Exclude Category from Calendar View

[UNC Web Services]

I am working on a custom events integration and have created a custom taxonomy (special => ongoing) that I am using to display “ongoing” events on the sidebar in their own custom display. That is working well. 🙂

What I need to do is exclude the any listings with this taxonomy from the main displays for archive pages. I have done that just fine in the upcoming view (/events/category/arts/upcoming/) by adding the following function to the top of my ecp-page-template.php.

function excludeongoing () {
global $wp_query;
$newargs = array(
‘tax_query’ => array(
‘relation’ => ‘AND’,
array(
‘taxonomy’ => ‘special’,
‘field’ => ‘slug’,
‘terms’ => ‘ongoing’,
‘operator’ => ‘NOT IN’,
)
)
);
$args = array_merge( $wp_query->query_vars, $newargs);
query_posts($args);
}

What I can’t seem to do is find a way to control the query that is pulling in the events for the calendar grid view (/events/category/arts/month/). I would think the page template would do it, but it seems to still show my ongoing events. I tried adding it to the table.php and gridview.php as well. Where is that query for the calendar coming from?

Thanks for your help!

Stumbled across this simliar thread:

Exclude One Category from Upcoming Events List

I didn’t need to exclude it from all views, but I was able to modify the solution to include a conditional statement for the month:

|| $query->query_vars[‘post_type’] == TribeEvents::POSTTYPE && $query->query_vars[‘eventDisplay’] == ‘month’

I think I’m good now… 🙂
