Filter events by users timezone

[Stephen]

We have events in multiple timezones and we would like to hide the events that aren’t in the users local timezone.
Is there existing support for this?

Hi Stephen!

Thanks for getting in touch with us!

We apologize for a bit of delay in getting back to you. We are dealing with a high volume of threads at the moment and we are slowly getting back to normal response times.

Unfortunately, that is not a built-in functionality of our plugins. You could probably achieve that with some custom coding. However, I anticipate that not being an easy task to accomplish.

I’m sorry I can’t be of much help here. Do let us know if you have follow up questions.

Best,
Victor

Hey Victor,
I don’t see much in the documentation about this.. what’s the best way to create a filter based on a parameter (like timezone) within the events loop, month / week / day views?

Hi Stephen,

You can learn more about how to customize our plugins in our Themer’s Guide > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

Also, we have a nice helper function to query events which is the tribe_get_events() function > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-tribe_get_events/

Let me note that we are fairly limited in how much support we can give for custom development questions like that.

That said, we always like helping out and at least point users into the right direction as much possible.

If you need to create some customization around timezones I’d suggest you take a look at the Tribe__Events__Timezones class located at https://github.com/moderntribe/the-events-calendar/blob/master/src/Tribe/Timezones.php

I hope that helps. Let me know if any follow up questions.

Best,
Victor

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
The Events Calendar Support Team
