Order events in main blog loop by post date (fails after updates)

[Jim]

Hi Brian,

Thansk for the code snippet, which is currently active, with DESC sort. However, the sort in the blog is supposed to be using the posted date, not the event date. (Events in the list widget and events page are DESC by (next) event date.)

These are all events, with date info as they appear down the blog page:
From the first page of the blog at http://www.jimtovey.ca/news/
From the event page at http://www.jimtovey.ca/events/

Also, “Intended to works with ECP 3.12.x, may need to be revised for other releases.” is a bit troubling.

Hi,

Thanks for the information.

We are still looking at this, but we are not sure with the current coding and the changes to the recurrence system if we are going to get this customization to work.

I have a ticket in to look into addressing this, but do not have a timeline on when it might be changed.

If you need posts and events in the order by publish date it should still work in 3.11 so you could downgrade to the last version in 3.11 for all the Event Plugins on the site.

Another option is to use the original snippet, but turn off this setting:

Events > Settings > General Tab > “Recurring event instances”

As for this statement:

“Intended to works with ECP 3.12.x, may need to be revised for other releases.”

As this is a customized feature it may not work if something is changed. That is the same for all customizations as we can give no guarantee they will work in the next release. Although we try to make them work sometimes it is not possible.
