Group events by Date

[Tali]

I was looking for a solution in the forums and found this post by Darius (Dated Nov. 25th):

My list tends to have multiple events per day (sometimes as many as 20) and what I’d like to do is output the events such that the list shows events grouped by date, using just the title, time and location… for example,

Monday November 26, 2012
Event 1: 3PM @ Location 1
Event 2: 3PM @ Location 2
Event 3: 3PM @ Location 3

Tuesday, November 27, 2012
Event 1: 3PM @ Location 1
Event 2: 3PM @ Location 2
Event 3: 3PM @ Location 3

I’m pretty sure I know how to edit the list.php to show just the title, location, and time, but is it possible to group the events by date instead of having the date above each event?

I’m trying to accomplish the exact same thing only I apparently have none of Darius’ know how. He figured it out on his own, and you guys closed the thread, but I’m hoping you can help me with this!

Hi Tali: please take a look at our tutorial on template overrides first of all – what you would need to do here is modify the list.php template. In this instance, it would mostly be a matter of removing some of the existing markup – this might form a starting point for you:

Hi Barry,
That mostly worked…there’s just a simple cosmetic issue I should address:
The title of the first event of each day is a different color from the rest of the events of that day. I could probably figure it out but it will honestly take me upwards of two hours. Could you point me in the right direction?

Here’s the link the my event list page: upcoming

I’m not sure I can see the problem – did you resolve this already/can you be more specific?

[Tali]

Sorry, I sorted it out and forgot to update my post. Thanks!

[Barry]

No problem, glad it’s working for you.
