Event List Sort by Month Header

[Terrance]

Hi,
In event list view, each of the event has their own event start date, which is good.

How can I get only the ‘Month’ for all the events that fall within that month instead of having the individual date for each event.

Something like this:

Jan
– Event 1
– Event 2
– Event 3
Feb
– Event 1
– Event 2
Mar
– Event 1

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the note, Terrance. That should be doable with a little hackery. Let me get our dev Jonah to chime in with his suggestions.

[Terrance]

Cool, looking forward to it.

Hey Terrance. I talked this over with Jonah. Looks like this is a rather complex task to do in WordPress alone, let alone with events. We are going to put together an FAQ/tutorial on this but it’s going to take some time to do – we’re aiming to get that published this week. Just wanted to give you a heads up since providing one-off hackery in this thread probably won’t be possible given the depth of work here. Apologies about that.

[Terrance]

No problem. Thanks for getting back.

Sure, I will look forward to the FAQ/tutorial. Let me know once it’s up. Thank you!

I achieved what your looking for with relative ease, thought I would post what I did since I read this thread first looking for a solution.

At the start of the loop after while statement in list.php I added:

<?php if($events_list_month == $events_list_current_month) { } else { echo '’ .$events_list_current_month. ”; }

?>

at at the end of the loop before the endwhile; I added:

I’ve not tested it fully, but it appears to be working on my installation.

[Sean]

That didn’t work, trying again:

before loop:

$events_list_current_month_date_format = ‘F’;
$events_list_current_month = tribe_get_start_date( null, false, $events_list_current_month_date_format );

if($events_list_month == $events_list_current_month) { } else { echo ” .$events_list_current_month. ”; }

After loop:

$events_list_month = $events_list_current_month;

In PHP tags obviously.

[Sean]

Still didn’t paste fully, oh well I tried.

[Sean]

One last go

start of loop

<?php if($events_list_month == $events_list_current_month) { } else { echo '' .$events_list_current_month. ''; } ?>

end of loop

[Rob]

Hey Sean: thanks for this. We’re working to fix the forum so code pastes work fine here; in the interim, feel free to use pastie.org or something similar. Apologies for the inconvenience there.

[Terrance]

Any update on this?

[Rob]

We’re still putting together our tutorial on the subject but got derailed due to the bugs that came up in 2.0.2. If Sean can confirm anything on his end, that may give us a workaround in the interim. But this is still in the works on our end and will certainly be up on the site by the end of the month.
