etc!. It works fine but that was not exactly i want.

1) List the events that occurring on the current day as ‘NOW’.
2) List the events from next 30 days except ‘Now’ as ‘Soon’.
3) List all other events as ‘Upcoming’.

This is the loop i am using.

'upcoming', 'eventCat' => 15,'posts_per_page'=>50) );
foreach($upcoming as $post) : setup_postdata($post);?>


Thanks in advance.

global $post;
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$upcoming = tribe_get_events( array('eventDisplay'=>'upcoming', 'eventCat' => 15,'posts_per_page'=>50) );
foreach($upcoming as $post) : setup_postdata($post)

Hey Xpert. Thanks for sharing this. I’m not sure about this, but let me get our dev Jonah to take a look and see if he can offer up any suggestions.

Hey Xpert,

For #1 and #2, you can use the ‘start_date’ and ‘end_date’ arguments in the query to set your date range. You’ll need to figure out how to get today’s date and the next 30 days from todays date but that shouldn’t be too hard to Google.

For #3 you can just use ‘eventDisplay’=>’upcoming’ and that will pull in only your upcoming events.

Let us know if you need anything else.

Hi Jonah,

Thank you for your tips. I am using below code to list the events after 7 days. But unfortunately didn’t work.
Any solutions?.


$CurrentDate = date('j M Y');
$week = date('W');
$Sevendays= date('j M Y', strtotime('7 days'));
echo $Sevendays;
$soon = tribe_get_events(array('eventDisplay'=>'upcoming','start_date'>$Sevendays,'posts_per_page'=>50) );
foreach($soon as $post) : setup_postdata($post);?>


Thank you.

Hey Xpert. Jonah can take another look at this to see what’s wrong, but ultimately it’s going to be up to you to figure out the right code to use (as we just don’t have the support bandwidth to provide specific guidance on every custom request out there, unfortunately). Hopefully he can point you in the right direction with another quick look.

Hi Xpert, you’re going to want to pass in an end date as well. In your example above you could set the end date like so:


$EndDate = date('j M Y', strtotime('30 days'));


So I think you would want to use ‘start_date’=>$CurrentDate and ‘end_date’=>$EndDate

Also, I don’t think you need the eventDisplay arg in there. This works for me.
