Event Dates

[Daniel]

Hi,

We will be using this for courses that require an individual to apply by a certain date. For sorting purposes on our site, we realize we need to set the event date to be the application deadline. However, these courses have anywhere from 1 to 4 date ranges that they meet. We can put this in the description of the course but that would not allow a user to sort (using filter bar, which we intent to purchase), based upon actual workshop or course dates ONLY the application deadline.

Is there a way to create a custom field that would allow use to have more than one date and distinguish which is an application deadline (and fall of the listing) versus which are course/workshop dates?

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for contacting us and for considering our plugins 🙂

A combination of Events Calendar PRO (to let you define custom fields) and Filter Bar (which will let users filter using those custom fields) could certainly get you close.

There would be a few shortcomings, though, such as an inability to fluidly filter by date range in relation to that custom field. Our plugins are nothing if not customizable, though, so you could certainly add the functionality you need if you are or have access to an experienced WordPress developer – but I did want to be clear that, “out of the box”, it might not quite meet your goals and expectations.

Please do let me know if you have any further questions!

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
