Query ongoing events only

[Liana]

Hey posted this on twitter and was directed here (which makes a lot of sense)

Pretty much I need to query ongoing and single day events separately, I see in the docs you can check whether is/not ongoing but I can’t see any docs surrounding querying this directly.

Current code (simple) is as follows: http://pastebin.com/1Q0u0z38

Pretty much what I need is the proper syntax for

$events = tribe_get_events(‘ongoing’ => ‘true’);

Hope i’ve explained myself properly.

Thanks

Thanks for posting this, Liana. Makes perfect sense. Good question – that’s a bit outside my area of expertise but I’ve got our developer Jonah looking at it now; expect a response over the next 24 hours.

I didn’t know whether to split off ask on this thread but new question.

I need to grab the category name or ID for sorting purposes too, is there a tribe_get_category(); type function?

I found tribe_meta_event_category_name() in the docs but the params seem to be from the url rather than being able to feed an ID directly into it.

I have also looked through tribe_get_events / tribe_get_event_meta and neither return it.

Any ideas?

Got Jonah looking at this now. Thanks Liana 🙂

Hi Liana,

Have you tried using the tribe_is_multiday() function wrapped around your query? For example: http://pastebin.com/SUNPSidX

Hopefully that helps.
