Disappearance of past events in Day,List & Photo views

[Austen Espeut]

How long is going to be till a version comes out when past events disappear immediately in these views as they do in the Time.ly plugin rather than the end of the day?

Hi Austen,

If things are working as they should you should not see any expired events on the first page of a list-type view.

It’s important to note, though, that until an event has ended it is still regarded as current (ie, if it is 9am and you have an event that started yesterday but doesn’t finish until 10am today – it is current up until 10am).

Is that what you are experiencing? If not, can you point me to a live example of what you are facing?

Hi Barry

We normally us Photo view but have now set it to list and we’re still getting the same problem 🙁

OK, so I can see you have a number of events that ended at or before noon, but are still present on the calendar (and it seems like you are UK based so we’re probably way passed that time of day where you are).

I’m wondering a couple of things here:

• What timezone is your WordPress installation set to? (you can determine this by visiting the Settings > General admin screen)
• Have you tried our standard troubleshooting steps? It’s not unknown for other plugins and even some themes to take it upon themselves to modify the timezone setting

Let me know what you find out!

Hi Barry

Our timezone is set to London and we’ve deactivated all our plugins except those relating to Calendar Pro.

We’re using 2015 template and were experiencing the same problem with 2012.

I do apologize Austen, I was way off track here. This is actually a known bug that should be fixed in our very next release if everything goes to plan.

In the interim, it might be this snippet (which you could add to your functions.php file) will provide some relief:

class temp_fix_33698 {
	public function __construct() {
		add_action( 'pre_get_posts', array( $this, 'pre_tribe' ) );
	}

	public function pre_tribe( $query ) {
		if ( 'list' !== $query->get( 'eventDisplay' ) ) return;
		if ( '' != $query->get( 'eventDate' ) ) return;
		add_action( 'tribe_events_pre_get_posts', array( $this, 'post_tribe' ) );
	}

	public function post_tribe( $query ) {
		remove_action( 'tribe_events_pre_get_posts', array( $this, 'post_tribe' ) );

		$set_to = $query->get( 'start_date' );
		$needs_correction = tribe_event_beginning_of_day( date_i18n( TribeDateUtils::DBDATETIMEFORMAT ) );

		if ( $set_to === $needs_correction )
			$query->set( 'start_date', date_i18n( TribeDateUtils::DBDATETIMEFORMAT ) );
	}
}

new temp_fix_33698;

Does that help at all?

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
