Different date ranges for different views

[Irene]

Hi,

on my site I have a calendar view by week and a list view. I have set the calendar to a specific month with a function.

Of course all the views are affected by that function. Would it be possible to have different date ranges for different views?

function tribe_set_default_date () {
	if ( !is_single() && empty( $_REQUEST['tribe-bar-date'] ) ) {
		$_REQUEST['tribe-bar-date'] = '2015-01-01';
	}
}
add_action( 'parse_query', 'tribe_set_default_date' );

Thanks.

Hi,

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

I am not 100% sure of what you are trying to do, but we do have this list of conditionals that can help you target specific views:

Does that help?

Hi Brian,

I an building a website for a congress. Under the section “Agenda” I want to show only the week of the congress. In the list widget on top of the site I have some important dates prior the congress that I need to show.

If you go to http://www.spn8.nl you will see what I mean.
I tried:

function tribe_set_default_date () {
	if ( !is_single() && empty( $_REQUEST['tribe-bar-date'] ) ) {
		$_REQUEST['tribe-bar-date'] = '2016-08-29';
	}
}
if( tribe_is_week()) { // Week View Page
add_action( 'parse_query', 'tribe_set_default_date' );
}

But the week view still shows the current week.

Thank you

Hi,

Try adding the conditional in the function and not around the action like this:

function tribe_set_default_date () {
if( tribe_is_week()) { // Week View Page
if ( !is_single() && empty( $_REQUEST['tribe-bar-date'] ) ) {
$_REQUEST['tribe-bar-date'] = '2016-08-29';
}
}
}

add_action( 'parse_query', 'tribe_set_default_date' );

Hi Brian,

This doesn’t work either. Giving a good think the problem is probably that the ‘tribe-bar-date’ gives the date for the whole agenda. So I should set a second default-date parameter and target the week view with that. But I have no idea how to do that. I’m not very acquainted with php.

Hi,

Are you just trying to modify the Event List Widget? I am not sure if you mean that or the actual week view found at /events/

I can try to help out here some more, but I am limited in supporting customizations so I cannot provide all the coding you might need.

But let me know about my question and we can go from here.

Thanks

Hi Brian,

I try to set the week view found at /events/ beginning by a particular date. I tried with the code you mentioned above but the week begins today, so nothing changes.

I have also tried with this:

function tribe_set_default_date () {
    if ( !is_single() && empty( $_REQUEST['tribe-bar-date'] ) ) {
        $_REQUEST['tribe-bar-date'] = '2015-01-01';
    }
}
add_action( 'parse_query', 'tribe_set_default_date' );

But then I can’t see the events in the list widget that are prior that date, which is logical.

Thanks

Hi,

Ok I played around with this and think I got it to work and should not break the list view.

Try out this:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'tribe_set_default_date', 15 );
function tribe_set_default_date ( $query ) {
if ( tribe_is_week() ) {
$query->set( 'eventDate', '2016-08-29' );
}
}

That coding will prevent going between weeks of the week view and only enable you to see the week starting on the date set there.

Let me know if that works out for you.

Thanks

Finally! It does work.

Thank you so much. Is exactly what I need.

Cheers
Irene
