Event Expiration

[javier]

Hello!
When a event expires… Does It dissappear from database? Or Does it integrate the historic/archive of the web?
I need that the finalized event dissappear from my database to keep it clean from past info. How Can I do this?
Thanks!

Hi Javier,

Events do not disappear from the database when they expire and there is no setting through our plugin to be able to do this. You’ll want to find some plugin to help you with. Something like this might work for you: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/auto-delete-posts/

Good luck!

Thanks! I don´t want to use any plugin (if it possible to avoid it)…

Looking in the web I found this article… could there be any conflict or problem if I used the coding for expire/ auto-delete events????

Hi Javier,

I’m not sure, haven’t tested out that code. You’ll need to try it out and see if it works.

[javier]

I have made that code work in the normal or default post or blog entry… but not in the event content type… then it can´t modify the expiration of a event, just the expiration of a normal post.
…Through the way I have done it I imagine that I have to do the same process in some of the php events files, so…

Where is the loop of the event? and… Is there a similar php file such as Function.php (that make the similar function or replace it) in the event calendar plugin?

Thanks again Jonah!
Thanks

Hi Javier,

I’m going to need to get a developer to help with this because I’m not quite sure the answer. Stay tuned.

Cheers,
Jonah

Thanks Jonah!

I suppose that any users doesn´t want to use a plugin for this simple feature. It could be a new good feature to next versions.

Stay tuned for your answer. Thanks!

Just a heads up that we haven’t forgotten about this, Javier. The dev who will be assisting has been out the last few days but we will get you a response as soon as possible this week. Thanks for being patient so far.

Hi, Javier!

After looking at the code at http://j3webworks.com/blog/wordpress-make-posts-expire-or-auto-delete, I noticed that there is probably a way to get it to work for events (not just normal posts). If you see line 42 of that example code (the add_meta_box function), if you change the fourth argument from `post` to `tribe_events`, the meta box should start showing on the events pages (and not normal post pages). While I haven’t tested this out, I believe it should work. Keep us posted, and I hope you’re enjoying working with The Events Calendar!

Hi! First of all, thanks for your support! You’re the best support I’ve seen by now!
I made it work till the loop, but… where is the event’s loop??

Thanks again, guys!

Hi Javier,

To modify the loop you’ll want to use: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/pre_get_posts
