iCal for all future events

[Honey Shelton]

We are looking at building an app and are exploring event calendar integration. In most app builders, the easiest way to do this is with iCal functionality. However if I use http://www.oursite.com/events/?ical=1&full-export it only retrieves the calendar for the current month. Is there a way to get all future events?

Hi hshelton,

Adding “full-export” is not something The Events Calendar understands by itself, you’d need to add some code such as discussed in this topic.

Does that help?

Yes, that will definitely help but my php knowledge is limited to editing some woocommerce account page files to make them look differently. Do I add this to WP’s functions.php or to one of The Event Calendar .php files?
Can I add this to a php file in our child theme that would get loaded in addition to the core files?

This is what I think I need to add.

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'full_ical_export' );

function full_ical_export( WP_Query $query ) {
if ( ! isset( $_GET['ical'] ) || ! isset( $_GET['full-export'] ) ) return;
if ( ! isset( $query->tribe_is_event_query ) || ! $query->tribe_is_event_query ) return;

$query->set( 'eventDisplay', 'custom' );
$query->set( 'start_date', 'now′ );
$query->set( 'end_date', '3000-01-01′ );
$query->set( 'posts_per_page', '-1′ );
}

The functions.php file within your theme or child theme is certainly one place you can add it – alternatively you could place it in a custom plugin, but often people find the first of those options (the theme’s functions.php file) to be easiest route 🙂
