Hide Events from Non-Members

[catrancher]

I’m using the Members plugin from Justin Tadlock on my homeowners association site and have established a capability that restricts post visibility to homeowners association members only. I’ve done this by adding a “pre_get_posts” filter on the the main query that filters on user meta information by querying for the members capability. So far so good. All posts that are marked for homeowners only are blocked.
Now within Event Calendar PRO, I’m able to specify that certain events are for homeowners only and in the “Event List” view, they are indeed blocked and do not show up. However, in the “Calendar (grid)” view, they’re still visible.
I’ve verified that my filter is being executed for both the Event List view as well as the Calendar view. Any ideas why these events would be hidden in the Event List view (as they should be) but show up in the Calendar view?

Thanks!

Can you share your code?

[catrancher]

Sure Barry. Thanks. Here’s the filter I’m using. Hope it’s OK like this:
function tg_pre_get_posts_query( $query ) {
if (current_user_can( ‘view_hoa_content’ ) ) {
return;
} elseif ( $query->is_main_query() && !is_admin() ) {
$meta_query = array(
‘relation’ => ‘OR’,
array(
‘key’ => ‘_members_access_role’,
‘value’ => ”,
‘compare’ => ‘NOT EXISTS’
),
array(
‘key’ => ‘_members_access_role’,
‘value’ => ‘homeowner’,
‘compare’ => ‘!=’
)
);
$query->set( ‘meta_query’, $meta_query );
}
return;
}

add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘tg_pre_get_posts_query’ );

Let me know if you need more information! And thanks,

Any update Barry?

Thanks,

Sorry for the delay Tom, but yes: the code will not run because pre_get_posts doesn’t fire in that scenario so, basically, you’d have to find another way of doing this – such as using the tribe_get_events filter.

I’ve verified that my filter is being executed for both the Event List view as well as the Calendar view.

To clarify, pre_get_posts will typically happen one or more times during the request – but not in relation to the events being fetched for the calendar grid.

Thanks Barry. Ok. Let me see what I can work out with the tribe_get_events filter.
