I\'d like to use DAY view with a starting date in the future

[barback]

I’m promoting a festival in July. The Day view would be the best way to display all of the events of the four day festival, but we need folks to see the calendar starting on July 14th, 2016.

Is there a way to modify code to get this? Anybody help?

Thanks!

Hi @barback,

Thanks for reaching out to us on this! I’ll help you here…

The easiest way to do this would be to append the specific date to the events URL and link users directly to it. For example: http://sitename.com/events/2016-07-14/. Do you think this might work for you? If not what solution are you thinking of?

Please let me know about it,
Best,
Nico

Thanks, I came to this solution, and it will probably work. But it doesn’t work as an alternative view if I use the list view as the default and want to allow folks to choose Day view.

List view works, because the first event in our calendar is the first day of the July festival. If they start there and want to see day view or week view, I’d like them to not come up empty.

If it can’t be done as a modification of the .php, I’ll have to provide menu links to the different views.

Thanks.

Hey @barback,

Thanks for following up!

I can get your point about this… One thing you might be able to do is to redirect the ’empty view’ to a ‘view URL with predefined date parameter’. For example take a look at the snippet in this article: Change the default view for categories to List view, it creates a redirect based on the view parameters, in this case the category but it might be the date.

Does something like this makes sense for your site?

Best,
Nico
