hide recurring events with user toggle and default \"on\"

[continuit]

Hi Guys,

Is there a way I can change the default setting of the user toggle (front-end option for displaying recurring events) so that it’s on by default instead of off? (preferably so I can set this for each page).

For example, by default I want to display all recurring events but for some views (like a photo view embedded in a page with the shortcode), I want to display only the first occurrence.

Cheers,
Glenn

Hi there Glenn,

Thanks for getting in touch with us!

Hopefully we have a snippet to do this:


/*
* Checks the front-end box "Show only the first upcoming instance of recurring events" by default
*/
function tribe_subsequent_recurrence_default( $option, $name, $default ) {
if ( $name === 'hideSubsequentRecurrencesDefault' && ! is_admin() ) $option = true;
return $option;
}
add_filter( 'tribe_get_option', 'tribe_subsequent_recurrence_default', 10, 3 );


You’ll need to add the appropriate conditional for this to only affect the page with the shortcode!

Please let me know if you can customize it or if you still need help,
Best,
Nico

Hey Nico, thanks for that. Much appreciated.

BTW: I found a quick work-around while I was waiting – just change the link to page to call the ?action=blablabla&tribeHideRecurrence=1 (in case anyone wants to use this method instead).

Cheers,
Glenn

Hey Glenn,

Stocked to hear this worked for you! Also, you’ve found a nice workaround 😉

I’ll go ahead and close out this thread, but if you need help with anything else please don’t hesitate to create a new one and we will be happy to assist you.

Best,
Nico
