Events list on WP-Backend list from recent to oldest/Restrict access

[Kyle]

Hi, great plugin as I’ve had a lot of success with it so far.

But I’m having a couple problems.

First, I want the events on the list to show from most recent to oldest by default instead of having to click the “Start Date” button everytime I look at the events list. Is there a way to do this?

The other problem I am having is I’m trying to restrict access to view the calendar unless you are logged into the site. I tried a couple plugins to do this but the problem is that I can’t restrict it to the calendar because it isn’t on a wordpress page. It seems that your plugin created a page automatically and I can’t find it on the wordpress backend. Is there a workaround?

Thanks,
Kyle Janky

Hi Kyle,

This snippet should help with the events order: https://gist.github.com/jo-snips/5088084 – just add that to your theme’s functions.php file.

For making the calendar private, you might want to check out these threads:

/events and /events/month private

Make entire calendar private?

I hope that helps but let me know if you need anything else.

Hi Jonah,
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately adding that to my functions.php file didn’t work. It deleted all of my events on the events list in the wp-admin. When I removed the code from functions.php, they came back. So I don’t know if there is a different solution?
And with making the calendar private, I have no doubt that in those threads there was a solution, but they were pretty vaugue on how to do them and I am not an expert in php code. So maybe if I could get an easier answer?
Thanks,

Kyle

Hi Kyle,

Make sure you are following proper PHP standards, i.e. wherever you added it you might need to simply remove the opening PHP tag. The code should work, you just need to paste it in correctly. If you post your functions.php to http://snippi.com/ and share the snippet here I can take a look.

Unfortunately there is no easy way to make the calendar private and we can’t help you with a solution because it would be too involved. You’ll need to either hire someone to help you or figure it out on your own. Sorry I can’t offer up more on that.

Thank you for the response. I hear ya, no problem. I did put my functions.php here http://snippi.com/s/s8fv7tq so if you could take a look at that and see if I’m doing something wrong.

Is there any other threads on making the calendar private, or are those two the only ones? I will take a look through the history to see if I can find something else.

Thanks for your help,

Kyle

Just found a way to make calendar only visible to those that are logged in. You can find the solution below. You just have to put this into all the view php files.
