filter UPCOMING events in V3?!

[tapps]

HELP! after upgrading to v3, my custom code is completely shot.

i’m using a query to be able to put UPCOMING events into my jquery slideshow on the homepage.. but they hide when they were no longer UPCOMING.

so PLEASE help me, i’ve been searching for what to replace this attribute:
‘eventDisplay’ => ‘upcoming’
with in the new update? i can’t find it anywhere! and having this removed seems to completely defeat the purpose of having a calendar plugin if i can’t hide non-upcoming events.

any devs here today?

Hi Tracy!

The forums are indeed staffed today but (also for the benefit of others) you should be aware that although we strive to answer as quickly as possible that might not necessarily be any faster than within 24hrs of a thread being posted – also note that we do not typically provide weekend coverage.

i’m using a query to be able to put UPCOMING events into my jquery slideshow on the homepage.. but they hide when they were no longer UPCOMING.

It’s very difficult for me to guess without seeing the code: eventDisplay is still in use and upcoming is still a valid value for it – so I would really need a better picture of how your code looks and where and when it is running.

We usually recommend our tribe_get_events() function for this sort of work and, again, that has not changed – so I’m not sure what the problem is but please do share what you can (using Pastebin, Gist or a similar service rather than posting code directly in the forum) and I’ll be happy to take a look 🙂

here’s the code:
===================
$query1 =
array(
‘post_type’=> ‘post’,
‘category_name’ => ‘Homepage Slideshow’,
‘showposts’ => 5,
‘orderby’ => rand
);
$query2 =
array (
‘post_type’ => ‘tribe_events’,
‘eventDisplay’ => ‘upcoming’,
‘tribe_events_cat’ => ‘featured-event’,
‘showposts’ => 5,
‘orderby’ => rand
);
$postGroup1 = get_posts( $query1);
$postGroup2= get_posts( $query2);

$mergedcrap = array_merge($postGroup2, $postGroup1);

foreach ( $mergedcrap as $post ) { (the loop code here) }

==============
suddenly after update, all the past events were still showing up on the homepage. ( http://milwaukeesynod.org/ ) i temporally fixed this by going through and editing each. and. every. event that was categorized “featured-event” and unselecting that category (BWT, it would be nice to be able to mass un-select a category of a group of events… but i digress)

so where is the error occurring if “upcoming” is still the correct filter?

You’re using get_posts() and it may be that The Events Calendar-specific variables such as eventDisplay are not being respected (since that is a generic WordPress function).

Can you try again with tribe_get_events()?

[tapps]

yep. that seemed to work. thanks!

[Barry]

Excellent!
