Featured event – calendar grid view

[Sandro]

I already made allot of customizations to this already awesome calendar plugin 🙂

1 big change I did was to ditch text links and use images of events instead.
Now I’m thinking to implement Featured event thingy. So whenever I add tag “featuredevent” to the event post, on the calendar it will be displayed with bigger image.

With ordinary wordpress posts this would be easy, I would make double loop. First that grabs only featured and second that grabs the rest of the posts.
But since architecture of events calendar is a bit more complicated than this, I hope you can give me some pointers 🙂

I’m unsure why you’d need to make two passes through the loop – can’t you test on each iteration to see if the event has been marked as featured, then modify the generated markup appropriately?

I’d like it to come up at the top of the listing.

So in the context of the month or grid view, you could inspect the $monthview array and pull out what you need before the table is rendered.

Hey Sandro, I was wondering how exactly did you solved your issue with the multiday event cutoff in Event List view (https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/single-day-view-displaying-past-day-events/)

[Barry]

Hi Darius, are we able to help here (or has Sandro contacted you by other means)?

[Sandro]

Darius, as I’ve noted in that ticket, I solved single day view by this code:

Where $current_url_date is taken from the url.

I was not able to fix upcoming events list though, is that what you mean?
