querying future post status

[John]

i’m having some difficulties querying the future post status for the events pro posts.
would it be the generic single.php or page.php in the theme? or should i be tinkering with the plugin files?

Hey John. We can help you out here; what exactly are you aiming to accomplish?

[John]

for the single events, i’ve changed the published dates so that the event date and publish dates reflects the start date. So I’m running into the issue that the events become future in post status. comparing this, http://architecture.risd.edu/event/environmental-control-systems-john-fernandez/ to this future post, http://architecture.risd.edu/event/position-practice-john-peterson-damon-rich-ahti-wesphal/. I want to know where I can set the query so that its display both the publish and future. I tired the regular wordpress query method with the_title(); and the_content();
The title function works, but the content isn’t pulling in anything…

I hope I’m clear. let me know if i’m not. sorry.

Nope, this is perfect…thanks for confirming. This is a bit outside my technical area of expertise, but I’m going to get our dev Jonah to chime in directly.

Hi John,

I’m still not clear on what you’re trying to do. I understand that a future dated post will not display by default, is that the issue you’re having? You need to display the future events?

Thanks,
Jonah

Hi, Jonah.

Yes, that is basically what I want to do.

Thanks!

[Rob]

Thanks for confirming, John. Jonah will respond on this today.

Hi John,

You can adjust the query by adding the post_status paramter like so:


$posts = tribe_get_events( array('eventDisplay'=>'upcoming', 'posts_per_page'=>-1, 'post_status'=>array('publish','future')));


In fact you can use all of the parameters available for WP_Query as referenced here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

I hope that’s what you need but let me know if you need anything else.

Regards,
Jonah

Hi, Jonah.

Thanks. I got it to work with $post rather than $posts. It’s working. I appreciate your help!

Best,
John

[Rob]
